Responsibilities - Senior Engineering Manager

As the Senior Software Engineering Manager, you will lead and scale the software engineering team (now 8 FTE, this will grow in the future). You will improve the technical foundation, culture, and practices required to deploy top-tier software efficiently. Reporting directly to the Director Digital, this is a hands-on leadership role where you will drive architecture, participate in code reviews, and steer critical technical decisions.

A core focus of this position will be pioneering AI-assisted development practices to accelerate team velocity and elevate code quality.

• Modernize Engineering Practices: Drive a cultural and technical shift by introducing AI-assisted development, modern tooling, and agile engineering practices to optimize daily delivery.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner as a key peer alongside Digital Product Management and UX Design to ensure engineering, design, and product strategies are deeply integrated.
• Hardware-Software Integration: Engage early with Hardware Engineering teams to influence connectivity and interaction decisions upstream, ensuring seamless digital execution downstream before hardware specs are locked.
• Ecosystem & Infrastructure: Collaborate with Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), Marketing, and central IT/Data teams to build shared frameworks, platform efficiencies, and cohesive omni-channel user experiences.
• Technical Governance: Maintain a strong stance on data architecture, security, and scalability. Establish clear engineering standards for application performance, reliability, and automated testing.
