Software Engineering Manager - Customer Relationship Platform

Who We Are

A sweetgreen Software Engineering Manager (SEM) is the people manager for a team of software engineers and is ultimately responsible for building products and experiences that support business requirements. They establish individual goals for sweetgreen team members that accelerate growth. They define and evaluate specific vendor objectives, when vendors are used. They establish team goals that enable the team to improve and deliver on the products and experiences the team is responsible for. 


An SEM must have a deep technical understanding of the products they own and the ability to work with product teams and other stakeholders to map requirements to a sustainable solution. They will work with their team to establish the SDLC, develop architectural solutions, and drive operational excellence.


Top Goal -  Within one year, you will have built (hired, trained, and mentored) the team that has gone on to implement a complete in-house system for sweetgreen’s loyalty program removing a critical vendor dependency. This needs to be implemented in a sequence of logical steps addressing these major challenges as part of the process: scalability, compatibility, and incrementality.
