Senior Software Engineering Manager

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineering Manager to lead a broad portfolio of engineering work spanning strategic partner platform capabilities and shared device platform domains. This is a senior-level engineering leadership role with broad scope across two distinct but highly connected areas of responsibility. You will balance parallel workstreams across partner-facing platform delivery and internal shared-platform evolution, helping align priorities, staffing, execution, and technical direction across adjacent domains. You will manage software engineers across a varied experience spectrum. Success in this role requires strong people leadership, technical fluency, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to operate effectively across ambiguity. You will work closely with Architects, Technical Program Managers, Product Managers, QE, Ops, and peer engineering leaders to deliver reliable systems, strengthen engineering practices, and build team structures and operating rhythms that can scale with the organization’s growth.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • 10+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience leading engineering teams. • Experience managing backend or platform-oriented software engineers across multiple workstreams, priorities, or domains. • Demonstrated success supporting engineers across a wide range of experience levels, including newer engineers and experienced technical leaders. • Strong technical foundation in backend or platform engineering, including APIs, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures. Experience driving delivery and organizational coordination across Product, Architecture, QE, Operations, and other engineering teams. Experience establishing or improving engineering processes related to planning, execution, reliability, and operational readiness. • Demonstrated ability to use sound judgment with AI-assisted workflows and to hold teams to clear standards for validation, review quality, and responsible usage. • Experience leading teams responsible for partner-facing platforms, external integrations, or shared internal platform capabilities. Experience with device-oriented systems, IoT platforms, lifecycle management domains, or integration-heavy backend architectures. Experience in organizations moving from monolithic systems toward domain-aligned, independently deployable services. • Familiarity with observability practices, incident management, support models, and production operations at scale. Experience helping define reusable platform patterns, standards, or operating models used across multiple teams. • Experience incorporating AI-assisted development into engineering team workflows, including validation practices, team norms, and review standards.
