Job description

If you have used self-checkout at a major warehouse club, paid at a Fortune 500 big-box retailer, or shopped at a global grocery chain or apparel brand, you havelikely usedour software products. It is the retail commerce platform we build at TGCS, powering point of sale, mobile, self-service, and back-of-store operations for many of the world's largest retailers.

As a SoftwareEngineeringManageryou will:

• Comfort moving between the architectural level and the debugger, and between an executive review and a sprint standup,inthe same day.
• A track recordof leading through ambiguity, owning a missed commitment without deflection, and recovering from a production incident.
• Excellent written and verbal communication. You write tight status updates, run focused meetings, and present executive-ready tradeoffs.
• Direct, low ego, honest. You disagree clearly, commit cleanly, and tell people the truth.

Highly Preferred:

• Familiarity with our stack: Java/Spring Boot, Node.js/TypeScript, Docker, Kubernetes on Azure AKS, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, MongoDB.
• Experience leading distributed or multi-site teams.

How We Work

Three principles drive how we run engineering. They are also the best preview of what working here will feel like.

• Engineering owns delivery. The vertical chain (VP, Senior Director, Director, EM, Engineers) owns outcomes. There is no PMO running our schedules. Accountability follows control.
• Horizontal teams scale us, not own us. You willownend-to-enddelivery.Technical Program Managers, Quality, DevOps, and Principal Engineers coordinate, automate, architect, and unblock. They support delivery; they do not own it.
• AI removes overhead, not accountability.We invest heavily in agentic tooling for status, risk detection, test generation, and reporting. The goal is to reduce the coordination tax on engineers and managers.

You will not be handing off status to a project manager, hand-walking aProject Management Office through a milestoneplanorwaiting for aTechnical Program Managerto tell you what your team is building. You drive theplan, you call the risks, you ship the product.
