Software Engineering Manager, PLG

About the Role

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Engine’s Product-Led Growth (PLG) team, responsible for driving customer activation, engagement, and expansion across Engine’s full travel marketplace, including lodging, flights, cars, spaces, and groups. This team owns the in-product growth funnel, shaping how customers experience the platform from signup and onboarding through repeat usage, cross-sell, and rebooking. Their work directly influences customer retention and revenue by improving how and when users discover and adopt new services, with a strong emphasis on experimentation, iteration, and data-informed decision-making.

In this role, you’ll lead a high-performing team focused on rapid development, continuous improvement, and building stronger experimentation practices into how the team ships and learns. You’ll partner closely with product, data, and design to identify opportunities to increase time-to-value, improve stickiness, and encourage broader product adoption across the platform through thoughtful testing, learning, and iteration.

• Lead a high-performing engineering team by fostering a culture of technical excellence, extreme ownership, and rapid execution. You will raise the talent bar, empowering builders to solve complex marketplace challenges while ensuring growth and accountability.
• Manage the end-to-end development lifecycle of engineering projects by pioneering AI-driven practices that accelerate quality and delivery. You will leverage cutting-edge strategies to make speed-to-market a byproduct of your team's velocity, ensuring every initiative meets our high bar for security, scalability, and excellence.
• Drive efficiency through agile methodologies and engineering best practices, leveraging intelligent automation and advanced workflows to redefine the ceiling for team velocity. You will continuously refine processes and tools to optimize productivity, ensuring rapid delivery and high-caliber output are the standard for every project.
• Act as the bridge between engineering and other teams, ensuring clear communication and alignment on priorities. Translate complex technical concepts into actionable insights for business stakeholders and leadership.
• Champion a customer-obsessed engineering culture by building data-driven, consumer-grade solutions that anticipate traveler needs, making every interaction seamless, intuitive, and delightful.
