Senior Manager, Software Engineering (Edge)

Seattle, Washington, United States
The Company
 
Metropolis is an artificial intelligence company that uses computer vision technology to enable frictionless, checkout-free experiences in the real world. Today, we are reimagining parking to enable millions of consumers to just "drive in and drive out." We envision a future where people transact in the real world with a speed, ease and convenience that is unparalleled, even online. Tomorrow, we will power checkout-free experiences anywhere you go to make the everyday experiences of living, working and playing remarkable - giving us back our most valuable asset, time.
 
The Role
 
Metropolis is seeking a Senior Manager to lead software engineering for the Edge Platform: the mission critical backend platform that consumes and organizes event data from our field-deployed hardware and ML systems. We are developing and deploying a broad suite of technologies that enable “AI for the Real World” including cameras, edge compute, sensors, displays, and robotics. In this role, you will lead a team of software engineers to support existing systems and develop the next-generation of the Edge platform. The Edge team integrates real-time hardware events and machine learning outputs into a core mobility identification platform, creating a rich data stream that powers Metropolis applications. As a senior member of the Advanced Technologies organization, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of the platform that not only consumes all of the information from those edge systems, but creates the foundational structures on top of which Metropolis builds remarkable experiences for parking and new verticals. You will work closely with other engineering leaders to ensure your team is balancing a mission critical system with delivering new capabilities that power Metropolis into a future well beyond parking!
 
Responsibilities 
  • Lead the Edge team to design and build backend software solutions that enable an expanding edge device ecosystem.
  • Work closely with cross-functional leaders in Hardware, Machine Learning, and other engineering teams to ensure alignment on edge initiatives.
  • Organize the team to support existing edge systems, develop new capabilities, and create a strategy for the future.
  • Guide the team technically, engaging in hands-on troubleshooting, architecture definition and implementation of best practices.
  • Establish robust and right sized processes and mechanisms to ensure the team is freed up to work on building.
  • Develop resourcing plans and coordinate across teams to ensure development schedules are aligned and communicated, and drive engineering efforts to completion.
  • Invest in the career development of team members, develop future leaders, and create a culture of cohesion and teamwork.
  • Participate in talent acquisition processes to ensure that we have world class engineers across all skill and experience levels

Qualifications 

  • BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science or a relevant engineering discipline
  • 8+ years of experience with at least 2+ years of experience leading and managing backend software engineering teams
  • 2+ years of experience as a hands-on senior, staff or principal engineer before transitioning into managing teams
  • Experience as a technical lead or manager designing software systems that have been deployed at scale
  • Experience building distributed backend systems using a variety of service oriented and event driven architectures
  • Deep understanding of modern software design processes across the entire software development lifecycle, including TDD/BDD, CI/CD and related build/test/deploy processes
  • Experience working directly with or adjacent to distributed edge / IoT / hardware / ML systems
  • Working knowledge of Scala, Java or other languages that run on the JVM.
  • Demonstrated project management skills to ensure timely delivery of features, while maintaining high quality products
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to a variety of audiences
  • Previous experience working inside innovative, high growth environments is a plus
 
When you join Metropolis, you’ll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate. Our goal is to build an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and the best idea wins. You will play a key role in building and maintaining this culture as our organization grows. The anticipated base salary for this position is $225,000.00 to $255,000.00 annually. The actual base salary offered is determined by a number of variables, including, as appropriate, the applicant's qualifications for the position, years of relevant experience, distinctive skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location of residence and/or place of employment. Base salary is one component of Metropolis’s total compensation package, which may also include access to or eligibility for healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan, short-term and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance, a lucrative stock option plan, bonus plans and more.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
