SiteDocs is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to join their team! As a Senior Engineering Manager, you’ll lead and grow high-performing engineering teams while overseeing delivery across a mix of full-time staff and external vendor partners. You will shape the technical direction, execution strategy, and team health across one or more product lines. This role blends hands-on team leadership with broader organizational influence—partnering with Product, Design, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver scalable, high-quality software.
You’ll work across boundaries—between internal and external teams, across product lines, and within a broader multi-brand environment—while elevating engineering culture, execution, and ownership.
Your Most Important Initiatives:
- Team Leadership & Development
- Lead 1–2 cross-functional teams, including oversight of external contractors or vendor relationships.
- Hire, onboard, and develop engineers; foster a culture of growth, accountability, and continuous improvement.
- Conduct regular 1:1s, provide coaching and feedback, and support career development across the team.
- Technical Strategy & Execution
- Shape and communicate technical vision in partnership with Engineering and Product leadership.
- Ensure technical quality in deliverables, code health, and architectural alignment with long-term platform goals.
- Drive planning and execution for product initiatives, balancing internal and vendor contributions.
- Collaboration & Stakeholder Communication
- Partner with Product, Design, and Go-To-Market teams to align delivery with business needs.
- Represent Engineering in leadership forums, translating between technical and non-technical audiences.
- Drive alignment in multi-brand or integration contexts, ensuring transparency and momentum.
- Process Improvement & Performance Monitoring
- Implement and evolve engineering workflows using agile methodologies while keeping process lean and purpose-driven.
- Track key engineering KPIs.
- Continuously refine team execution, culture, and system-level resilience through structured improvements.
- Innovation & Technical Oversight
- Stay current on relevant technologies and industry trends.
- Support technical exploration, R&D, and architectural experimentation that aligns with business priorities.
- Own operational excellence: system scalability, performance, and reliability.
What You Bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 7+ years of experience in software engineering, including 3+ years managing teams.
- Experience managing distributed teams and external vendor or contractor relationships.
- Strong technical background in modern software development practices, architecture, and infrastructure.
- Proven ability to lead through ambiguity and drive clarity across multiple product lines or organizations.
- Excellent communication skills for cross-functional leadership, conflict resolution, and influence.
- High emotional intelligence and a track record of building strong, inclusive team cultures.
Our success is rooted in a wonderfully wholesome culture, best defined by our four overarching values:
- Authentic Relationships - People are never a means to an end.
- Continuous Learning - Test every assumption and never stay stagnant.
- Interdependence - We build systems that require everyone to perform with excellence, we are a team, and we succeed or fail together.
- Data Driven Decisions - Because wisdom requires understanding the facts of the matter, disputes between competing perspectives are resolved with data.
