Role
Who you are
- You have significant experience of at least 10 years delivering impactful data-centric SaaS products, ideally in an enterprise B2B space
- You have an entrepreneurial spirit and proven leadership experience in a fast-paced startup environment.
- You have successfully built new products from the ground up and led critical cross-team initiatives
- You are self-directed, have strong technical judgment, and know when to step in and when to delegate.
- You have led teams to make the hard calls between building it fast and building for the longer-term
- You have at least four years of relevant hands-on experience in machine learning, data processing or application development (see our open engineering roles for details)
What the job involves
- As Senior Engineering Manager at Syrup, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our technology organization and driving the growth of our engineering group
- Engineering Excellence: You will drive the development of technology, processes and structures to ensure we have an extensible, scalable platform. You’ll own the delivery of critical new platform components and capabilities. You will implement best practices to support outstanding reliability and quality. You will streamline operations, and drive efficiency and cohesion within the engineering organization
- Team Development: You will recruit, lead, and mentor a group of 10-15 engineers spanning two to three teams. You will mentor and coach team leads and individual contributors to support outstanding collaboration, execution and career growth. Our overall engineering organization will at least double to 30-40 engineers in the next 12-18 months, and this role is critical to supporting our scalability
- Project Oversight: You will oversee multiple teams responsible for customer systems integration, platform infrastructure development, and application feature delivery
- Innovation: You will foster a culture of innovation and creativity, enabling the team to research new technologies, validate novel approaches, and develop innovative solutions while delivering on near-term enhancements
- Collaboration: You will work flexibly with other engineering leaders towards shared success. You will work within cross-functional leadership teams that include partners, Customer Success, Product Management, and Analytics to maximize collective potential and achieve outstanding results
Our take
In a world with deep supply chain disruptions, true omni-channel networks, and sustainability-minded consumers, there is a real need for next-generation inventory systems. Yet, close to three-quarters of supply-chain functions rely on the simplest method (spreadsheets with human oversight).
This is what Syrup is setting out to change, and its product is potentially a massive improvement on current inventory management practices. The company's AI-powered predictive software provides inventory excellence at each step in the value chain, empowering merchandising and planning teams with allocation, ordering, and planning recommendations.
The early stage company has attracted impressive funding and this will be invested in expanding the product and growing its team.
