Role
Who you are
- Deep, modern engineering expertise — 10 + years developing and operating full‑stack, cloud‑hosted applications, with at least 3 years serving as the technical lead or manager for customer‑facing products
- Comfortable writing production code, conducting architecture reviews, and unblocking teammates while simultaneously shaping strategy and people development
- Scalable‑systems résumé — you’ve designed and maintained secure, highly‑available workflows for analytics dashboards, fine‑grained access controls (RBAC), or content management at meaningful traffic and data volumes
- Agile mastery — run end‑to‑end Scrum/Kanban in Jira (refinement → sprint planning → daily stand‑ups → demos/retros), using metrics to drive continuous improvement in velocity and quality
- AI‑accelerated mindset — hands‑on experience piloting or institutionalizing developer‑productivity tools such as Claude Code and Cursor
- Clear, influential communication — able to translate technical trade‑offs for executives, coach engineers through feedback that sticks, and build trust across Product, Data, and Platform organizations
- Growth leadership — proven success in recruiting, onboarding, and mentoring engineers in a fast‑scaling environment
- You thrive in a fast-paced, innovative setting
- Education — Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or an equivalent depth of professional experience
What the job involves
- Lead the team that builds the face of YipitData
- As our Senior Engineering Manager, Corporate Application Engineering, you will own the customer‑facing web applications that drive one of our fastest‑growing revenue lines
- Reporting directly to the VP of Engineering, you’ll blend hands‑on architecture with strategic leadership to ship secure, scalable features that delight our corporate clients
- Today you’ll manage three full‑stack engineers—front‑end and back‑end—but you’ll also shape the charter and grow the team in 2026
- You’ll partner closely with our Head of Applications, Senior UI / UX Designers, as well as our 10‑person Corporate Data Engineering group to turn billions of data points into elegant user experiences
- This is a remote friendly role, with periodic trips to our NYC headquarters for leadership summits and team‑building events
- Own the architecture and end‑to‑end delivery of the Corporate Portal—the primary interface for our enterprise customers
- Design secure, extensible workflows for analytics dashboards, granular access controls (RBAC), and content management
- Lead integrations and system shifts in partnership with the Platform Engineering team to ensure a cohesive technology stack
- Leverage AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Chat GPT to improve personal and team productivity, code quality, and documentation
- Oversee existing systems to improve performance, scalability, and reliability
- Enhance our internal development and deployment practices, ensuring streamlined processes and robust system health
- Proactively identify areas for system improvements and implement strategic solutions
- Run the full Agile cycle in Jira: backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily stand‑ups, retros, and release demos
- Mentor three talented full‑stack engineers today—and recruit, hire, and onboard additional engineers to support business growth
- Provide clear technical direction, constructive code reviews, and career‑growth feedback while staying close enough to the codebase to unblock engineers
- Drive the adoption of new technologies and best practices, contributing to the strategic vision for our Portal
