Our NetSuite environment supports a complex, multi-subsidiary OneWorld deployment spanning multiple regions globally, serving a make-to-order custom manufacturing operation across multiple industries. The Engineering Manager will set the technical bar for the team, drive architectural decisions, and build the processes and practices that allow the engineering team to deliver at high quality and velocity.
This role reports to the Sr Director of Engineering, IT Systems.
