Instacart’s Logistics organization powers the end-to-end fulfillment engine behind our four-sided marketplace. The Logistics Serving team is the backbone of order fulfillment, operating core systems that Shoppers, Customers, Retailers, and internal teams rely on every day—including Dispatching and Assignments, Geospatial and Mapping, Service Options, Shopper Pay and Consumer Pricing, and ML Foundations interfaces.
We’re seeking a Senior Manager, Software Engineering to directly lead the Logistics Serving team, guide technical strategy, and deliver reliable, scalable, and flexible systems that support Fulfillment for the decade ahead. You’ll partner closely with Logistics Foundations to build platform capabilities, collaborate with adjacent Logistics teams to drive growth and efficiency, and work with enterprise teams to deliver sustainable retailer customizations.
This is a highly technical leadership role. You’ll dive deep into service architectures, code, engineering designs, metrics, and incident data, and facilitate rigorous technical discussions that elevate the bar for reliability and product velocity. You will directly manage 10+ engineers, collaborate with PMs, data scientists, and operations partners, and influence a broader org of 75–80 engineers within Logistics. This role is remote-friendly across the US and Canada, with a preference for the SF Bay Area or Toronto.
