Manager, Software Engineering (App Experiences)

What We Look For

• You have 7+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing and growing engineering teams.
• You have proven experience delivering consumer-facing software and driving execution through ambiguity.
• You have the technical judgment required to guide architecture, quality, and reliability decisions, with the instinct to empower senior engineers to make the calls rather than making them all yourself.
• You have experience leading significant technical initiatives end-to-end, ideally decoupling or re-platforming consumer-facing systems within clear time constraints.
• You are familiar with modern full-stack development – declarative UI frameworks like React or React Native, and a backend-for-frontend behind them.
• You have a calm, decisive presence through change and ambiguity – building alignment, resolving tensions, and leading others through complex decisions.
• You are a humble, team-first leader who builds a high-trust, psychologically safe culture, while also prioritizing your own growth.
• You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to balance customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
• You exhibit exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and organizational influence skills.
• You have a proven ability to build alignment and drive outcomes in complex environments without direct authority.
• This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
