Software Engineering Manager [Remote]

Together, we share a collective passion and vision to protect consumers and help them grow, manage and secure their digital and financial lives. We’re always looking for smart, fearless and high-impact talent who see AI as a teammate – leveraging it to move faster and deliver meaningful results.

When you’re part of Gen, you’ll have the flexibility, tools and support to do your best work and grow your career – from flexible working options and time off to competitive pay, benefits and well-being programs.

At Gen, we are scrappy and relentlessly customer driven. We create room for healthy debate, experimentation and continuous learning, and we seek out people with different experiences, identities and ideas to join our team. You’ll work with people who back each other, respect each other and understand that our differences are a competitive advantage.

If this sounds like you, we’d love you to be part of Gen.

We're seeking a Software Engineering Manager with a strong background in software application development and a forward-looking approach to AI-driven engineering. You will lead a team of highly talented full stack developers, responsible for the development and delivery of the self-service tools and experiences behind Norton's public-facing customer support portal.

You will collaborate with product managers, architects, data scientists, and business partners to design, develop, and deliver solutions that meet functional requirements and exceed systems performance expectations. You will champion the responsible integration of AI capabilities into our products and engineering workflows, helping the team move faster without sacrificing quality or safety.

Additional duties include technical solution review, design documents, functional specifications, hiring, and promoting industry best practices, including emerging best practices around AI systems.
