QXO • Seattle, WA • 1h ago

QXO is a leading distributor and installer of building products serving an $800 billion market.

QXO is North America's largest distributor and installer of insulation, the second-largest distributor of roofing products, the second-largest publicly traded distributor of lumber and building materials, and the largest distributor of waterproofing products. The company is targeting $50 billion in annual revenue within the decade through accretive acquisitions and organic growth. For more information, visit QXO.com.

What you'll do:

QXO is building the technology platform for the building products distribution industry, and we are making real investments in technology to streamline our business and better serve our customers in the distribution space.

We are hiring a Senior Manager of Software Engineering to lead multiple squads in this space. You will sit with business leaders to shape the problem, set the roadmap for your squads, and make the calls on sequencing and tradeoffs rather than waiting for finished requirements to arrive. You will own delivery of new system integrations and features that strip friction out of real business processes, and you will be measured on the business outcomes those systems produce.

You will join a technical organization actively evolving its use of AI, and push that work further in your squads. AI has the potential to reduce our waiting, experiment more quickly, and test our ideas at a rate that has historically not been possible. Your job is to expand what your squads can do without waiting on anyone, and to give engineers real ownership of their domains.

This role is for an engineering leader who does not shy away from ownership and is ready to bring clarity to problems that are not yet clearly defined. You will set a culture of urgency and high standards, hire people who raise the bar, and hold quality steady as the pace goes up. If you want to decide what matters and see it land with customers in weeks rather than quarters, this is the job.

Key Responsibilities

Bring clarity to ambiguous problem domains and drive solutions alongside business and technical partners

Go deep on technical details with your team when needed, and translate that work clearly for business stakeholders

Balance new feature delivery against operational priorities across your squads

Mentor and grow the engineers on your team

Identify and advance opportunities in AI/ML, personalization, and emerging technology that strengthen QXO's capabilities

Implement and reinforce best practices for reliability, observability, performance, scalability, and incident management

What you'll bring:

Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.

Experience: 7+ years in software engineering, including experience leading engineering teams. Proven success delivering features to market at scale. Strong foundation in distributed systems, event-driven architecture, data modeling, and data consistency (compensating transactions, aggregate boundaries, sagas).

What Will Set You Apart

Experience leading engineering teams in eCommerce, fintech, or large-scale consumer platforms

Experience working directly with stakeholders to identify gaps and build solutions

Experience in an enterprise environment where your core customers are often internal

What you'll earn

Base pay range: $200,000 - $275,000

Annual performance bonus

Long term incentive (equity/stock)

401(k) with employer match

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

PTO, company holidays, and parental leave

Paid Time Off/Paid Sick Leave: Applicants can expect to accrue 15 days of paid time off during their first year (4.62 hours for every 80 hours worked) and increased accruals after five years of service.

Paid training and certifications

Legal assistance and identity protection

Pet insurance

Employee assistance program (EAP)

Work Environment

Office-based, remote, or hybrid work environment

Standard business hours with occasional extended hours during peak cycles

Quiet office with regular computer and phone use

Physical Requirements

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
