As the Engineering Manager for the Autofill and Desktop Native teams at Bitwarden, you will lead two teams of talented engineers responsible for some of the most user-facing and technically demanding parts of our product. The Autofill team owns browser autofill and form detection, including the inline menu, context menu, in-browser notifications, and passkey prompts in the browser extension. The Desktop Native team owns desktop autofill and native OS integrations including the SSH agent, Autotype, native passkeys, and the DuckDuckGo integration.
These are high-visibility, high-complexity areas. Autofill must work reliably across an enormous variety of websites built with wildly different markup and form patterns, while maintaining the strict security boundaries required when handling sensitive credential data. Your engineers work at the intersection of browser security, DOM behavior, OS-level APIs, and cross-platform native development, and when something doesn't work, your users notice immediately. This role requires a manager who can hold technical complexity in one hand and customer empathy in the other.
Both teams are part of the Feature Engineering group. You will report to the Feature Group Lead.
This is an all-remote team and we are looking for someone located in the U.S. We do not offer visa sponsorship at this time.

Yes. Bitwarden is a fully distributed, all-remote company. Team members work from home across many US states and more than 14 countries, with no in-office requirement.
Roles are region-scoped rather than open worldwide. Bitwarden posts positions for the US, the United Kingdom, and the broader EMEA region. US roles have no time-zone preference but do not include visa sponsorship, so you need to already be authorized to work in the role's region.
Benefits include a company-provided computer plus up to $500 in home office reimbursement, 401(k) contributions, 20 days of flexible time off with 11 flexible holidays (an extra week of vacation kicks in after four years), and $500 a year for skill development. In the US, medical, dental, and vision premiums are covered; internationally, benefits are calculated into pay.
For US roles, yes. Bitwarden discloses a base salary range on individual job postings, noting actual pay varies by level, experience, and location. Compensation outside the US is not published on postings because it differs by market.
People who value working in the open. Because the codebase is open source and development is community-driven, Bitwarden suits engineers and other roles comfortable with public scrutiny, security-first thinking, and self-directed work on a distributed team that spans time zones.
