Sr. Engineering Manager

Care.com is a consumer tech company with heart. We’re on a mission to solve a human challenge we all face: finding great care for the ones we love. We’re moms and dads and pet parents. We have parents and grandparents so we understand that everyone, at some point in their lives, could use a helping hand. Our culture and our products reflect that.

We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Pricing and Subscription team, a group of nine engineers responsible for the company’s core revenue-generating experiences, including rate cards, upsell, and checkout. In this role, you will partner closely with Product Management to review requirements and shape the roadmap, and you will drive a strong culture of experimentation through extensive A/B testing. This is a hands-on leadership position: you will be expected to remain technically engaged, reviewing technical designs and code changes to uphold engineering quality across the team.

What You Will Do

• Lead a team of 9 engineers (including backend, frontend and QA) responsible for pricing, packaging, promotions and subscriptions experiences across our web and mobile products.
• Partner with Product, Finance, Marketing, and Data to translate business priorities into the technical roadmap
• Share progress and results with leadership, and help guide trade-off decisions by clearly explaining the risks, options, and expected return on engineering investment.
• Stay hands-on: review code and designs, help debug production issues.
• Build and run an experimentation practice that includes A/B testing, feature flags, clear success metrics and guardrails, so the team can ship pricing changes quickly and read the results with confidence.
• Design and maintain the services that hold pricing rules, plans, discounts and promotions, and make sure they stay accurate, auditable and consistent with billing and payments systems.
• Work with architects to break up legacy platform components and move core pricing capabilities to an event-driven architecture.
• Champion engineering best practices across the domain, including observability, testing, performance, scalability and security.
• Recruit, mentor and develop engineers, and build a team culture of ownership, collaboration and continuous improvement.
• Oversee on-call practices, SLAs and incident management to keep the platform resilient and available.

## Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• 3+ years leading engineering teams as an Engineering Manager or Team Lead, including experience managing a large team or multiple teams.
• A track record of delivering pricing, monetization, subscription or checkout work in a consumer-facing product.
• Experience running experiments and using data to decide what to build next.
• Hands-on technical skills across the full stack, and enough familiarity with our stack to take part in design and code review. Experience with Java or Golang is required.
• Experience with AWS and microservices architecture is a plus.
• Working knowledge of billing and payment systems, and of payment security and compliance such as PCI-DSS, is a plus.
• Proven ability to communicate with executives and cross-functional leaders, and to explain technical decisions in terms of business impact.
• Experience delivering large-scale, consumer-facing systems in a fast-paced environment.
• A demonstrated ability to recruit, inspire and grow engineering talent.
• Location: Austin or Dallas Texas candidates are highly preferred; we are hybrid, MW&T in office
