About the Role
Our Center of Excellence team is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the engineering function for our Communications Group. This leader will be responsible for developing a strong engineering culture, driving top-level company objectives, creating scalable systems that directly affect the client and user experience, and partnering cross-functionally to drive business outcomes. They will leverage AI as a multiplier to make our teams more productive.
You’ll identify key engineering-wide, org-level strategic technical initiatives and set the tone for overall engineering excellence. This role will lead a shared service function with your leadership impacting all products & engineering functions. The CoE’s high level mission is to enable product, content and monetization to succeed for all stakeholders across SJC.

What You’ll Do in this Role:
Build and nurture a high-performing engineering team: Hire, mentor, and empower engineers at all levels while fostering a culture grounded in trust, teamwork, clear expectations, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Define and communicate our technical vision: Establish the roadmap for critical systems, core product abstractions, and developer productivity tools, ensuring every engineer understands our priorities for quality, speed, and scalability.
Champion organizational adoption of AI: Lead process improvements, structural shifts, and adoption of AI-powered tools, products and agents—guiding teams and leaders through transitions so they can embrace new ways of working effectively.
Collaborate on product strategy: Partner closely with product managers, designers, and other partners to map out long-term technical and platform goals, then break those goals into actionable milestones with clear success criteria.
Design, build, and own innovative solutions: Enable your team to architect and develop new platform and product features using modern frameworks (TypeScript, React, Node.js) and AI technologies, taking ownership from prototype through production.
Ensure architectural robustness: Drive technical design discussions, offer thoughtful guidance on system architecture, and validate that every service we ship is reliable, scalable, and aligned with our business objectives.
Stay hands-on in the codebase: Balance leadership responsibilities with a genuine passion for coding—contributing code alongside your team to maintain both technical credibility and a deep understanding of our product.
