Software Engineering Manager - Frontend & Full-Stack

Software Engineering Manager – Frontend & Full‑Stack Engineering (Hands‑On)

Location: Onsite in Tampa, FL, Mesquite, TX, or Seattle, WA

Ashley is one of the world's largest furniture manufacturers and retailers, serving millions of customers every year. We’re investing heavily in modernizing our digital platform, embracing AI across our business, and building an engineering organization focused on innovation, speed, and technical excellence.

We’re looking for a hands‑on Software Engineering Manager who enjoys building software as much as building teams. Initially you’ll spend roughly 60% of your time writing code while leading a team of 5‑7 engineers. As the organization grows, your focus will naturally evolve toward technical strategy, mentoring, and organizational leadership.

• Modernizing Ashley’s customer‑facing digital platform used by millions of shoppers
• Building highly performant frontend experiences using modern web technologies
• Shaping engineering best practices, architecture, and development standards
• Growing and mentoring a high‑performing engineering team
• Collaborating closely with Product, Design, Data, and AI teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences

We’re looking for someone who has spent years building modern web applications and still enjoys writing code.

You should have:

• 8+ years building modern frontend or full‑stack applications
• Expert‑level JavaScript and Type Script
• Strong experience with React and/or Next.js
• Experience with modern frontend frameworks (Svelte/Svelte Kit – experience is a plus but not required)
• Deep understanding of frontend architecture, performance optimization, and scalable web applications
• Experience designing and consuming REST APIs and/or GraphQL
• Full‑stack experience with Node.js or C#

You're an engineering leader who enjoys coaching others while remaining technically involved.

You bring:

• 3+ years leading software engineering teams
• Experience managing teams of frontend and full‑stack engineers
• A passion for mentoring, hiring, and developing engineers
• Strong experience leading code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision making
• A collaborative leadership style that builds trust and accountability

Experience building customer‑facing digital products is essential.

We’re looking for experience with:

• Retail, e‑commerce, or other high‑traffic consumer web platforms
• Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
• Performance optimization and Core Web Vitals
• Headless commerce or composable architecture
• Modern commerce architectures

Experience with Salesforce Commerce Cloud is preferred but not required. Experience with platforms such as Shopify, Adobe Commerce, Big Commerce, or similar modern commerce solutions is equally valuable.

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
• CI/CD and modern Dev Ops practices
• Docker and Kubernetes
• Test automation and engineering best practices
• Agile software development
• Experience working with distributed engineering teams
