The Role:
Minted seeks a Software Engineering Manager to lead the Shopping Portfolio’s Marketing Enablement team engineers, building consumer-facing e-commerce experiences. This role involves collaborating on building a next-generation platform and ensuring on-time product delivery. You will be responsible for the technology strategy and team management, working cross-functionally with other engineering teams, collaborators, and stakeholders to effectively ideate and deliver on the long-term vision of the systems that make it possible for our end-users to find the products they’re looking to buy. The ideal candidate will strategize with stakeholders and Product Managers, manage an Agile team, and rapidly develop revenue-generating features.
You will:
Facilitate teams building and integrating complex software systems (UIs and Services) from idea inception through planning to experimentation and performance at scale
Work closely with Product Management, UX, and Engineering peers & leaders to implement and refine a complex backlog of projects & initiatives
Coordinate the efforts of your engineers to deliver features and improvements in a predictable, iterative, and repeatable way
Provide hands-on input for architecture and technology strategies that can be carried out by internal and external team members
Champion AI-assisted development practices across both frontend and backend teams, identifying and driving adoption of tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) and best practices that demonstrably improve team velocity and code quality
Create an engineering culture of ownership, accountability, testing, and measurement
Be a talent builder to attract, mentor, and retain the best-in-class engineers
Lead engineers in their day-to-day tasks, system designs, and career growth
You are:
Obsessive about productivity and feature delivery
Up to speed on highly scalable, event-driven, distributed systems
Opinionated about team organization, development processes, and focused on feature delivery
Comfortable working in domains with novel and challenging problems to solve
Deeply metrics-driven, with strong fluency in data analysis, behavioral analytics, and experimentation — able to define success criteria, interpret signals from user behavior, and guide teams to ship, measure, and iterate with rigor
Able to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner
Collaborative and candid with non-engineering stakeholders, including PM and UX
Hands-on with AI development tools and thoughtful about where they accelerate teams versus where they introduce risk

3+ years building consumer-facing e-commerce platforms
Technical design skills with an emphasis on distributed and/or cloud-based scaling
In-depth understanding of computer science principles, including data structures, programming languages, operating systems, software engineering, databases, hardware, observability tools, and networking
Demonstrated experience evaluating and adopting AI coding tools, either through personal hands-on use or by driving org-wide adoption
Familiarity with prompt engineering fundamentals and an understanding of where AI assistance is most effective in the SDLC
Bonus Points:
Experience with streaming architectures
Experience with Content Management Systems, such as Drupal, AEM & Contentful
Experience with Marketing Technologies and platforms
Experience integrating AI-powered features into consumer products (e.g. search personalization, recommendations, generative content)
