Software Engineering Group Manager

Digital products play a central role in how we create value for customers, support the teams who serve them, and shape the consumer experience.

Our Product and Engineering organization brings together small, empowered teams that move with clarity, speed, and purpose, enabling digital to be a meaningful source of advantage across Coca-Cola’s North America Operating Unit.

Our work spans customer journeys, service delivery, sales workflows, and the platforms that connect them. We are raising our standards for product craft and rebuilding the systems behind these experiences.

As a Software Engineering Group Manager, you will lead multiple engineers across full stack, front end, and back‑end disciplines to deliver customer‑facing and internal products in a product operating model. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Architecture to shape strategy, build durable platforms, and deliver measurable outcomes.

This role is for leaders who can grow strong teams, raise engineering standards, and guide technical direction—while staying close enough to the work to make sound architectural and delivery decisions.

At Coca‑Cola, engineers have the opportunity to build products at meaningful scale—shaping the digital experiences, platforms, and intelligent systems that power how we serve customers, enable field teams and partners, support sales, and drive transaction growth across one of the world’s most recognized brands. Depending on the team, you could work on connected service tools that improve resolution speed and reliability, data and API platforms that unlock growth and decisioning, customer and operational experiences that reduce friction across workflows, or sales products that equip teams with better visibility, insights, and execution capabilities.

This is a chance to join at a pivotal moment: helping define modern engineering practices, influence product direction, and build high‑impact solutions in empowered, cross‑functional teams where your work directly connects to business performance and customer outcomes.

You’ll be part of a dedicated, cross‑functional team (Product, Design, Engineering) that is:

• Empowered to solve problems, not just build features
• Accountable for outcomes, not output
• Collaborative by default, from discovery through delivery
• Continuously learning, using data and customer insight to improve

• Manage and coach a group of full‑stack, front‑end, and back‑end engineers through technical leadership and professional development
• Play a key role in building out your Software Engineering Team; bring a strong technical perspective to help the team identify what is feasible, what is valuable, and what is worth building
• Challenge assumptions and propose alternative solutions that are simpler, faster, or more impactful
• Partner with Product Management and Design to frame problems, define outcomes, and translate strategy into an executable roadmap
• Align cross‑team dependencies and coordinate delivery across multiple services and applications
• Communicate status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders; make decisions that optimize for customer and business impact
• Make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, scalability, maintainability, and cost
• Ensure alignment with broader platform and enterprise architecture where appropriate
• Guide architecture and technical direction across front‑end, back‑end, and platform capabilities; ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable
• Partner with Data Engineering and Data Analytics to enable reliable data products, feature pipelines, and ML‑powered experiences where they create measurable value
• Establish engineering standards for APIs, UI architecture, data contracts, and eventing; ensure alignment with enterprise and platform architecture
• Own technical risk management (security, privacy, resiliency, cost); surface tradeoffs and investment needs early
• Ensure strong engineering practices, including testing, observability, and CI/CD
• Maintain a high bar for code quality and system design through reviews and hands‑on contribution
• Drive continuous improvement of the product through iteration,…
