Overview of the Manager, Engineering Role

As the Manager, Engineering, you will play a vital part in driving solid cloud architecture and ensure best engineering practices across multiple engineering teams. You, along with your globally dispersed teammates, will collaborate to build micro-service based systems responsible for helping our customers share content and information.

You will work closely with our product leads, engineering leads, and team to extract business-critical components/logic out of a monolith and create a microservice with a design and data model that sets Seismic up for the next ten years. This is an opportunity to work as a technical thought-leader and make a difference at a growing company.

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of 7 years of Software Development experience within a SaaS business.
• Must have a familiarity with .NET Core, and C# or similar object-oriented languages and frameworks.
• Must have experience managing a global team.
• Experience with HTML/CSS/JS and modern SPA frameworks (React, Vue.js, etc.) a plus.
• Experience with the SCRUM and the AGILE development process.
• Familiarity and comfortability developing in cloud-based environments (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, etc.).

What You'll Be Doing

As an experienced software engineer with a passion for building and innovating, you will be an active contributor in the team problem-solving process. You aren't afraid to share your opinions in a low-ego manner or roll up your sleeves and write critical path code or refactor a significant piece of code. You will leverage deep experience across multiple software projects, driving the end-to-end software development lifecycle of an architecturally complex system or product. You will also have the ability to think tactically as well as strategically, respecting what came before you and always thinking longer-term. You will be highly focused on operational excellence and software quality, with experience in CI/CD and best operational practices. Your technical skills are sought after as you develop in a pragmatic and efficient manner. You will enjoy solving challenging problems, all while having a blast with equally passionate and talented team members.

Leading and Growing Your Team

• Help lead a global engineering team while collaborating and driving technical and architectural decisions.
• Collaborate with globally-dispersed product managers, designers, and software engineers to rapidly build, test, and deploy code to create innovative solutions and add values to our customers' experience with Seismic.
• Explore new technologies and industry trends and bring your findings to life in our products.
• Participate in and contribute towards code reviews, bug/issue triage, and documentation.
• Contribute to troubleshooting and continuous quality improvements.
• Mentor and develop engineers, helping them grow technically and professionally.
• Foster collaboration across geographically distributed teams (U.S. and Beijing), ensuring clear communication, shared goals, and mutual accountability.
• Contribute to Seismic’s engineering culture, championing clarity, ownership, and innovation.
