Chamberlain Group (CG) is a global leader in intelligent access and Blackstone portfolio company. Powered by our myQ technology, we make access simple and secure for millions of homeowners, businesses, and communities worldwide. Our flagship brands, Lift Master  and Chamberlain , are found in 51+ million homes, and 14 million+ people rely on the myQ  app daily.

This position is responsible for the senior technical leadership and day-to-day management of multiple front end software engineering teams supporting the myQ platform. The scope encompasses iOS, Android, and web applications, along with the interfaces those clients maintain with middleware and back-end services. The Senior Manager translates multi-year product and platform strategy into executable engineering plans while maintaining accountability for on-time, on-budget, and high-quality delivery across all managed teams.

This position is responsible for defining and enforcing architectural standards across client, middleware, and back-end system boundaries — ensuring front-end teams build thin, display-focused clients that delegate business logic to centralized services. The incumbent operates as a player-coach: delegating architecture and technical design decisions to senior engineers when appropriate, and personally driving technical direction when the situation demands it. In some configurations, this role also carries accountability for coordinating multi-domain integration efforts that involve Firmware engineering and span multiple organizational boundaries.

This position is responsible for the recruiting, developing, and direct supervision of Software Engineering Managers and/or Software Engineers. The Senior Manager leads operational excellence across all managed teams — setting standards for reliability, observability, and engineering rigor — and makes the strategic, long term technology decisions that reflect the health of the platform. This role reports to the Director of Software Engineering.

Job Responsibilities:

* Own operational excellence and engineering rigor across all managed front-end teams; ensure on-time, on-budget, high-quality delivery across multiple concurrent programs; maintain and participate in on-call rotation as needed to support production system reliability
* Responsible for 18-to-24-month project forecasting across all managed teams; accountable for resource planning, capacity management, and direct reports' project time accounting
* Responsible for the functional design approach and technical feasibility for projects spanning multiple teams; know when to delegate architecture and technical design to senior engineers and when to personally drive and set the standard
* Ensure functional process compliance and maintain standards-based documentation across conceptual, logical, and physical architectural views
* Responsible for meeting and monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) across all managed functional groups; escalate risks and drive resolution
* Maintain and enforce sound architectural boundaries between client, middleware, and back-end systems; ensure front-end teams build display-focused clients that delegate business logic to centralized services
* Ensure architectural principles and standards are clearly defined, documented, communicated, and maintained across project and product life cycles
* Manage the code branching strategy and release process, and drive maturity of multi-platform CI/CD processes and tooling, across development, QA, and production stages
* Establish and maintain standards for UI consistency, observability, and accessibility across all managed front-end products and critical paths
* Execute 3-to-5-year technology roadmap projects and maintain alignment with myQ platform strategy and business objectives
* Responsible for annual expense and capital budget planning and tracking across all managed teams
* Monitor and create development plans for direct reports that strengthen core competencies of the functional area
* Review and approve…
