Senior Manager, Software Engineering (Edge)

 

Metropolis is seeking a Senior Manager to lead software engineering for the Edge Platform: the mission critical backend platform that consumes and organizes event data from our field-deployed hardware and ML systems. We are developing and deploying a broad suite of technologies that enable “AI for the Real World” including cameras, edge compute, sensors, displays, and robotics. In this role, you will lead a team of software engineers to support existing systems and develop the next-generation of the Edge platform. The Edge team integrates real-time hardware events and machine learning outputs into a core mobility identification platform, creating a rich data stream that powers Metropolis applications. As a senior member of the Advanced Technologies organization, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of the platform that not only consumes all of the information from those edge systems, but creates the foundational structures on top of which Metropolis builds remarkable experiences for parking and new verticals. You will work closely with other engineering leaders to ensure your team is balancing a mission critical system with delivering new capabilities that power Metropolis into a future well beyond parking!

 

• Lead the Edge team to design and build backend software solutions that enable an expanding edge device ecosystem.
• Work closely with cross-functional leaders in Hardware, Machine Learning, and other engineering teams to ensure alignment on edge initiatives.
• Organize the team to support existing edge systems, develop new capabilities, and create a strategy for the future.
• Guide the team technically, engaging in hands-on troubleshooting, architecture definition and implementation of best practices.
• Establish robust and right sized processes and mechanisms to ensure the team is freed up to work on building.
• Develop resourcing plans and coordinate across teams to ensure development schedules are aligned and communicated, and drive engineering efforts to completion.
• Invest in the career development of team members, develop future leaders, and create a culture of cohesion and teamwork.
• Participate in talent acquisition processes to ensure that we have world class engineers across all skill and experience levels
  

Qualifications 

• BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science or a relevant engineering discipline
• 8+ years of experience with at least 2+ years of experience leading and managing backend software engineering teams
• 2+ years of experience as a hands-on senior, staff or principal engineer before transitioning into managing teams
• Experience as a technical lead or manager designing software systems that have been deployed at scale
• Experience building distributed backend systems using a variety of service oriented and event driven architectures
• Deep understanding of modern software design processes across the entire software development lifecycle, including TDD/BDD, CI/CD and related build/test/deploy processes
• Experience working directly with or adjacent to distributed edge / IoT / hardware / ML systems
• Working knowledge of Scala, Java or other languages that run on the JVM.
• Demonstrated project management skills to ensure timely delivery of features, while maintaining high quality products
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to a variety of audiences
• Previous experience working inside innovative, high growth environments is a plus
