Hi, we’re TechnologyAdvice.

At TechnologyAdvice, we pride ourselves on helping B2B tech buyers manage the complexity and risk of the buying process. We are a trusted source of information for tech buyers, delivering advice and facilitating connections between our buyers and the world’s leading sellers of business technology.

Established in 2006 out of our founder’s dorm room, we continue to expand our business. In 2021 we acquired TechRepublic, and in 2020, we acquired QuinStreet B2B, both leading resources for IT and business decision makers. These critical acquisitions included global teams of dynamic technology and media professionals to enhance our presences in the US, the UK, Singapore, and Australia. We now have more than 20 digital media brands and over 500 global team members, representing 12 languages.

Listed on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies four times and a five-time recipient of the annual Tennessee Top Workplaces awards, we take both our growth and employee engagement seriously. We work hard each day, but we know how to have fun, too, with monthly virtual events, recreational slack channels, and the occasional costumed dance from our CEO.

The Opportunity…

As the Engineering Manager, you are a leader that is comfortable managing a WordPress development environment, a team’s activities, coaching direct reports, and collaborating with internal business customers as we develop and enhance the technologies that support our portfolio of 20+ websites with more than 10 million monthly visitors. TechnologyAdvice is a fast paced company that is growing quickly and we are looking for someone that will help to take our portfolio to the next level. As a master of both technology and leading people, you will help define and execute on a path to success.

There are enormous opportunities to create technology that will have a massive impact on the business. We currently utilize AWS, Cloudflare, WordPress, off the shelf and custom plugins, Google Analytics, and Google Ad Manager as the foundation for our websites while constantly evaluating ways to make our solution even more compelling. Far beyond our web presence, our traffic and resulting information provides invaluable insights throughout the other products and offerings at TechnologyAdvice. You will report to the Vice President of Technology.
