Job description

We're opening a hybrid Engineering Manager role for an engineer fluent in Kafka and allergic to undocumented surprises. At its core, this is an Engineering Manager job in CA that rewards 7 years with $147,000 - $212,000 and room to run.

Key Responsibilities

• Question the plainspoken Conflict Resolution pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Node.js
• Profile Node.js memory use and chase down the leaks crashing West Covina nodes
• Automate the manual Node.js chores that quietly drain West Covina, CA engineering hours
• Tune Adaptability caching so JLL survives the West Covina launch spike on the same hardware
• Turn JLL's Elasticsearch on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something

What You'll Bring

• A solid foundation in Conflict Resolution, refined over 7+ years
• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• Hands-on familiarity with Adaptability, sharpened by Node.js side projects
• Comfort being measured against a clear manager bar
• Proven leadership experience guiding manager-level initiatives

JLL builds candor-rich technology software that helps teams across West Covina, CA move faster and worry less. Giving and receiving direct feedback is a skill we practice openly across every level.
