The role
Established in 1744, Sotheby’s is the world’s premier destination for art and luxury. The engineering that powers it today reflects that same ambition, built on modern technologies and modern practices.
The Engineering Manager will play a critical role in leading the technical delivery of a new platform initiative, owning engineering execution from concept through launch. This individual will partner closely with product, design, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business objectives into scalable technical solutions, define engineering priorities, and drive delivery across multiple workstreams. The role requires a hands-on leader who can navigate ambiguity, build and mentor high-performing teams, establish strong engineering processes, and ensure the successful delivery of a premium product on an ambitious timeline. The ideal candidate is a pragmatic, detail-oriented operator with a track record of managing complex software development efforts, balancing technical excellence with execution, and fostering collaboration in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
