Engineering Coach – Director/VP

Job Description: • Providing 1:1 coaching to Mento members through virtual sessions using the Mento Platform and Tools. • Participating in ongoing training sessions to improve coaching abilities and skills. • Communicating with members via your Mento email or via chat in the Mento App in between sessions. • Being an integral member of the Mento coaching community by sharing coaching tools and insights — helping enhance our coaching practices and fulfill our mission of empowering people to thrive in jobs that they love. • Acting with kindness, respect, and empathy as an ambassador of the Mento community. Requirements: • A director, vice president, or other senior software engineering leader with 15+ years experience managing engineering teams and coaching individuals. • Deep engineering leadership experience carries significant weight — coaching certifications are valued but not required. • You have navigated the dynamic of carrying meaningful technical responsibilities while managing a team — and understand what it takes to delegate, prioritize, and lead through others without losing your technical edge. • You have experience leading engineering teams through hypergrowth, rapid organizational change, or the transition from startup to scale — including building functions from scratch and hiring into ambiguity. • You understand how to influence and build credibility across organizational boundaries — working with product, GTM, and executive stakeholders — and can help engineering leaders develop visibility and impact beyond their immediate teams. • Background in AI/ML engineering organizations, infrastructure, security engineering, or developer platforms is a strong plus. • Someone who wants to turn their people leadership skills into meaningful coaching skills. • Passionate about helping people advance in the workplace to build fulfilling careers and lives. • A person who is self aware, who has a high emotional IQ, and who cares about creating a safe space for others to risk being vulnerable. • Excited about growing your coaching skills, and you bring a growth-mindset to the experience, regardless of how long you have been a coach. • Comfortable working in a constantly-changing startup environment. • Able to dedicate a minimum of 12+ hours per month to coaching at Mento for the next 24+ months. • Prior experience at technology companies a plus. Benefits: • This is a contract position in which coaches are paid per hour. • On top of a flat hourly rate, we offer select bonuses that incentivizes engagement with our membership and community growth on our platform. • You must have the capacity to give a minimum of three to five hours per week towards Mento regardless of other commitments and how they may change. • You are able to work with Mento for a minimum of 24 months in order to build meaningful relationships with our members. • This is a fully remote position. Candidates must be based in North America or Europe. • Because this is a part-time growth opportunity, we are looking to hire experienced senior leaders who want to expand their coaching skills.
