About the role
Gartner is seeking a high-energy Software Engineering Manager to lead our Client Experience & Platform Team. This role is designed for a versatile technical leader who thrives at the intersection of robust systems engineering and high-performance user interfaces. You will lead a high-impact pod of engineers dedicated to building the full-stack infrastructure and integrated experiences that serve as the primary gateway to our AI and Search insights. You are a leader who prioritizes end-to-end ownership , ensuring that every layer of the stack-from data retrieval to the final pixel-is architecturally sound, scalable, and optimized for a global client base. You bridge the gap between complex system design and intuitive delivery, ensuring technical excellence across the entire lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Team Leadership & Accountability: Lead a team of 5-8 developers, fostering a culture of high ownership and professional growth. You will be responsible for the day-to-day management and performance of the team, maintaining a high bar for code quality across frontend / backend domains.
- Full-Stack Delivery: Oversee the execution of cross-functional projects, ensuring seamless integration between sophisticated data sources (AI/Search) and the client-facing interfaces that surface them.
- Stakeholder Partnership: Work closely with Product, UX Design, and Data teams to define technical feasibility, break down complex requirements into executable sprints, and manage delivery timelines.
- Operational Excellence: Drive the "Shift Left" strategy by implementing comprehensive automated testing (unit, integration, and UI), visual regression suites, and robust CI/CD pipelines.
- Strategic Alignment: Translate the business roadmap into actionable technical tasks, ensuring the team is focused on high-impact features that improve the overall client experience and system reliability.
Requirements
- Experience: 7-8+ years of total experience in Software Engineering, with at least 1-2 years in a formal Engineering Management or Team Lead role with direct people-management responsibilities.
- Cloud Expertise: Hands-on experience with Cloud environments (AWS or Azure) and containerization technologies. You should be comfortable managing cloud-native services and ensuring scalable, secure deployments.
- Architectural Fluency: Proven experience designing and consuming scalable REST APIs while understanding how those designs impact client-side state management and performance.
- Communication & Influence: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. You must be able to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and influence decision-making across product and design teams.
- Managerial Foundations: A track record of driving accountability, handling performance reviews, and providing technical mentorship within a multi-disciplinary engineering team.
- Ownership Mindset: A proactive approach to problem-solving and "owning" the production health of the entire stack, from service stability to user-facing performance.
- Process Mindset: Expert familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and a track record of improving team velocity and deployment frequency through better engineering practices.
- Nice to Have / Opportunity to Learn:
- Experience with other frontend frameworks and libraries.
- Knowledge of distributed systems, micro-frontend architectures, or managing shared component libraries.
- Exposure to server-side rendering (SSR) techniques and modern observability tools.
