About the position

Yahoo is a global media and tech company that reaches hundreds of millions of people around the world, bringing them closer to what they love—from finance and sports to shopping, gaming, and news—with the trusted products, content, and technology that fuel their day. For partners, we provide a full-stack platform for businesses to amplify growth and drive more meaningful connections across advertising, search, and media. The Yahoo Commerce team's mission is to help our audience of 600 million monthly active users discover and make informed decisions about products and services so they can save time and money. We primarily serve audiences who are in their shopping journeys across all Yahoo properties. We work directly with our partners to reach new audiences, gain new users, and drive GMV through leveraging our ecosystem of products and services. We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Engineering Manager who will lead multiple squads responsible for significant functional aspects of the Yahoo Commerce experience. The ideal candidate has a bias for action, excels at explaining technical concepts to anyone and everyone, and is constantly interested in how the applications we build work "under the hood". You are customer-focused—regardless of whether the customer is an external user or an internal team member. You can easily tie engineering objectives to business goals and deliver outcomes that move the business forward. You take pride in your team members' career growth and development and you provide continuous clear feedback. You are able to write code from time to time, although that is not a day-to-day part of this role.
