Sr. Engineering Manager

The Role

You will lead a team of engineers, driving delivery, technical quality, and engineering culture across our consumer web surface. This is a high-visibility platform: rich in content, strong in SEO and domain authority, and central to how families discover A Place for Mom.

The role combines people leadership, technical credibility, and cross-functional partnership to ship high-impact software in a fast-moving environment.

What You Will Do

• Lead, grow, and retain the team of engineers building and evolving APFM.com and related web properties.
• Own delivery for the Web platform: planning sprints, managing scope, and removing blockers to keep the team moving.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, SEO, and Content teams to translate roadmap priorities into clear, well-scoped engineering work.
• Set and uphold engineering standards across code quality, performance, Core Web Vitals, accessibility (WCAG), testing, observability, and security.
• Drive technical decisions in collaboration with principal and staff engineers, balancing speed with long-term maintainability.
• Build a culture of accountability, learning, and psychological safety — running effective 1:1s, performance conversations, and career development planning.
• Collaborate across the engineering organization on shared infrastructure, platform investments, and cross-team dependencies.
• Contribute to hiring: sourcing, interviewing, and closing strong engineering talent.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2–3 years in an engineering management role.
• Experience leading teams building consumer-facing web products at scale, ideally on modern JavaScript/TypeScript stacks (React, Next.js, Node.js).
• Comfort with GraphQL and API-driven architectures.
• Strong track record of delivering reliable, high-quality, high-traffic consumer web experiences in a product-led environment.
• Able to engage technically — review architecture proposals, give meaningful code feedback, and make sound tradeoff decisions.
• Excellent communicator who can operate comfortably across engineers, product managers, and senior leadership.
• Experience with agile delivery practices, sprint planning, and cross-functional roadmap execution.
• Demonstrated ability to grow engineers through coaching, feedback, and structured career development.
