About The Position

Stitch Fix is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead its Mobile Experience & Platform team of approximately 12 engineers. The team develops native iOS experiences, maintains the Android application, and builds shared mobile foundations that support client experiences. The Android application primarily presents web-based experiences in a native wrapper, with a focus on maintenance, reliability, and operational health.

This role combines people leadership, platform strategy, and shared product leadership. The manager will help skilled, autonomous mobile engineers work effectively across product teams by providing clarity, alignment, and organizational structure. The role includes developing the mobile roadmap, shaping product strategy in the absence of a dedicated Mobile Product Manager, coordinating engineering capacity across initiatives, and maintaining reliable and sustainable mobile platforms.

The manager will partner with Engineering, Product, Design, Algorithms, and other stakeholders; establish lightweight processes for prioritization, capacity planning, and portfolio visibility; and champion practical AI adoption in engineering workflows. The team is distributed across the United States and uses tools including GitHub, Slack, and Zoom.
