Sr. Manager, Software Engineer - Mobile
At Panera Bread, you will lead the engineering teams behind one of the most widely used mobile experiences in the restaurant industry, across a digital commerce portfolio backed by a large physical restaurant footprint. The problems are complex and highly visible, and the organization is built so every engineer sees the impact of their work.
This is an Android-first leadership role and requires strong, hands-on Android native experience. You will lead the Android team from day one setting technical direction, raising engineering standards, and owning delivery. Within your first 3–6 months, you will expand to manage and own delivery for the iOS and React Native teams as well, growing into full ownership of mobile engineering as both people leader and technical leader. You will partner with our Mobile Principal Architect on architecture decisions and platform strategy.
You will represent mobile in highly technical forums, translate product requirements into clear technical direction, and work with third party partners from enterprise vendors to emerging providers, alongside a first class team of engineers, product managers, and designers building features guests notice and that move the business.

Saint Louis Support Center
Panera began in 1987 as St. Louis Bread Company, a humble community bakery founded with a sourdough starter from San Francisco and a dream of putting a loaf of bread in every arm. While our business has expanded well beyond St. Louis since then, that same sourdough starter is still used in our iconic sourdough bread and the craft of baking bread fresh each day remains at the heart of Panera Bread. Each day, our trained bakers fill our bakery shelves with delicious freshly baked cookies, pastries, bagels, and a range of breads from focaccia to classic baguettes.
We believe in serving delicious, freshly prepared, clean food made with carefully selected ingredients that we are proud to serve our own families. Our menu, crafted by chefs and bakers, features classic, comforting dishes, each with an intriguing twist.
We respect our planet and take measures to lessen our impacts. We believe in treating people with warmth, kindness, and respect, whether it’s a guest in our cafe or one of our associates. And we believe in helping our local communities, especially in times of need.
We’re also focused on improving quality and convenience. With investments in technology and operations, we offer omni-channel access to your Panera favorites – like mobile ordering, catering, and Rapid Pick-Up® for to-go orders, Curbside pick-up and delivery – all designed to make things easier for our guests.
Today, Panera operates as both Panera Bread® or Saint Louis Bread Co St. Louis Bread Company in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Canada.
Panera Bread is privately held by JAB Holding Company. Panera Bread is part of Panera Brands, one of the largest fast-casual restaurant platforms in the U.S., comprised of Panera Bread®, Caribou Coffee® and Einstein Bros.® Bagels.
