Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Manager, Software Engineering - **Company:** Royal Caribbean Group - **Location:** Miami, FL, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Computer Engineering, Distributed Systems, Python (Programming Language), Secure Coding, Software Engineering, TypeScript, Large Language Models - **Published:** August 24, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=5fae51af292ab534 ## About the Role * 7+ years building production software including time as an individual contributor at the senior or staff level and several years leading engineering teams * Demonstrable production experience shipping AI agents - systems that reason call tools retrieve from knowledge sources and improve through eval-driven iteration POCs and demos don't count; a portfolio of real eval design is worth more than a list of frameworks on a résumé * Strong opinions on agentic system design: when an LLM call is the right answer and when it isn't; when to add a tool versus compose a sub-agent; how memory should flow across sessions; where deterministic logic earns its place inside a probabilistic system; how cost latency and quality trade against each other * Hands-on with modern agentic frameworks (LangGraph Anthropic SDK OpenAI Agents or equivalents) and adjacent patterns: MCP RAG vector stores structured outputs prompt caching and modern eval tooling * Production engineering depth: Python and/or TypeScript distributed systems cloud platforms (AWS preferred) CI/CD observability and secure development practices in a SOX-regulated environment * Track record managing in fast-paced complex organizations where the right answer changes and the bar for delivery doesn't * Exceptional communication - comfortable with executive and engineering audiences technical and non-technical stakeholders * High ownership low ego strong tolerance for ambiguity Coaches and grows talent rather than gatekeeping it Bachelor's in Computer Science Engineering * or related field required; Master's preferred ## Description The Royal Caribbean Group's Global E-Commerce Team has an exciting career opportunity for a full time Engineering Manager reporting to the Engineering Director, We're building new digital customer experiences powered by the latest AI innovations - and we're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team behind them You'll be hands-on enough to make the architectural calls write the spec when it matters and review the PRs that decide the shape of the work - and grounded enough as a leader to coach a senior bench set the engineering bar and make the trade-offs that keep us shipping This isn't a research team It isn't a chatbot It's a production engineering team building real systems for real customers in a complex regulated environment with the autonomy to make the right technical decisions and the support to execute them, Lead a team of senior engineers building new digital customer experiences powered by the latest AI innovations - set direction unblock mentor * and grow the bench Make the architectural decisions that matter most: where to apply AI versus deterministic logic how systems should be evaluated and monitored over time what to build versus buy * and how the work integrates cleanly into a complex enterprise environment Set the engineering bar - spec-driven development eval-led iteration modern AI-assisted workflows * and the kind of rigor that lets us ship non-deterministic systems with confidence Partner closely with product design data * and security to deliver experiences our guests actually love Recruit grow * and retain a team of senior engineers who operate at that bar without being micromanaged * Translate cleanly between senior leadership and hands-on engineering - adjusting register without losing substance in either direction ## Related Videos - [The AI-Native Engineering Org: What’s Real, What’s Hype, What’s Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100004-the-ai-native-engineering-org-what-s-real-what-s-hype-what-s-next) - [Containers in the cloud - State of the Art in 2022](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/410-containers-in-the-cloud-state-of-the-art-in-2022) - [How to Cause (or Prevent) a Massive Data Breach- Secure Coding and IDOR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/39-how-to-cause-or-prevent-a-massive-data-breach-secure-coding-and-idor) - [Do TypeScript without TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/327-do-typescript-without-typescript) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Reliable scalability: How Amazon.com scales on AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/983-reliable-scalability-how-amazon-com-scales-on-aws) ## Related Articles - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai)
