Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to provide people leadership, technical direction, and strategic oversight across a complex enterprise application portfolio. This role is ideal for a seasoned engineering leader who has grown through the engineering ranks, brings deep technical credibility, and thrives in environments that include legacy systems, vendor platforms, and long-term modernization initiatives.

The Engineering Manager will lead multiple product teams supporting mission-critical business capabilities, with a strong emphasis on team development, architectural decision-making, and modernization strategy. Success in this role requires balancing delivery, technology health, and long-term sustainability while operating within real-world enterprise constraints.

Key Responsibilities

* Foster psychological safety and a growth-oriented team environment.
Technical & Architectural Leadership

* Actively participate in architectural discussions and technical tradeoff decisions, including deep, hands-on conversations.
* Guide teams toward sound system-level and portfolio-level architecture decisions rather than isolated optimizations.

* Coach teams through complex modernization journeys, balancing business continuity with long-term transformation.
Delivery, Planning & Prioritization

* Partner closely with product, architecture, and DevOps teams to influence priorities without direct ownership.
* Drive effective prioritization, capacity planning, and delivery execution across constrained environments.
* Assess and balance technology health, delivery commitments, and long-term sustainability.
* Support roadmap planning aligned to multi-year strategic objectives and capital investment planning.
Vendor & Platform Leadership

* Guide teams through build vs. buy decisions and vendor platform tradeoffs.
* Support vendor selection, platform evaluation, and ongoing vendor relationships.
* Navigate constraints and dependencies inherent in third-party software ecosystems.
Team Scope

* Responsible for approximately five product teams.
* Direct leadership of engineers and scrum masters.
* Oversight of a blended team including full-time employees, long-term contractors, and burst-capacity resources.
