Senior Engineering Manager

At Lineage, we’re transforming temperature-controlled logistics to eliminate waste, improve sustainability, and ensure food reaches the people who need it most. Recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies and featured on CNBC’s Disruptor 50, we’re at the forefront of innovation in the global food supply chain.

Technology is core to how we operate—and to how we differentiate. Rather than scaling a massive engineering organization, we’ve built a highly skilled, focused team that brings together the right blend of talent, curiosity, and technical depth. We combine open-source technologies, cloud services, proprietary tools, and strategic partnerships to move fast and build impactful solutions. Our systems power mission-critical workflows across Lineage’s global network. From warehouse operations to algorithmic optimization, we’re building modern, scalable platforms that support our people, serve our customers, and enable growth. At the heart of that work is our purpose: to transform the food supply chain and help feed the world.

This is a hands-on engineering leadership role—ideal for someone who thrives in complex, high-impact environments and is eager to shape the future of supply chain technology at global scale.
