Role Overview

Transcend is seeking highly motivated and experienced Engineering Managers. The ideal candidate is a player-coach engineering leader, someone who can manage a high-performing team in a fast-paced environment, and who is able to deep-dive into the stack when necessary. 

We are looking for Engineering Managers to lead our following teams:

• Consent Configuration & Regulation - Collect & enforce user consent, and provide our customers with useful tools to consume that consent data. One of these tools functions similarly as a firewall running on your browser to selectively block or allow data to be sent out to backend servers. Other tools provide APIs & UIs to access consent data to ensure user consent is respected before being used by internal systems.
• Assessments & Platform - Own the Assessments product and core platform capabilities. Assessments enables customers to create, assign, and manage privacy compliance reviews -- including DPIAs, vendor risk assessments, and AI governance assessments -- with automated triggers, approval workflows, and direct output to Records of Processing Activities (RoPAs) and the Data Inventory. On the platform side, the team owns cross-product infrastructure like the task management system (action items, notifications, error routing), audit logs, data reports, and shared UX patterns -- working across the full stack in TypeScript, React, and GraphQL against Postgres at meaningful scale.
