The opportunity

Target pairs fast-growing engineering challenges with the autonomy to solve them, and we need an Engineering Manager to dive in. Own your projects, earn $120,000 - $187,000, and grow with a team that turns 7 years of Cypress into real results.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ship the documentation-first Cypress features that move Target's technology roadmap forward
  • Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Cross-Functional Collaboration libraries
  • Automate the manual gRPC chores that quietly drain Aurora, IL engineering hours
  • Wrangle Adaptability config across environments so Aurora staging mirrors production
  • Spike an Express.js proof of concept fast when Target needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Chase down the gRPC integration that silently drops Target events at midnight
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture

What You'll Bring

  • 8+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
  • A point of view, held loosely and defended well
  • Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards
  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork

Target builds the unglamorous technology plumbing that Aurora, IL relies on, and it does so with candor-rich pride. Psychological safety is something we actively build, so disagreeing in good faith is encouraged.

The package is honest: $120,000 - $187,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in Aurora, IL.

Confirmed unfilled today, Target continues its search in real time.

Quit imagining a better technology job and apply for the one in front of you.
