About Keepme

Keepme is a fast-growing SaaS platform for the fitness & wellness industry. We help gyms and studios grow using automation, data, and AI.

We’re deep in some exciting technical work: upgrading our core app to Laravel 12, rolling out multi-region AWS infrastructure, and expanding our AI-powered sales agent suite.

The Role

Engineering Manager

You’ll lead multiple concurrent projects, manage a talented distributed team, and shape how we build. You’ll have a hand in everything from project execution to engineering standards, and you’ll play a key role in how we apply AI across development and delivery.

What You’ll Do

• Own the planning and delivery of key initiatives — Laravel upgrade, infra rollout, customer integrations, and AI modules.
• Break down complex projects into clear, achievable milestones with strong dependency tracking.
• Lead and coach a distributed team (Laravel, Node/React, DevOps); drive accountability, clarity, and growth.
• Set and uphold engineering quality standards — testing, CI/CD, and release discipline.
• Champion an

  AI-first approach

  : identify, test, and roll out modern AI tools to improve code quality, documentation, sprint reporting, and overall velocity.
• Partner with Product, DevOps, and Customer Success to align priorities and ensure smooth execution.
• Report directly to the Director of Product, providing transparency on progress, risks, and resource needs.

What You’ll Bring

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years in an engineering leadership role.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-moving SaaS environment.
• Strong background in

  PHP/Laravel

  ; comfort with

  Node/React

  and cloud infrastructure (AWS, containers, CI/CD).
• A natural leader who builds trust, drives clarity, and empowers engineers.
• Passion for

  AI-driven development

  — from GitHub Copilot and Codeium to AI-based QA, planning, and observability tools.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Why Join Us

• Be part of an

  AI-first engineering culture

  where innovation is encouraged, not just talked about.
