Software Engineering Manager

CSC Generation is the AI-native holding company re-engineering omnichannel retail. We acquire iconic brands and transform them with Genesis, our operating platform combining a Data Fabric, Automation Engine, proprietary tools, and shared services to modernize operations, elevate customer experience, and expand margins. With $1B+ in revenue across 13 brands, our portfolio includes Sur La Table, Backcountry, One Kings Lane, and others that serve as real-world innovation labs.

Reports to: Chief Technology Officer

Location: Austin (Hybrid) / Remote (United States)

About the Role

As our Software Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of engineers building and scaling the services that power CSC Generation's Retail Service Cloud — the technical backbone shared across 13+ brands. This role exists because we are growing fast and need a hands-on technical leader who can drive architectural decisions, ship meaningful features, and raise the bar for engineering quality across the platform.

You will own a domain end-to-end: setting technical direction, managing the roadmap, mentoring engineers, and staying close enough to the code to debug, review, and build alongside your team. At the 6–12 month mark, success looks like a team that ships reliably, a domain that is measurably more scalable and maintainable than when you arrived, and a set of engineers who are growing under your leadership.

This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
