Cars.com helps tens of millions of people like you and me find their perfect car match each year. We are the #1 automotive marketplace brand, with our audience spanning our desktop & mobile responsive website, our 4.7 star rated Android app, and our 4.8 star rated iOS app.

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager with 5+ years of experience leading our front-end client and back-end services teams as their direct manager to join our growing organization. This role has a high degree of autonomy and ambiguity: You will be working with junior and senior engineers within your team and throughout engineering, as well as cross functional stakeholders in product, design, and data to take projects from idea to done.

This means owning project management and execution as a whole, including collaborating through the discovery process to arrive at a technical solution, working to execute upon that solution, and shipping that solution to millions of users. You’ll do this across multiple product feature teams, and deliver simultaneously across desktop and mobile responsive web, iOS, and Android - including driving the development of the back-end services that back all three of our front-end clients.

To your team, you’ll be their fearless leader and mentor, making sure that they’re supported and ready to tackle interesting product-driven challenges and technical problems. You’ll help drive sprint ceremonies, manage projects, guide technical decisions, and be instrumental in empowering your team to reach their personal career goals. Hiring and retaining top talent is a key aspect of this role. You’ll help determine who to hire to ensure your team’s success, as well as how to reward top performers and coach individuals to do their best work.

Your sphere of influence doesn’t end there. Passionate and opinionated about things like new and emerging technologies, organizational theory, process, and execution? You’ll be able to help define the what and the how around engineering for our organization.

In short, you’ll be a leader and a force multiplier, and with that, you’ll shape how millions of people shop for their next car on web, iOS, and Android.
