Why this role

The Senior Manager, Software Engineering will lead the team responsible for pricing Evolve's properties, predicting market demand, forecasting future returns for current and potential properties on the platform, and related systems. This team is responsible for machine learning models that ingest billions of rows of data daily for inference and training as well as the “human in the loop” feedback systems that modify those outputs and inform future iterations of the model. This role will be highly technical, including responsibility for architecture, technical strategy, and communication of technical decisions across the wider organization in addition to delivery of critical systems. This role will be leading a distributed team of engineers focused on delivering robust, high-performing, traceable, observable server side systems in a fast-paced agile environment. This role will collaborate closely with other development teams (this is a “complicated sub-system” team) such as product, revenue management, and sales  to understand internal and external stakeholder needs and plan migration and roll-out strategies. 

This role requires broad and deep experience with big data, high throughput systems, API design, and developing critical integrations with third party systems. Candidates must be comfortable leading strategy, planning iterative and incremental releases, and contributing tactically to design.

This role will identify and drive resourcing needs, collaborate on technology + tool selections, and assign resources as needed to complete product requirements.
