Engineering Manager at Duetto

<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is a player-coach engineering management role with real scope — you'll lead a team of full-stack engineers, own their delivery and development, and drive Duetto's AI-augmented engineering standards in a team where the generate-and-review model is already how work gets done. You'll be close enough to the technical work to review code and guide solution design, and senior enough to run agile ceremonies, manage stakeholders across time zones, and shape how your team grows. If you're a technically grounded engineering leader who's energised by building high-performing teams through a period of genuine transformation, this is the role.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What Makes Us Different?</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Duetto is the hospitality industry's leading revenue management platform, founded in 2012 by former Wynn Resorts executives who knew the industry needed better technology. We built the world's first Revenue &amp; Profit Operating System — a suite of tools (GameChanger, ScoreBoard, BlockBuster, Advance and more) that goes beyond room pricing to give hotels, resorts and casinos a complete picture of their revenue and profitability. Trusted by clients ranging from independent boutique hotels to global chains, we've been named the #1 Revenue Management Software by HotelTechAwards four years running and the #1 Best Place to Work in Hotel Tech in 2025. Backed by GrowthCurve Capital since 2024, we're accelerating our investment in AI — and we're genuinely passionate about the industry we serve. We build products we're proud of, for customers we care about.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What You'll Be Doing</strong></p> <ul
