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

- 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 Senior Manager Jobs in Los Angeles: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a engineering senior manager job in Los Angeles?
Focus on sectors that define Los Angeles engineering hiring: aerospace and defense firms in the South Bay, media technology companies in Culver City and Hollywood, and clean energy and infrastructure players downtown. Candidates with experience leading cross-functional teams on large-scale hardware or systems programs stand out. Familiarity with defense contracting environments or entertainment technology platforms gives you a concrete edge over generalist applicants competing in this market.
Which companies hire engineering senior managers in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles engineering senior manager roles are posted by Riot Games, Riot Games, and Deloitte and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. The Los Angeles market draws heavily from established aerospace primes, defense contractors in the South Bay, and a growing set of tech-forward studios and clean energy developers headquartered locally.
Are there remote engineering senior manager jobs in Los Angeles?
Yes, though with limits, since engineering senior managers often oversee on-site teams, hardware programs, or lab environments that require physical presence. About 19% of engineering senior manager openings tied to Los Angeles are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with most flexibility concentrated in software engineering management and systems architecture rather than hands-on manufacturing or defense roles.
How can I get a engineering senior manager job in Los Angeles with little or no experience?
The most realistic path in Los Angeles is moving into a senior manager role from a lead engineer or engineering manager position at a local aerospace, defense, or technology employer. Companies in the South Bay and El Segundo corridor regularly develop internal candidates through program lead assignments. Building visibility on large defense or infrastructure programs, then stepping into a team lead role, is the most direct route to a senior manager title locally.
Which industries hire the most engineering senior managers in Los Angeles?
The sectors hiring the most engineering senior managers in Los Angeles are Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Gaming & Esports, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Los Angeles's concentration of aerospace primes, defense contractors, and a fast-growing clean technology and media infrastructure sector makes it one of the more active engineering leadership markets on the West Coast.
