Engineering Manager, Retail Media - US Remote

QSIC is reinventing in-store audio. We use Audio, Intelligence (AI) and Creativity to redefine the value of in-store audio and drive growth for retailers and brands. Our story began in Australia over a decade ago with a love for music and a simple purpose : to create value that others can't see. We sought to bring that to life through exceptional audio experiences, so we built the leading intelligent in-store audio platform for retailers and brands. At QSIC, in-store audio has never been just "background noise." Audio has the power to change the atmosphere, spark emotion and shift the atmosphere. When it's seamlessly woven into an in-store experience, it doesn't just play it connects. It engages shoppers without distracting them, influences decisions where it matters most, and elevates the entire shopping journey. Today, QSIC technology powers thousands of stores across three continents, reaching over 100 million shoppers each month.

QSIC's Ad Platform removes the friction of ad production, and instantly creates targeted, brand-aligned messaging with AI. Advertisers can use our Planning solution to eliminate guesswork by having their messages dynamically placed in the market - at the right time, for maximum impact. Every ad play is recorded and verified, providing unprecedented transparency.

QSIC's In-Store Audio solutions deliver intelligent, scalable and personalised playlists to match brand identities, and automated volume control to adjust for every moment!

QSIC Intelligence provides enhanced targeting, and predicts the right message for every moment using our data-driven insights. The QSIC Intelligence solution includes performance analytics and self-service reporting.

Our motivation is to create value that others don't see. Our promise is to use audio, intelligence and relentless dedication to transform spaces and deliver results. We have team members based in Australia, the United States and Mexico, and received Series B funding in January 2025. We're just getting started!

About the Role

QSIC is looking for an experienced Software Engineering Manager to lead a full stack Product Engineering team which will develop our innovative Retail Media products using Python / Django, React and Golang. As one of the first North America-based Engineering hires outside of our Australia-based, remote-first Engineering team, you will grow and anchor our Product Engineering culture. Day to-day, you will also collaborate closely with the QSIC Dallas office, and other North American-remote team members. This is a fulltime, remote role required to be located in the Pacific or Mountain timezone, to ensure overlap with both our Dallas and Australia teams. This role may be performed from Canada, as a temporary worker engaged via one of QSIC's staffing partners.

A typical week in this role may include :

• Collaborating with your Product and Design peers to guide your team through day-to-day development work using a lightweight agile process.
• Guiding and mentoring your team using 1 : 1s and team ceremonies to ensure that they are productive, motivated, and contributing to the wider QSIC team.
• Helping hire and onboard Engineering talent in partnership with the Global Talent Lead and CTO, both for your team and as part of expanding the QSIC Engineering footprint further in North America.
• Providing technical input into the product discovery process, shaping the roadmap and priorities for your team.
• Collaborating with our Australian team on architecture, engineering practices, and processes, to ensure a high performing Engineering organisation.
• Collaborating with non-technical stakeholders across the business to engage them in the product development process and help them better understand technical projects.

As someone with a background building production-grade web applications, and managing teams that do so, you'll bring a passion for delivering stable, robust software, and a drive to continually improve the experience for our end users. You'll be eager to collaborate through the entire development lifecycle - participating in our product discovery process, contributing to code review and design review practices, and ensuring long term ownership of the products your team ships. You'll be someone who is seeking to grow and learn in a fast-paced technology company, and keen to play a part in supporting QSIC's continued growth and scale, globally.
