## About the role

As Senior Engineering Manager for DC Buying, you'll lead engineering for Afresh's AI-powered fresh buying product. Buyers at grocery distribution centers use it to decide what to buy, how much, and when. Every order a DC buyer places determines what lands in the stores it serves. Get it right and shelves stay full and less food goes to waste across the whole network. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Build strong relationships with peer engineering leaders across platform, data and AI, so DC benefits from shared tooling instead of reinventing it
- Own the DC Buying roadmap with product, design and science leads. Balance customer asks, technical investment and business goals
- Know the business deeply. Understand what matters to users, moves key metrics and how to delight customers
- Make clean commitments, internally and with customers, then hit them. Tell people early when something is going to slip
