Job description

Описание: Come join a company who is a key leader in the industry scaling the next core commerce infrastructure and on the path from $100M to $500M! Founded in 2012, Salsify helps brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in over 80 countries collaborate to win on the digital shelf. As the market leader globally, our products are shopper-centric, frictionless, and create memorable commerce experiences. Our products provide a competitive edge through experiences that improve brand trust, amplify product differentiation and assortments, increase conversion rate, improve profit margins, and speed time to market. Learn how the world’s largest brands, including Mars, L'Oreal, Coca-Cola, Bosch, and GSK, as well as retailers and distributors such as E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Metro, and Intermarché use Salsify everyday to stand out on the digital shelf. At Salsify, we strive to embody an equitable, diverse, and inclusive company culture. We are united across countries, levels, tenures, and a host of other dimensions of diversity. We understand that while work is just one aspect of who we are, a truly inclusive culture accounts for the full authenticity of every single human being that works here. Salsify is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to join our Engineering group to lead an established, high-performing team focused on building products and capabilities that drive customer satisfaction, product-led growth, and business expansion.

In this role, you’ll have a visible impact on both customer value and business outcomes by leading the development of features that meaningfully shape how customers experience the Salsify platform. You’ll bring a strong technical foundation alongside a passion for people leadership, cultivating a highly collaborative environment where engineers can do their best work, grow their careers, and partner effectively with Product Management and User Experience partners. This is an excellent opportunity for a thoughtful, proactive, hands‑on leader to continue growing both their technical depth and leadership impact while partnering with talented, growth‑minded engineers.

Задачи:

• People Leadership & Growth
• Build and sustain a supportive, high-performance team culture
• Lead the growth and professional development of a team of talented engineers
• Provide regular feedback, coaching, mentorship, and career guidance
• Foster an environment grounded in trust, accountability, and continuous learning
• Product Strategy & Execution
• Partner closely with Product Management, User Experience, and engineers to define technical vision and roadmap for a portfolio of products and capabilities
• Ensure the team has clear direction and context to deliver impactful solutions
• Guide the design of sound, scalable systems that support both current needs and future growth
• Own delivery excellence for the team’s roadmap commitments
• Operational Excellence & Engineering Best Practices
• Ensure the stability, performance, and reliability of the systems developed by your team
• Promote and uphold modern engineering best practices, including code quality, testing, observability, and architectural standards
• Champion the thoughtful adoption of new technologies, including AI, to improve developer efficiency and software quality

Требования:

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as computer science, computer engineering, or a related field
• ~7 years of hands‑on coding/product delivery experience (this is not a hands‑on role, but we feel that this background is essential due to the nature of the team), with command of one or more server‑side languages (Python) and one or more JavaScript libraries/frameworks (React and Ember preferred)
• 3+ years of engineering management experience with a team of ~8 or more engineers, providing mentorship, regular feedback, and career development (bonus if you’ve managed a distributed, remote‑first team)
• Strong communication abilities, capable of articulating complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences, including stakeholders in Product and UX.
• Experience maintaining legacy systems and working in a “Keeping the lights on” environment.
• Experience designing scalable systems following architecture best practices
• Familiarity with high‑performance, high‑throughput, microservices‑based applications
• Experience with modern build and testing tools, and Agile methodology
• Proven ability to excel and drive results in a high‑growth and fast‑paced environment
• Fluency in English.
• Extra points if French is a second language.
