You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and other teams to shape the future of our platform, while scaling engineering efforts and optimizing development processes to meet the growing needs of the business.

This position reports to the Senior Director of Engineering and can be fully remote from any of the U.S. states where IPSY hires (Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington).

Be deeply involved in system architecture and design decisions, ensuring our solutions are scalable, future-proof, and aligned with business goals.
• Ensure Engineering Excellence: Oversee the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and reliable software that aligns with business goals. Guide your team through complex technical challenges and help prioritize high-impact projects.
• Process Improvement: Identify and implement improvements to engineering processes, including code quality, testing, CI/CD pipelines, and release management to ensure efficiency and high product standards.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other teams to drive product initiatives forward while managing trade-offs between speed, quality, and cost.
• Mentor and Coach: Develop the next generation of engineering leaders within your team through coaching, feedback, and creating growth opportunities.
  
  

What We Are Looking For:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in an engineering management role, including managing engineering managers and scaling multi-team organizations in fast-paced, product-driven environments.
• Proven experience delivering high-quality, high-traffic digital experiences using modern web stacks (e.g., React/Next.js, Java, GraphQL, AWS).
• Deep understanding (7-8 years) of scalable systems, API design, cloud infrastructure, and performance optimization.
• Strong people management skills, with a proven track record of mentoring engineers and engineering managers at various levels. Experience fostering a positive, inclusive, and high-performance engineering culture.
• Product Mindset: Strong understanding of how technology impacts user experience and business outcomes. Ability to balance engineering needs with business goals.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and provide clear updates on project progress.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams such as product, design, marketing, data and QA to drive impactful initiatives.
• Ability to think strategically and critically to address technical and business challenges while maintaining a hands-on approach when necessary.
