This role reports directly to the Director of Engineering for Gig Ops Fulfillment and is responsible for leading 10+ engineers across mobile frontend and backend disciplines.\r\nThis leader oversees one or more agile software development squads, driving long-term technical strategy, engineering excellence, delivery predictability, and team health across diverse experiences and capabilities. Compared to the Engineering Manager role, the Senior Engineering Manager operates with broader ownership, deeper architectural influence, higher cross-functional visibility, a wider breadth of stakeholders, and increased responsibility for scaling teams, managing complex initiatives, and shaping engineering culture.\r\nSenior Engineering Managers collaborate with Staff & Principal Engineers, Product Managers, UX Designers & Managers, Data Scientists, Operations Managers, and partner engineering teams to execute against multi-quarter roadmaps, strengthen engineering fundamentals, develop talent to meet engineering expectations of the next level, remove organizational bottlenecks, and guide engineers through ambiguity with clarity and strategic direction.\r\nThis is a high-impact role that requires strong technical depth, exceptional leadership maturity, strategic decision-making, and the ability to steward tech assets and engineering teams through modernization and AI-driven transformation.\r\nWhat You'll Need to Be Successful\r\nStrategic Technical Leadership\r\nLead and influence architectural direction across frontend (React Native) and backend (Golang microservices, Kafka, Google Cloud Platform, backend-for-frontend, vendor integrations) domains.\r\nPartner with Engineering, Product, UX, Data Science, and Operations leaders to define multi-quarter modernization plans, system migrations, quality bars, and domain boundaries.\r\nEnsure teams consistently adopt modern practices (architectural patterns, observability, performance optimization, AI-assisted development).\r\nOversee the technical strategy for your areas of responsibility, ensuring alignment with Shipt- or department-wide architectural principles and long-term company goals.\r\nDrive cross-team technical initiatives that improve stability, reliability, and operational excellence.\r\nCross-Discipline Leadership\r\nOwn delivery for frontend experiences and backend capabilities, ensuring predictable execution against roadmaps, OKRs, and quarterly commitments.\r\nLead technical planning cycles — capacity planning, dependency mapping, long-range planning, and risk mitigation.\r\nDrive resolution for complex cross-functional blockers, escalating when necessary.\r\nEstablish processes that improve productivity, throughput, rollout safety, code quality, and release cadence.\r\nEnsure high operational readiness across all owned services — SLOs, observability instrumentation, dashboards, runbooks, on-call rotations, and alert tuning.\r\nPeople Leadership & Organizational Scaling\r\nManage 10+ engineers across disciplines and levels.\r\nGuide career development through structured mentorship, progression frameworks, and personalized growth plans to meet and exceed engineering expectations.\r\nEstablish high talent density through strong hiring, rigorous performance management, and mentorship programs.\r\nScale and size teams sustainably, anticipating skill gaps, capacity needs, and future organizational structures.\r\nBuild and reinforce a culture of high accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement toward the demonstration of Shipt Values.\r\nCross-Functional Stakeholder Management & Influence\r\nServe as the primary engineering partner to Product, UX, Data Science, and Operations for your areas of responsibility.\r\nTranslate product strategy, internal customer needs, and business outcomes into technical direction and execution plans.\r\nInfluence prioritization and sequencing decisions through strong technical judgment and data-driven reasoning.\r\nBuild strong relationships with internal stakeholders across Gig Ops, Marketplace, Partner Engineering, Infrastructure, Fraud, Compliance, and Data Science.\r\nCommunicate progress, risks, blockers, trade-offs, and decisions — early, clearly, and often — to leaders and partners.\r\nEngineering Excellence & Continuous Improvement\r\nChampion AI-assisted engineering practices — expanding use of Copilot, Gemini, automated test agents, refactoring agents, and intelligent developer workflows.\r\nImprove engineering fundamentals across code quality, testing maturity, observability, scalability, and architectural hygiene.\r\nEstablish and continuously improve product team working agreements drawing from expertise and experience with multiple agile software development methodologies.\r\nLead agile ceremonies (e.g., sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, demos, retrospectives).\r\nLead post-incident reviews and systemic corrective action initiatives across multiple teams.\r\nEstablish and drive engineering metrics (DORA, quality KPIs, incident metrics, velocity, cycle times).\r\nPromote a culture that values learning, experimentation, craftsmanship, and psychological safety.\r\nCandidate Profile\r\nQualifications\r\nBachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.\r\n7+ years of professional engineering experience, preferably building customer-facing or critical real-time systems.\r\n2+ years of formal engineering people leadership, including managing multiple engineers or teams.\r\nProven experience designing and delivering distributed, high-availability, scalable systems.\r\nTechnical Leadership Proficiencies\r\nFullstack Mobile Engineering Expertise\r\nAbility to guide engineers across multiple disciplines: frontend (React Native) and backend (Golang, REST APIs, Kafka, Postgres, Redis, scaling and resiliency patterns).\r\nArchitecture, Systems, & Modernization\r\nUnderstanding of large-scale system design, domain-driven architecture, event modeling, and service contracts.\r\nExperience guiding modernization efforts — service decomposition, platform / vendor migrations, performance rewrites, observability upgrades.\r\nEngineering Metrics & Operational Maturity\r\nStrong fluency in SLOs/SLIs, incident management, root cause analysis, and reliability frameworks.\r\nExperience using engineering metrics to guide team-level continuous improvement.\r\nStakeholder Management & Business Alignment\r\nUnderstanding of last-mile delivery fulfillment and gig work with independent contractors.\r\nAbility to align engineering roadmaps with business OKRs, customer outcomes, and long-term strategy.\r\nTeam Scaling & Resource Planning\r\nProven ability to scale engineering teams, including capacity planning, performance management, and leveling strategies.\r\nExperience in headcount planning, budgeting inputs, and strategic forecasting.\r\nFamiliarity with agile software development methodologies.\r\nLeadership

Rally, Positivity, Authenticity, and Caring.\r\nAI-Forward Leader: Encourages responsible adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices appropriate to engineering level and helps position Shipt for AI-native development.\r\nCourageous & Principled: Makes difficult decisions when needed, prioritizes ruthlessly, and knows how to pragmatically decide when to ship, when to \"do it right,\" and when to pay down tech debt.\r\nPay Range\r\n$140,000 - $251,200 (salary range is a guideline; total compensation varies based on qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location).\r\nSkills &
