Key skills for this role
DAT is hiring an Engineering Manager to join Broker Tech, the org building the automation layer that lets brokers price, match, onboard, book, track, and settle freight with far less manual effort — while keeping brokers in control of the decisions that matter most to their business. We're steadily automating the core of the marketplace so brokers can dial up automation at their own pace, shifting their time from chasing one-off spot wins toward managing the relationships they're uniquely good at.
This req will land on one of two pods, depending on org needs at time of hire: Network Management (the trust layer that lets brokers research, qualify, onboard, and monitor carriers) or Broker Success (the orchestration layer behind broker web and posting automation). You'll lead 1–2 engineering teams — a mix of full-time US-based staff and contractor engineers — and own delivery for your team's systems end to end.
Own Delivery: Run sprint planning, backlog refinement, and delivery forecasting for your team(s); hold the team accountable to commitments while managing scope responsibly.
Lead the People Side: Run 1:1s, set clear performance expectations, write development-focused reviews, and build individualized growth plans for your FTE staff. Recruit, interview, and hire.
Oversee Contractor Teams: Hold contractor engineers to the same delivery and quality bar as FTE staff.
Weigh In on Architecture: Provide guidance on design and implementation approach for your team's systems; flag technical and cross-team dependencies before they become blockers.
Uphold the Bar: Monitor your team's adherence to DAT Engineering standards and practices; flag gaps and recommend refinements.
Partner Across the Org: Work with Product Management to translate roadmap priorities into shipped work. Remove impediments proactively; escalate to your director before it's a fire, not after.
