Role Overview
As Senior Engineering Manager for Client Multiplatform, you'll lead the engineering team powering the Fanatics Markets app — a fast-moving, high-growth product at the intersection of sports and financial markets. You'll manage mobile engineers, set the technical direction for our Kotlin Multiplatform strategy, and partner across the organization to ship high-quality, customer-facing features consistently across platforms. This role demands a balance of deep technical credibility, strong people leadership, and the ability to influence executives and cross-functional stakeholders alike. The ideal candidate is energized by both platform enablement work and end-user product delivery — this role requires comfort with both.

- Lead, coach, and develop staff and senior engineers, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Own end-to-end technical execution of complex features — from architecture and design to deployment and iteration — including proactive consideration of edge cases, testing, and operational concerns.
- Partner with the client platform team to define and evolve shared standards, best practices, and UI libraries across the organization — balancing your product team's priorities with contributions back to the shared platform.
- Provide architectural oversight for Kotlin/Java services built with Spring Boot, ensuring engineering best practices are upheld and integration points and dependencies are anticipated early.
- Set and track engineering goals around availability, performance, quality, and delivery cadence — holding teams accountable to outcomes.
- Recruit, retain, and scale top engineering talent through thoughtful hiring, mentorship, and inclusive team culture.
