Senior Engineering Manager

Role Summary

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead multiple engineering teams while shaping the technical direction of a major product area.

This role combines organizational leadership with deep technical judgment. You'll influence architecture, grow future engineering leaders, and drive execution across several teams.

This is not a pure management role. We expect Senior Engineering Managers to understand systems deeply enough to participate in architecture reviews, challenge technical decisions, and help teams navigate ambiguity.

Responsibilities

  • Lead multiple engineering teams across a product area.

  • Develop Engineering Managers and technical leaders.

  • Drive execution across large cross-functional initiatives.

  • Define engineering strategy aligned with company goals.

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, Data Science, and executive leadership.

  • Improve engineering processes without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.

  • Ensure engineering investments align with long-term platform strategy.

  • Drive architectural consistency across teams.

  • Own organizational planning, staffing, hiring, and succession planning.

  • Create an environment where engineers can do their best work.

Qualifications

Required

  • 10+ years software engineering experience.

  • 5+ years engineering management experience.

  • Experience managing managers or multiple engineering teams.

  • Strong background building large distributed systems.

  • Demonstrated technical leadership across complex organizations.

  • Proven ability to execute large, cross-functional programs.

  • Excellent communication and organizational leadership.

Preferred

  • Experience in marketplaces, search, advertising, or machine learning.

  • Experience scaling engineering organizations.

  • Experience leading organizational change.

  • Experience building high-performing engineering cultures.
