CSC Generation Enterprise (CSC) is an AI-enabled multi-brand platform that acquires and transforms retailers into profitable, digital-first, consumer-centric businesses. CSC's retail platform is purpose built around its core M&A strategy and drives alpha by encoding revenue growth, unit margin management, and other expert-level retail practices into automation and AI. CSC owns and operates more than 10 retail, eCommerce, and wholesale brands, including Sur La Table, Backcountry, and One Kings Lane.
As a Software Engineering Manager, you will take a hands-on role to design technical approaches, contribute as an individual, and help build our team(s). We expect every member of the team, including you, to be regularly reading and writing code. You should like to code, profile, tinker, refactor, and engineer, not just manage people. Because our Engineering Managers are expected to be at least 50% hands on, our interview process includes coding challenges. You should still be close to the code and your technical skills, enough that you feel comfortable problem solving directly alongside engineers on your team and mentoring junior engineers.
This position will report into the Chief Technology Officer.
What you get to do every day:
- Serve as the technical owner for your domain or service within our Retail Service Cloud
- Lead the design, development, and implementation of the technical roadmap — from building new features to scaling the platform
- Identify and resolve complex technical challenges while ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability
- Act as the primary technical point of contact, clearly communicating details and pushing back on requests when necessary to maintain quality and focus
- Build and mentor a team of developers, driving productivity, growth, and engineering excellence
- Modernize and optimize our technology stack by replacing legacy code and services
- Architect and implement frameworks that power upcoming projects
- Plan and manage sprints, triage tickets, and contribute to product roadmap discussions
What you bring to the role:
- Passion for helping engineering teams execute successfully on ambitious product roadmaps
- Strong sense of technical ownership and pride in delivering high-quality, scalable solutions
- Collaborative mindset — you thrive among other senior developers who challenge and inspire you
- Proficiency in modern frameworks and languages such as TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, or Django
- Problem-solving approach that focuses on finding the best solution, not just one that works
- Must be at least 50% hands on while also driving broader technical strategy
What’s in it for you?
- Joining CSC Generation isn’t just about having a seat at the table — it’s about helping redesign the table entirely. You’ll be challenged, stretched, and supported as you grow faster than you thought possible.
- Executive Access: Work directly with brand CEOs and senior leadership, solving real business problems and earning mentorship from top operators
- AI-First Skill Building: Get hands-on with the most advanced AI tools in the market. From automation to prompt engineering, you’ll build a modern tech stack that sets you apart in any industry
- Accelerated Career Path: High performers are quickly entrusted with greater responsibility, new challenges, and leadership opportunities across our portfolio of brands
- Competitive Benefits: Paid time off policies, 401(k)/RRSP match, medical/dental/vision coverage, supplemental insurance options, and employee discounts across our portfolio companies
In addition to competitive compensation, we offer:
Our interview process:
- 📞 Step 1: If you align with our vision and meet the qualifications, we’ll reach out to schedule a conversation and introduce CSC
- 🧠 Step 2: You’ll complete a short AI or product-building challenge so we can understand how you approach problems and execution
- 💬 Step 3: Participate in deep-dive interviews with CSC leadership focused on your experience, product mindset, and operational thinking
- 📩 Step 4:Offer — we move fast for the right candidate
