The Opportunity…

We’re looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Manager to lead our high-performing Web Engineering team. You’ll be responsible for managing a team of 6 full-time engineers and 4 offshore contractors, building and maintaining dozens of high-velocity landing pages used in paid media campaigns across social and search. These pages are typically simple, high-impact one-pagers built for speed, scale, and conversion. You’ll lead the engineering team that builds them, working closely with product managers, designers, QA, and business stakeholders to ensure our sites meet performance goals and business needs.

Key Responsibility

• Manage and grow a team of 10+ engineers (6 FTEs, 4 offshore contractors) across multiple client verticals
• Own the delivery process of landing pages from ideation to launch-most pages go live in under a week
• Oversee frontend-heavy development using React, Next.js, and legacy PHP/WordPress as we transition to modern frameworks
• Work closely with designers, product managers, QA, and stakeholders to scope, build, and test A/B experiments or launch new landing pages
• Foster a fast-paced, startup-minded culture with strong ownership and autonomy
• Spend ~20% of your time contributing to code (POCs, exploring new tech, debugging)
• Support hiring, onboarding, and career development for your team
• Conduct regular 1:1s and drive performance through mentorship and feedback
• Collaborate with cross-functional leads to set team priorities and ensure timely, high-quality delivery
• Collaborate with other engineering teams and technology within Centerfield

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience managing 4+ direct reports in an engineering team
• Strong background in frontend web development, particularly with React, Next.js, and modern web architecture
• Comfortable working in PHP/WordPress and navigating legacy systems when needed, reverse engineering, debugging, etc
• Familiarity with A/B testing, conversion rate optimization, and marketing funnels
• Strong communication and collaboration skills-you’ll partner closely with business, product, and design
• Hands-on mindset: you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed
• High bias for action, driven, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment
