Impact

Shipt is on the lookout for an Engineering Manager, come join us. Your day begins by leading and collaborating with a dedicated team of engineers focused on building the frontends for Shipt’s critical catalog management and marketing tools. Your day-to-day life involves partnering closely with product counterparts to strategize and prioritize work, jumping into architecture and design decisions, reviewing code, and facilitating 1-on-1s to mentor and grow your team members.

The success of your tools depends on deep partnerships across multiple engineering teams, making collaboration the rule, not the exception. Ultimately, you are responsible for delivering robust software that empowers Shipt's internal operations teams, translating complex ambiguity into actionable engineering tasks that align directly with the company's strategic vision.

This is a hybrid role that is based in one of our three office hubs: Birmingham, AL; Minneapolis, MN; or San Francisco, CA, so you need to be located near one of these to designate as your home office.

• A Minimum of 4 years of professional software engineering experience independently designing, building, and deploying scalable modern web applications and distributed microservices using tools like React, GraphQL, and Playwright.

• Proven project leadership experience, successfully guiding 1 to 3 complex, cross-functional initiatives from ambiguous requirements to production delivery without requiring daily oversight or guidance.

• Prior experience mentoring or managing a team of engineers, conducting thorough code reviews, coaching individuals on their career development, and analyzing team metrics to inform strategic organizational decisions.

• Hands-on experience with AI and Agentic Engineering, explicitly utilizing AI coding tools and inputs to accelerate development workflows, solve challenging problems, and optimize high-performing web applications.

• Strong operational execution skills, demonstrated by successfully tracking dependencies, identifying risks, maintaining high observability for large-scale projects using systems like Jira and GitHub Issues, and monitoring for running systems with tools like DataDog or BugSnag.

• Full stack understanding will be helpful as you work with engineering partners who own backend assets; however, you will not be expected to own full-stack development within your team.

• Cloud hosting and deployment knowledge helps you navigate our hosting environment. Our app hosting patterns are solidified, but a basic understanding of containers, kubernetes, and CI tools informs your architectural decisions and is a solid baseline for troubleshooting.
