### About the Opportunity

Salsify is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to join our Engineering group to lead an established, high-performing team focused on building products and capabilities that drive customer satisfaction, product-led growth, and business expansion.

In this role, you’ll have a visible impact on both customer value and business outcomes by leading the development of features that meaningfully shape how customers experience the Salsify platform. You’ll bring a strong technical foundation alongside a passion for people leadership, cultivating a highly collaborative environment where engineers can do their best work, grow their careers, and partner effectively with Product Management and User Experience partners.

This is an excellent opportunity for a thoughtful, proactive, hands-on leader to continue growing both their technical depth and leadership impact while partnering with talented, growth-minded engineers.

### How You'll Make an Impact

You’ll take strong ownership of problem areas critical to the business, with responsibilities spanning three key areas:

People Leadership & Growth

- Build and sustain a supportive, high-performance team culture
- Lead the growth and professional development of a team of talented engineers
- Provide regular feedback, coaching, mentorship, and career guidance
- Foster an environment grounded in trust, accountability, and continuous learning
Product Strategy & Execution

- Partner closely with Product Management, User Experience, and engineers to define technical vision and roadmap for a portfolio of products and capabilities
- Ensure the team has clear direction and context to deliver impactful solutions
- Guide the design of sound, scalable systems that support both current needs and future growth
- Own delivery excellence for the team’s roadmap commitments
Operational Excellence & Engineering Best Practices

- Ensure the stability, performance, and reliability of the systems developed by your team
- Promote and uphold modern engineering best practices, including code quality, testing, observability, and architectural standards
- Champion the thoughtful adoption of new technologies, including AI, to improve developer efficiency and software quality
### You’ll enjoy this role if you have

- Bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as computer science, computer engineering, or a related field
- ~7 years of hands-on coding/product delivery experience (this is not a hands-on role, but we feel that this background is essential due to the nature of the team), with command of one or more server-side languages (Python) and one or more JavaScript libraries/frameworks (React and Ember preferred)
- 3+ years of engineering management experience with a team of ~8 or more engineers, providing mentorship, regular feedback, and career development (bonus if you’ve managed a distributed, remote-first team)
