Instacart is the North American leader in online grocery, and we’re building the operating system for the grocery industry so people can access the food they love and more time to enjoy it together.
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Catalog Enrichment team. This team builds the AI-native platform and pipelines that create, enrich, and maintain product attributes across a catalog of tens of millions of products from more than 100,000 retailer locations. Catalog data is the foundation of our marketplace: when attributes are complete and accurate, search returns the right results, recommendations feel personal, and advertisers can target with confidence.
In this role, you’ll lead a team of engineers building systems that blend large language models, classical inference, workflow orchestration, and human review into configurable pipelines that non-engineers can run. You’ll also own the ML-facing interfaces to catalog data, including policies that govern how attributes are sourced, shared, and licensed across downstream models and customer surfaces. You will partner closely with ML, product, operations, search, ads, and retailer teams to drive measurable impact across Instacart’s ecosystem.
This is a fast-paced, highly cross-functional environment. You’ll thrive if you enjoy building platforms at scale, turning ambiguity into clarity, and mentoring engineers while rolling up your sleeves on hard technical problems.
