Stitch Fix (NASDAQ: SFIX) Stitch Fix is redefining retail by combining human creativity with advanced data science and Generative AI. As we build the future of personalized shopping, we’re equally committed to building yours.  We believe in investing in our team as much as our technology. Join us to be a trendsetter in the industry and help us redefine what’s possible for our clients, while we help you reach your full potential.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Mobile Experience & Platform team at Stitch Fix. This team of approximately 12 engineers drives native iOS development, maintains our Android application, and builds the shared mobile foundations that enable exceptional client experiences. Our Android application primarily delivers web-based experiences within a native wrapper and is focused on ongoing maintenance, reliability, and operational health.

This is a unique engineering leadership opportunity that combines people leadership, platform strategy, and shared product leadership. Our mobile engineers are highly skilled, operate with significant technical autonomy, and contribute to initiatives across multiple product teams. Your role is to create the clarity, alignment, and organizational structure that enables them to do their best work.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead and develop an experienced team: Coach, mentor, and support approximately 12 engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous growth.
  • Shape the mobile experience and platform roadmap: Develop a compelling mobile vision and partner with Product and Engineering leadership to prioritize investments that balance native client experiences, platform modernization, and long-term engineering health.
  • Lead shared product strategy: In the absence of a dedicated Mobile Product Manager, play a key role in identifying opportunities for mobile-first innovation, leveraging native device capabilities (such as push notifications, widgets, and Live Activities), and using data and client insights to shape investments.
  • Orchestrate engineering capacity: Partner with leaders across multiple product teams to understand priorities, anticipate demand, allocate engineers effectively across concurrent initiatives, and communicate delivery commitments and tradeoffs.
  • Drive platform and operational excellence: Ensure the reliability, performance, and long-term sustainability of our mobile applications. Oversee native iOS development infrastructure, testing, release management, and platform modernization, while ensuring Android remains stable, secure, and well-maintained.
  • Empower technical experts: Create an environment where senior and staff engineers have the autonomy, context, and support to make sound architectural and technical decisions aligned with business goals.
  • Build cross-functional alignment: Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, Design, Algorithms, and other partners to align priorities, navigate dependencies, and deliver cohesive client experiences.
  • Advance engineering effectiveness through AI: Champion practical AI adoption in engineering workflows to improve developer productivity, software quality, and delivery effectiveness.
  • Create operational clarity: Establish lightweight processes for portfolio visibility, capacity planning, and prioritization so engineers and stakeholders understand commitments and dependencies.
  • Collaborate as a distributed team: Work effectively across a distributed US team leveraging modern tooling (GitHub, Slack, Zoom) within an organization that treats data as a first-class citizen.

About You

  • Proven People Leadership: You have significant experience leading and developing software engineers—including senior and staff levels—with demonstrated success managing teams holding broad technical and organizational responsibilities.
  • Product-Minded Engineering Leader: You combine engineering leadership with strong product instincts. You are comfortable shaping roadmaps, building business cases, and guiding product direction without a dedicated product manager.
  • Data-Informed Decision Maker: You use quantitative data, client insights, and key engineering metrics across adoption, engagement, reliability, and performance to identify opportunities and evaluate outcomes.
  • Resource and Delivery Orchestrator: You have demonstrated success managing engineering capacity, expectations, and delivery across multiple concurrent initiatives, product teams, and stakeholders.
  • Empowering and Trust-Oriented: You build trust, delegate effectively, and create high accountability without micromanaging technical decisions.
  • Strategic and Technically Sound: You possess strong technical judgment and can partner effectively with senior engineers on architecture, performance, security, and trade-offs. You balance near-term delivery needs with long-term platform health.
  • Clear Communicator and Influencer: You excel at navigating ambiguity, communicating tradeoffs transparently, and influencing decisions across organizational boundaries.
  • Forward-Looking Technologist: You have practical experience adopting AI tools and workflows to enhance engineering effectiveness.
  • Domain Background: You bring experience in mobile application development, client-facing engineering, developer platforms, or similarly complex engineering environments.
  • Team-Centric Mindset: You care deeply about fostering inclusive, healthy, and high-performing engineering cultures where people grow and do their best work.
