As Senior Engineering Manager, Growth Platform

- Drive integration and vendor decisions across the Mar Tech stack – evaluating tools, designing integrations, and ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable.
- Champion engineering excellence in reliability, scalability, code quality, testing, and continuous delivery, so Growth teams can move fast with confidence.
- 7+ years of engineering experience, including 3 to 5+ years in engineering management, leading high-performing teams delivering customer-facing or platform systems.
- Demonstrated growth impact: you’ve led teams whose work measurably improved conversion, retention, engagement, and/or LTV (ideally in subscription or consumer products).

- Experience with growth and marketing systems, such as SEM, ad platform integrations, attribution/tracking, experimentation frameworks, customer engagement platforms, CDPs, CMS/landing page systems, analytics instrumentation, or marketing APIs.
- Cross-functional leadership strength: you can align diverse stakeholders, set clear priorities, and execute in fast-paced environments.
- People-first leadership: proven ability to coach, develop, and retain strong engineers while fostering psychological safety and high standards.
