ABOUT THE ROLE [100% remote. May require onsite interviews] Join us in shaping the future of Automotive Commerce. Our Platform Core Services team is on a transformation journey, building innovative services and redefining how we deliver value to our customers. As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will help revitalize our customer-facing tooling across our platform with a comprehensive technical strategy to simplify and amplify these user experiences and the capabilities they enable. This is an exceptional opportunity to influence the future of our platform and drive meaningful change at scale to make an impact within the automotive industry. Cars Commerce is unifying the car-buying journey on a single, data-driven platform, and Core Services supplies the identity, inventory, lead-delivery and data-streaming capabilities on which every brand in our portfolio relies. As a Senior Engineering Manager, you'll guide an autonomous team that owns several high-throughput, API-first services and an end-user web application that serves our dealer customers. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Product leadership to turn quarterly and yearly business goals into an incremental, measurable roadmap; champion sound engineering practices around observability, security, modular architecture, and on-call health; and serve as incident commander and steward of production reliability for your domain. Beyond your immediate team, you'll influence both backend platform architecture and front-end component strategy, shape cross-domain integrations that unlock new revenue streams, and help set the technical direction for the wider organization. ABOUT YOU You’re an empathetic, outcomes-oriented leader who drives solutions and balances people, process and product. Perhaps you’ve shipped high-scale solutions handling thousands of requests per second, mentored senior engineers and first-time managers, or negotiated scope changes without losing sight of customer value—but you still see yourself as a lifelong learner who uses data rather than dogma to improve. As a Senior Engineering Manager, you cultivate psychological safety, celebrate diverse viewpoints and believe that the best ideas can come from anywhere. Even if Elixir, TypeScript, or automotive retail isn’t already on your résumé, your curiosity, bias for action, and commitment to inclusive leadership matter more than a perfect skills match—so if the mission excites you, we encourage you to apply. WHY YOU'LL BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS ROLE This opportunity enables you to... Lead full-stack delivery: Direct one or more teams that own several backend services and front-end applications; own the end-to-end delivery of the domain roadmap; set clear objectives, groom several sprints of backlog, and hold the bar on Jira hygiene and velocity transparency. Drive product road-mapping & prioritization: Serve as a strategic partner to Product Managers to translate business goals into measurable milestones and customer outcomes; balance new feature work with technical debt and platform investments. Coach, develop, and scale talent: Provide frequent 1-1s, actionable feedback, and growth plans for senior engineers and leads; mentor emerging managers as the org expands; cultivate a diverse, inclusive culture of psychological safety and continuous learning. Steward production reliability & security: Own SLOs, on-call rotations, incident command, and post-mortem learning; ensure adherence to security and compliance maintenance guidelines and vulnerability-remediation SLAs. Operational excellence through metrics: Use a data-driven approach to continuous improvement, monitoring DORA, change-failure rate, incident MTTR, and CapEx accuracy; initiate improvement plans when trends deviate from targets. Architectural guidance & modernization: Review designs for extensibility, backwards compatibility, and cost efficiency (backend); guide the technical strategy for reusable components, modular architecture, and developer ergonomics (frontend); promote modern practices in CI/CD, observability, and DevSecOps across all owned systems. Cross-functional influence: Coordinate integrations with adjacent domains, negotiate timelines and API contracts, and represent Core Services in company-wide program reviews. Hiring & org shaping: Partner with Talent Acquisition to build a diverse pipeline, run structured interviews, and make evidence-based hiring decisions; forecast head-count needs as product scope grows. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT YOU BECAUSE... Your Experience: 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years leading engineers; proven track record shipping and operating business-critical backend services and front-end web applications at scale. Your Technical depth: Strong background in cloud-native architectures (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes/EKS), event-driven and API-driven systems; understanding of component libraries, modular front-end systems; comfortable reviewing designs for scalability, resilience, and cost. Your Delivery Mastery: Demonstrated ability to plan, forecast capacity, and use Jira, DORA, and DX metrics to drive predictable outcomes and continuous improvement. Your Leadership & People Development: Skilled at coaching senior/staff engineers, giving direct and constructive feedback, resolving conflict, and fostering an inclusive, high-trust culture aligned with company values. Your Product partnership: Comfortable co-authoring OKRs, making scope/risk trade-offs, and communicating decisions to executives and cross-functional stakeholders. Your Security & Reliability Mindset: Familiar with incident management best practices, observability stacks (DataDog), vulnerability remediation, and DevSecOps pipelines. Your Communication Excellence: Able to tailor technical and non-technical narratives to engineers, product managers, and executives alike; proven record of influencing beyond direct authority. Bonus points: Experience with Elixir/Phoenix and/or TypeScript/Deno/Next.JS technology stacks. Let’s Explore!
