About The Role
We are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager, Acquisition & Conversion to join the Service Monetization organization and lead a product-facing engineering team focused on helping more prospective fans discover the value of Crunchyroll, engage with the product, and convert into registered, trialing, or paying customers. Reporting to the Vice President of Engineering, Service Monetization, this leader will own engineering execution for a domain directly tied to acquisition and conversion outcomes. The team’s scope includes acquisition funnel experiences, onboarding into paid or trial experiences, campaign landing flows, conversion experimentation, promotional entry points, and adjacent product surfaces that influence conversion performance. This role is intentionally close to the business. The Acquisition & Conversion domain is designed to move quickly, stay close to product and commercial priorities, and partner tightly with Product, Product Design, Business, Go-to-Market, Legal, Data, and peer engineering teams on near-term growth opportunities. Success in this role requires strong execution, sound judgment, and strong people leadership. This leader will independently guide the team through ambiguity, set clear priorities and metrics, improve how customer impact is measured and communicated, and ensure results do not come at the expense of long-term team health, technical quality, or organizational sustainability. Because this domain is expected to respond quickly to changing market conditions, campaigns, promotional strategy, and executive growth priorities, we are primarily considering applicants in Los Angeles, California.
A Day in the Life of our Senior Engineering Manager
- Lead a team responsible for high-impact acquisition and conversion experiences, and drive business results across quarterly and annual goals.
- Set team priorities, goals, expectations, and key metrics at the right altitude, and hold the team accountable for progress.
- Partner closely with Product, Design, Business, Go-to-Market, Legal, Data, and peer engineering teams to shape roadmap decisions and deliver measurable customer and business outcomes.
- Improve outcomes such as funnel completion, registration rate, trial start rate, paid conversion, campaign conversion, experimentation velocity, and launch cycle time.
- Identify and direct the team’s work toward the opportunities that have the greatest impact for Crunchyroll, our fans, and the broader engineering organization.
- Lead the team through ambiguity and shifting priorities with calm, clarity, and strong decision-making.
- Resolve cross-team dependencies and stakeholder misalignments early so the team can move quickly without avoidable friction.
- Build strong operating cadences, require clear success and learning metrics post-launch, and improve how the team measures and communicates customer impact.
- Hire, coach, and grow a healthy, high-performing team by creating equitable growth opportunities, structuring roles clearly, and placing strong technical leaders where they can have the most impact.
- Guide senior engineers and other experienced ICs toward highly leveraged roles that strengthen both the team and the wider organization.
- Hold the team accountable for building secure, reliable, and scalable systems, proactively surfacing technical risks, and aligning software decisions with the broader technical strategy.
- Ensure speed does not create avoidable technical debt by partnering effectively with the Monetization Platform domain, respecting ownership boundaries, and using the right architectural review mechanisms when platform concerns are involved.
- Standardize strong service ownership practices across the team, including documentation, onboarding materials, operational readiness, metrics, alerts, and clear accountability.
About You

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

- Understand how to connect product and engineering work to measurable customer and business impact, and know how to focus teams on the opportunities that matter most.
- Bring strong judgment in balancing speed, quality, technical health, and organizational sustainability.
- Are comfortable partnering on acquisition funnel, onboarding, experimentation, promotion, or other growth-oriented product experiences.
- Can create clarity from ambiguity by setting goals, defining success metrics, establishing ownership, and communicating decisions in a way that creates context and alignment for the team.
- Have strong people leadership skills, including performance management, coaching, hiring, team design, and creating equitable development opportunities for engineers at different levels.
- Can guide senior ICs effectively, represent Crunchyroll well with candidates, and build a strong, diverse, and talented team over time.
- Have solid technical judgment and can review the overall health and engineering quality of a system or collection of features, including architecture, operational metrics, failure modes, and long-term maintainability.
- Care deeply about reliability, security, scale, and operational excellence, and know how to make those expectations part of how a team plans, builds, and runs software.
- Value inclusive leadership, psychological safety, clear communication, and a culture where dissenting views are heard, standards stay high, and people can do their best work.

Engineering Manager Jobs in Los Angeles: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a engineering manager job in Los Angeles?
Target the sectors that hire most in Los Angeles: aerospace and defense primes in the South Bay, entertainment technology companies in Burbank and Culver City, and software and fintech firms concentrated in Silicon Beach. Candidates who stand out here typically show experience managing distributed or cross-functional teams and can point to shipping products in a fast-moving consumer or enterprise environment. Networking through local tech meetups and industry events in Playa Vista and downtown also opens doors that cold applications rarely do.
Which companies hire engineering managers in Los Angeles?
Companies currently hiring engineering managers in Los Angeles include Riot Games, Riot Games, and Snap, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. The local market draws a wide range of employer types, from major aerospace contractors and entertainment studios building out their technology divisions to venture-backed startups scaling product and infrastructure teams.
Are there remote engineering manager jobs in Los Angeles?
Yes, though remote availability varies by sector. About 23% of engineering manager openings tied to Los Angeles are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with fully remote roles more common at software and platform companies than at aerospace or on-site infrastructure teams. In Los Angeles specifically, hybrid arrangements are most frequent among Silicon Beach-based tech employers who still maintain physical offices but offer schedule flexibility.
How can I get a engineering manager job in Los Angeles with little or no experience?
The most realistic path in Los Angeles is moving into the role from a senior individual contributor position at a local startup or mid-size tech company, where the gap between engineer and manager is narrowest. Employers in the entertainment technology and gaming sectors in Burbank and Culver City regularly promote strong technical leads into first-time management roles. Building a record of cross-team coordination and mentorship before applying makes the transition easier to argue in an interview.
Which industries hire the most engineering managers in Los Angeles?
Most engineering manager openings in Los Angeles sit in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Manufacturing, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Los Angeles's unique mix of aerospace heritage, a massive entertainment industry investing in technology, and a growing Silicon Beach software cluster means engineering management demand is spread across sectors that few other cities combine in one labor market.
