About the role

The org's own posting, as written

Tech Lead / Engineering Manager At Fortune Media, we are reinventing how a storied brand, steeped in journalism and business, adapts to today’s digital-first world. The digital transformation of Fortune from a print magazine to a multi-channel media company is in full swing, and we want you to be a part of it. The Engineering team works on multiple digital properties at Fortune: from the editorial website, conferences, Fortune Recommends and others. Our goal is to launch new products to build on our core competencies of content, events and education, in order to diversify our revenue streams; and to improve the experience and monetization of existing properties.

Fortune Media is seeking a highly motivated and talented Tech Lead/Engineering Manager (Hybrid Role) to join our team. This exciting position offers a unique opportunity to combine strong hands-on technical expertise with leadership responsibilities, leading high-impact projects while simultaneously mentoring and developing a team of engineers. AI-Powered Development We are embracing AI to significantly increase our engineering team's productivity and to fundamentally change how we build applications.

You will use AI-powered tools such as Cursor and Claude to accelerate your work, enabling you to: Work faster across the Cursor ecosystem, including sub-agents, the CLI, MCP connectors, the integrated browser, connected enterprise applications, cloud agents, vulnerability scanning, and Bugbot. Build standalone prototypes, applications, and internal tools for engineering, editorial, conferences, and sales that raise productivity or drive revenue in days rather than weeks. Move quickly from design to functional code when prototyping new features.

Our goal is not incremental improvement but a step change in productivity, freeing engineers to spend more time on complex system design, business logic, and creative problem-solving. We expect you to stay at the forefront of AI-enabled development. We also expect strong non-technical skills: product and business understanding, analytical thinking, and a working grasp of design principles. We want engineers who partner seamlessly with product and design, and who can use AI tools to make sound product and design judgments when those resources are limited. This full skill set is what we are looking for, and we will coach and train you if you are interested in building it.

Senior and lead engineers are especially encouraged to grow in this area.

Responsibilities

As a Tech Lead / Engineering Manager, you will: Lead and mentor junior engineers: Guide and mentor junior team members on best practices, code quality, and professional development. Conduct performance reviews: Provide constructive feedback, set performance goals, and guide career development for team members.
