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 thre 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

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 (Ruby on Rails preferred) and one or more JavaScript libraries/frameworks (React and Ember preferred)
- 3+ years of engineering management experience with a team of ~4 or more engineers, providing mentorship, regular feedback, and career development (bonus if you’ve managed a distributed, remote-first team)
- Strong communication abilities, capable of articulating complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences, including stakeholders in Product and UX.
- Experience developing and launching AI-driven software solutions
- Experience designing scalable systems following architecture best practices
- Familiarity with high-performance, high-throughput, microservices-based applications
- Experience with modern build, testing tools, and Agile & Scrum methodology
- Proven ability to excel and drive results in a high-growth and fast-paced environment
