Why this role

The Senior Manager, Software Engineering will lead the team responsible for pricing Evolve’s properties, predicting market demand, forecasting future returns for current and potential properties on the platform, and related systems. This team develops machine learning models that ingest billions of rows of data daily for inference and training, as well as the human-in-the-loop feedback systems that modify outputs and inform future model iterations. The role is highly technical, including responsibility for architecture, technical strategy, and communicating technical decisions across the organization, in addition to delivering critical systems. You will lead a distributed team of engineers focused on robust, high-performing, traceable, observable server-side systems in a fast-paced agile environment, collaborating with product, revenue management, and sales to plan migration and rollout strategies.

This role requires broad and deep experience with big data, high-throughput systems, API design, and developing critical integrations with third-party systems. Candidates must be comfortable leading strategy, planning iterative and incremental releases, and contributing tactically to design.

You will identify and drive resourcing needs, collaborate on technology and tool selections, and assign resources as needed to complete product requirements.

What you’ll do

• Lead all strategy, design, and implementation efforts related to pricing our portfolio of 30k+ properties nightly
• Oversee technical design and development of new features and capabilities in our pricing pipeline, including identifying, evaluating, and integrating new data sources and model updates to incorporate those sources
• Lead all strategy, design, and implementation efforts related to human feedback tools and developing feedback loops
• Recruit, lead and mentor an internal team of developers in a customer-obsessed, high-performance environment with a focus on end-to-end ownership, launching early and iterating quickly, and working from first principles
• Partner cross-functionally with Product and Commercial organizations including revenue management and sales to define roadmaps for improvements aligned with the product vision
• Work closely with the DevOps team to implement CI/CD processes that shorten the development life cycle and provide continuous delivery of high-quality software
• Establish coding standards and best practices
• Define and implement agile processes that drive engineering velocity and quality
• Guide technology and tool decisions as they relate to development

What makes you a great fit

• 5-8+ years of product development experience
• 3-5+ years of engineering management experience
• Experience designing, planning, and systems that process high volumes of data
• Experience designing and implementing machine learning models and data science approaches including feed-forward neural nets, complex exponential smoothing, and cosine similarity
• Desire to design and build world-class solutions
• Experience building commerce and pricing applications
• Experience in an agile or extreme programming environment
• Salesforce integration and/or development experience a plus
