Software Engineering Manager, General Platform

Radar•San Diego, WA

About The Position

As a Software Engineer Manager, you will lead the General Platform team, the full stack engineering group responsible for tenant and store onboarding and our core front end RADAR experience. This is a player-coach role leading an established team with full accountability from day one, and shaping how the team scales as our platform and customer base grow. The best leaders here are strong engineers first. You will be expected to engage deeply with architecture and technical direction, not just manage processes. We move fast, and you know how to hold a high quality bar without sacrificing velocity, along with the judgment to know when to push and when to slow down to get it right.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 2 years managing engineering teams of 5 or more direct reports.
Proven ability to remain technically hands on, contributing to design, architecture, and code review as a practicing engineer, not just an overseer.
Demonstrated experience owning full stack systems in production, including both backend platform services and front end applications.
Proficiency in at least one core language such as Java, Python, C++, or Go, and familiarity with modern front end frameworks.
Experience with onboarding, provisioning, or multi tenant platform systems.
Solid foundation in systems or cloud architecture, DevOps and SecOps practices, automation, and CI/CD pipelines.
Excellent communication, organizational, and people leadership skills, with experience influencing across engineering, product, and design.
Prior experience working at a startup or high growth company, with firsthand understanding of the pace, ambiguity, and tradeoffs that come with that stage.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience owning a customer facing front end platform alongside backend infrastructure.
Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and container orchestration.
Experience building or scaling multi tenant SaaS platforms.
Passion for mentoring, technical empowerment, and building an inclusive engineering culture.
