We’re improving access to quality healthcare for everyone, everywhere, and improving access to healthcare careers for those who need them most.
Our Values:
We credit much of our success to our exceptional team. We’re looking for mission-driven builders who thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, and embody our four core values:
Care first: We do whatever it takes for our students to succeed.
Learn quickly: We test, learn with data, and iterate.
Build together: We win when we rely on each other.
Own it: We show up, take initiative, and show pride.
The Opportunity:
As an Engineering Manager at Stepful, you’ll lead a team of Product Engineers building the end-to-end experiences that help our students succeed—from enrollment and program completion to landing their first healthcare job. This is a hands-on management role where you will stay close to the codebase (roughly 20% of your time) while shaping what we build and leading engineers to do the best work of their careers.
What You’ll Do:
Team Leadership & Development:
- Lead your team to deliver impactful outcomes at a sustainable pace—removing blockers, improving processes, and driving continuous improvement.
- Develop engineers through regular feedback, personalized development plans, and opportunity matching.
- Foster a high-trust, psychologically safe team culture grounded in Stepful’s mission and values.
- Recruit, interview, and onboard new engineers to scale our builder culture.
Product Delivery & Collaboration:
- Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Operations to shape discovery and ensure we are building the right things at the right time.
- Communicate clearly with stakeholders, setting expectations upfront and following through on delivery commitments.
- Balance competing priorities with a bias for action and clear decision-making.
Technical Excellence (Hands-on):
- Contribute roughly 20% of your time to the codebase through code reviews, architecture design, documentation, and individual contributions.
- Uphold high engineering quality and guide system evolution through technical roadmapping and leading by example.
- Oversee projects across our core pillars: Learning Experience (adaptive learning/AI feedback), Careers (ranking algorithms and partner matching), and Human Connection (LLM-driven internal tools).
What You’ll Bring:
- 2+ years of direct experience managing software engineers.
- 6+ years of experience building software products, with a strong full-stack engineering background.
- A "builder" mentality—you are eager to go deep in code reviews, ask technical questions, and stay involved in architecture.
- Proven experience partnering with Product and Design teams through the full discovery, planning, and execution lifecycle.
- A genuine love for developing others and seeing engineers grow in their careers.
Bonus Points If:
- You have experience at a high-growth startup (B2C, B2B2C, EdTech, or HealthTech).
- You have a track record of improving engineering systems (CI/CD, developer experience, velocity).
- You have experience building and maintaining happy, high-performing engineering teams during periods of rapid scale.
Benefits And Compensation:
- Subsidized Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plan options
- 401(k)
- FSA, HSA and commuter benefits
- Open vacation policy, including:
+ Guidance of 15 days PTO annually
+ Stepful closed the last week of December
+ 15 work-from-anywhere days
+ 10 public holidays observed for 2026
New Hire Base Salary Bands:
Engineering Manager - $172,000-$218,000
Senior Manager - $188,000-$238,000

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager
Frame your training plan around measurable outcomes
Your DS-2019 requires a structured training plan tied to specific skills and timelines. Document the technical marketing competencies you'll develop, such as product positioning frameworks, competitive analysis methods, and go-to-market execution, so the designated sponsor can approve it.
Distinguish Trainee from Specialist before applying
If you hold a degree and have under five years of experience, the Trainee category applies. Seasoned professionals with deep technical product marketing expertise often qualify under Specialist, which requires demonstrable recognition in your field, not just tenure.
Target host employers with existing sponsor relationships
Many tech companies have worked with designated sponsors like Cultural Vistas or AIPT before. Asking during interviews whether they've hosted J-1 trainees previously tells you whether an internal process already exists, which shortens your path to a DS-2019 significantly.
Use Migrate Mate to find J-1-aligned roles
Searching broadly for product marketing roles wastes time if the employer has never hosted a J-1 exchange visitor. Migrate Mate filters for U.S. employers and positions that align with J-1 sponsorship, so your outreach targets companies already open to the process.
Check whether your home country triggers the two-year rule
The home-country physical presence requirement applies if your country appears on the Exchange Visitor Skills List or if your program is government-funded. Confirm your status with your designated sponsor before accepting an offer, since this affects your ability to change visa status later.
Align your offer letter language with DOL program standards
Your host employer's offer letter must describe supervisory structure, training objectives, and evaluation intervals in terms the designated sponsor can map to DOL program requirements. Vague language like 'marketing support' will delay or block DS-2019 issuance.

Find Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager JobsSenior Technical Product Marketing Manager J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager role?
Most professionals at this level apply under the Trainee or Specialist category. Trainee suits candidates within five years of graduating who want structured U.S. work experience in technical marketing disciplines. Specialist applies to experienced practitioners recognized for expertise in a specific field, such as B2B product positioning or developer go-to-market strategy, who don't fit the degree-plus-recent-graduation profile.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa, the employer or someone else?
The visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, not the hiring company. Organizations like Cultural Vistas, AIPT, or IIE issue the DS-2019 form and administer compliance throughout your program. Your hiring company serves as the host employer and agrees to the training plan, but it does not sponsor your visa directly the way an employer would with an H-1B.
How do I find U.S. employers open to hosting a J-1 exchange visitor in a senior marketing role?
Most job listings don't advertise J-1 host status, so filtering manually is slow and unreliable. Migrate Mate identifies U.S. employers and roles aligned with J-1 sponsorship, which is a faster way to focus your search on companies already open to hosting exchange visitors. From there, confirm the employer's willingness during early conversations before investing in interviews.
Does the home-country physical presence requirement affect Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager placements?
It can. The two-year home residency requirement applies if your home country is on the Exchange Visitor Skills List, if your program receives U.S. or home-government funding, or if you're a medical graduate. This requirement bars you from changing to H-1B or certain immigrant statuses without first returning home or obtaining a waiver. Confirm your situation with your designated sponsor before signing an offer.
What does the training plan need to include for a technical product marketing role?
The designated sponsor requires a detailed training plan that specifies learning objectives, supervisory oversight, scheduled evaluations, and the skills you'll gain. For a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager, that means articulating specific outcomes such as mastery of competitive intelligence methods, product launch frameworks, or technical content strategy, tied to measurable milestones rather than general job duties.
