Manager, Engineering – API & Integrations (Radiant Connect)
Location Job Type Salary Range Renton, WAFull-Time | On-site $100,000 - $130,000 annually

Job Summary The primary role of the Engineering Manager – API & Integrations is to lead the team, and own the systems, that connect Radiant's operating platforms with each other and with our customers, partners, and internal applications through APIs, event-driven data pipelines, and AI-facing services.

The Engineering Manager is responsible for Radiant Connect, our integration platform built on Node.js/Type Script and AWS. Our SAP Transportation Management (TM) platform is the current center of gravity, but the role spans many system integrations: transportation and freight-forwarding platforms, customer portals, finance and accounting systems, and customer, carrier, and partner applications.

This is a hands-on, player-coach role. The incumbent is expected to contribute production code alongside the team, including design, implementation, and code review on the core platform services, while running the team's sprint process and rituals.

The Engineering Manager is responsible for training, coaching, and motivating team members, and for the accurate, timely delivery of API and integration requests from intake through go-live, as well as ongoing support after go-live.

The incumbent exercises consistent and independent judgment and decision making while leading and motivating employees to meet customer integration requirements, delivery commitments, and a high standard of platform reliability.

Key Responsibilities The key duties and responsibilities of this position consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

Leadership Accountabilities Ensure team members are appropriately trained and performing to the standards of their role through ongoing coaching, feedback, and performance management.

Recruit, interview (including technical interviews), onboard, and develop engineers in the U.S. and Cebu, Philippines. Support career growth and set quarterly objectives (MBOs) for the team.

Assign tasks and duties on new and ongoing projects. Run the team's agile cadence: two-week sprints, daily stand-ups, backlog grooming, and retrospectives.

Set team goals and objectives aligned with the company's technology strategy. Own the team's portfolio initiatives and report status to leadership.

Identify team staffing needs and support budgeting, including quarterly capitalized-labor (Cap Ex) time reporting.

Keep company peers and team members informed of platform changes, integration impacts, and industry developments. Facilitate cross-team technical forums such as dev-lead stand-ups, design reviews, and code-review sessions.

Job Specific Accountabilities Hands-on engineering & platform ownership

Contribute production code as an active member of the team: design, build, test, and ship features and fixes on the core integration services.

Own the architecture, roadmap, and quality of the Radiant Connect services: system and customer-facing APIs (including version lifecycle and deprecation), SDKs, document routing, and Kafka-based ETL/change-data pipelines with replay and tombstone handling.

Act as the primary technical counterpart to the development teams that own connected platforms such as SAP TM: define API requirements, test and validate new endpoints, file defects, and coordinate promotions from test to production.

Act as the code-review and staging-release gate for the team's repositories. Prepare changes for production approval and set coding, testing, and documentation standards.

Own and evolve the team's AI-facing services (e.g., MCP servers that expose integration capabilities to AI tools) and the evaluation practices that keep them safe and reliable for…
