Job description
The Role:
The Shopping Data team at Minted sits at the core of our e-commerce experience, powering the data that supports how products are discovered, priced, and displayed. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead this primarily backend-focused team responsible for systems focusing on the data that power our users’ shopping experience.
This is a high-impact role for a strong people and project leader who can support and grow a talented team of engineers, facilitate collaboration across functions, and help scale the foundational services that support all of Minted’s customer shopping experiences. While you won’t need to be the technical expert in the room, you’ll be technically fluent—able to understand the systems your team is building and work effectively with cross-functional partners.
You will:
- Lead and manage a team of backend engineers working on service-oriented systems that power our core shopping data infrastructure
- Own team execution, delivery, and growth, ensuring projects are well-scoped, prioritized, and delivered on time and at high quality
- Partner with technical leads, product managers, and other teams to align on roadmaps, dependencies, and long-term technical investments
- Foster a healthy and inclusive team culture, supporting career development through mentorship, feedback, and growth opportunities
- Participate in system design reviews, architecture conversations, and code reviews, providing input to ensure technical excellence while advocating for clarity and maintainability
- Champion engineering best practices, including testing, documentation, reliability, and observability
- Build and maintain a robust testing system, driving strategy and implementation of unit testing, end-to-end testing, and CI/CD pipelines
- Act as a strategic voice in planning, balancing short-term product goals with long-term scalability and system resilience
You have:
- 5+ years of engineering experience, including 2+ years in an engineering management role
- Expertise in backend development and system design, with a strong understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and cloud architectures
- Proficiency in modern programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, or similar, and a solid grasp of SQL and database modeling
- The ability to communicate technical concepts effectively, both within the engineering team and to non-technical stakeholders
- Experience with data modeling and systems that support high-volume transactional or catalog data is a strong plus
- Proven ability to grow and support engineers at different career stages
- Strong organizational and execution skills—you help teams get things done while keeping people energized and motivated
You are:
- A people-first leader who values trust, growth, and clear communication
- Comfortable navigating both product and platform priorities—and making tradeoffs between them when needed
- A technically curious generalist who asks smart questions and supports sound engineering decisions, even if you’re not writing the code
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and unafraid to ask “why” and dig deeper
- A believer in continuous improvement, always looking for ways to make people, systems, and processes better
