Job Description
We are seeking a Manager–Web to join our Digital Engineering team and lead the delivery of enterprise-scale, multi-brand digital web applications. This role blends technical leadership with people management—ideal for a hands-on manager who can both guide engineering direction and grow a high-performing web development team.
As Manager–Web, you will be accountable for the architecture, delivery, and operational excellence of our React-based applications. You will develop and manage a team of web engineers, fostering a culture of quality, innovation, and continuous improvement. With strong technical expertise and leadership skills, you will ensure our customer-facing platforms deliver world-class performance, security, accessibility, and reliability.
Exposure to GitHub Copilot (or similar AI-powered developer tools) and Generative AI (GenAI) is a plus, particularly in driving team productivity and innovative customer experiences.
This position is an onsite 80% role at the Atlanta Global Support Center.
Responsibilities
Team Leadership & Development
• Build, develop, and manage a team of web engineers, ensuring continuous growth, mentorship, and career development.
• Serve as a hands-on manager, balancing people management with technical contributions.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and innovation across geo-distributed teams.
• Recruit, onboard, and retain top web engineering talent.
Architecture & Systems Design
• Guide the architecture and evolution of React-based enterprise web applications with scalability, performance, and accessibility in mind.
• Apply modern frontend patterns: micro-frontends, component-driven architecture, state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil), and server-side rendering (Next.js).
• Ensure best practices in responsive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.1), and internationalization.
• Drive secure integration with backend APIs (REST/GraphQL), identity management solutions (Auth0, Azure AD B2C), and observability platforms.
• Optimize global web performance through edge delivery and caching strategies.
• Explore opportunities to integrate GenAI-driven features such as personalization, conversational UI, and intelligent search.
Delivery & Execution
• Provide leadership in delivery execution, ensuring projects meet business goals, timelines, and quality standards.
• Drive adoption of CI/CD practices (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), automated testing, and observability.
• Champion automation-first engineering and enforce high standards in performance and security.
• Establish coding standards, design system adoption, and enforce code review practices.
• Encourage the adoption of productivity tools such as GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted coding solutions.
Collaboration & Influence
• Partner with backend, product, and design teams to align on technical roadmaps and release strategies.
• Facilitate cross-functional workshops, design reviews, and proof-of-concept initiatives.
• Influence decision-making across global teams, balancing business priorities with long-term sustainability.
• Collaborate with product, design, and data teams to identify and integrate GenAI use cases into web features.
Qualifications
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 2+ years in an engineering management role.
• 4 Year Degree and/or Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field
• Proven track record of delivering enterprise-scale React-based applications with global reach.
• Strong hands-on expertise in:
• React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3 (SASS, Tailwind, CSS-in-JS).
• State management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, or equivalent).
• Frontend performance optimization and Core Web Vitals.
• Experience leading and mentoring engineering teams.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, testing frameworks, and automation practices.
• Experience integrating with backend APIs (REST/GraphQL) and secure authentication solutions.
• Familiarity with GitHub Copilot or AI-assisted coding tools.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Generative AI applications in customer-facing web products.
• Familiarity with multi-brand or multi-tenant digital platforms.
• Knowledge of design systems (Storybook, Material UI, or similar).
• Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Application Insights, Grafana, Prometheus).
• Strong communication skills to articulate technical trade-offs to both executives and engineers.
• Awareness of responsible AI practices (cost optimization, bias mitigation, governance).
What Success Looks Like
• A high-performing web engineering team that is motivated, collaborative, and continuously improving.
• Web applications that deliver exceptional performance, scalability, accessibility, and security.
• AI-assisted development accelerates productivity and improves code quality.
• GenAI-powered features drive personalization, engagement, and innovation.
• Clear coding standards and design system adoption ensure long-term platform sustainability.
• Recognition as a hands-on leader and technical authority in web engineering across the organization.
