About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Software Engineering to lead multiple engineering teams and shape how we build and ship software. This is a role for a hands-on leader who loves turning strategy into execution, building high-trust teams, and seeing their work make a real difference. You’ll own how work gets delivered - improving predictability, release quality, and engineering efficiency - while coaching and developing engineers to do the best work of their careers. You’ll have the autonomy to raise the bar, the support to make meaningful changes, and the visibility to see your impact across the company. If you’re excited by solving complex delivery problems, growing strong leaders, and building systems that help teams move faster, this is a place where your leadership will matter.

Occasionally partner with engineers to unblock complex problems while staying focused on team-level performance.
Provide leadership across a modern stack that includes React, .NET, and a growing Python ecosystem.
