Engineering Project Manager

If you’re the person who sees a big project and thinks, “Give me a whiteboard and 30 minutes,” we should talk. We’re hiring an Engineering Project Manager to ensure clarity, structure, and momentum throughout our engineering work. This is an opportunity to step into a role where you don’t just track projects, you actively shape how work gets done. Smarty is a self-funded, profitable, and growing company that takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. We’re proud to have been recognized by the Salt Lake Tribune as a Top Workplace for four consecutive years.

This is an onsite, non-remote opening in Orem, UT.
