Company Description

Care.com's Enterprise business sells care benefits to employers through LifeCare (WorkLife). We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the LifeCare engineering team, and supporting-PeopleSoft team. You will own delivery, reliability, security and compliance for these systems. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will coach engineers, partner with product and operations, work with auditors, and lead incident response.

Job Description

• Lead, coach and grow engineers across both teams, including offshore and vendor partners. Manage performance and career growth, and build a safe, accountable team culture.
• Partner with product, QA, data and DevOps on scoping, estimation and trade-offs. Give stakeholders clear, regular status updates.
• Own production health: on-call readiness, incident response, post-mortems, and observability and alerting (Splunk, SignalFx).
• Drive FedRAMP, STIG and SOC 2/SOX commitments with security, DBA and infrastructure partners, including audit logging, TLS, vulnerability scanning, and access and change reviews.
• Prioritize the steady flow of support, bug, report and permission requests against roadmap work, and shield the team from low-priority distractions.
• Oversee integrations (Snowflake, SFTP eligibility feeds, client SSO via SAML/OIDC) and manage vendor and contractor relationships.
• Raise code and design quality through effective use of AI tools, reduce single points of knowledge, and propose tech-debt and modernization investments with clear cost/benefit.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering and 2+ years of engineering management experience, with a track record of coaching engineers and managing performance.
• Strong technical grounding in Java/Spring Boot services and relational databases (Oracle and/or MySQL); able to lead architecture and design discussions.
• Experience delivering legacy modernization, migration or platform-decoupling projects.
• Working knowledge of authentication and identity (OAuth2/OIDC, SAML, SSO) and IDaaS products such as AWS Cognito, Auth0 or Okta.
• Experience with AWS, Terraform, CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and observability tools (Splunk or similar).
• Experience leading incident response as a war-room lead, and running blameless post-mortems.
• Experience in regulated environments (FedRAMP, SOC 2, SOX, PCI or similar), and comfort working with auditors.
• Clear communication with executives, product and operations partners, and with distributed teams.

Nice to Have

• PeopleSoft experience (PeopleTools, PeopleCode, Integration Broker) or comparable enterprise CRM/ERP platforms.
• Snowflake integration experience.
• Familiarity with TypeScript/React/Next.js, GraphQL and Go.
• Background in enterprise benefits, HR-tech or marketplace businesses, and experience managing vendor or staff-augmentation teams.
• Candidates local to Dallas and Austin Texas are Highly preferred as we are hybrid Monday Wednesday & Thursday
