Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• As Senior Engineering Manager for Container Controlplane, you will lead the engineering team responsible for building, operating, and evolving Target’s Managed Containers controlplane. You will co-lead the function with your US counterpart, manage the Target India team, and help shape the technical and operational direction of the platform.
• This is a balanced leadership role. You will be expected to provide strong people leadership, delivery execution, and technical guidance. You will not simply manage a backlog. You will help make decisions about platform APIs, placement logic, deployment workflows, workload health, access control, sidecar behavior, and the gradual evolution of the platform as Target modernizes how container workloads are orchestrated across supported environments.
• You will help establish the new sister team in TI, partner closely with the US leader counterpart, and jointly drive roadmap execution for the second half of 2026. A key priority for the team will be helping accelerate Availability Zone adoption as part of Data Center Modernization.
• You will also help the team evolve capabilities currently owned by the controlplane, including spinning off inherited capabilities where appropriate and reducing dependency on HashiCorp services such as Consul and Vault as Target scales its container workload platform.
• You Will Be Accountable For
• Team leadership: Leading, coaching, and developing a growing engineering team responsible for Container Controlplane capabilities in Target India.
• Managed Containers delivery: Shipping reliable, scalable, and secure control plane capabilities that support the Managed Containers experience in TAP.
• Deployment orchestration: Owning the deployment pipeline and orchestration services used to create, update, and delete Managed Container workloads across supported locations.
• Platform API delivery: Delivering high-quality backend platform services and APIs that provide a consistent, self-service experience for Target engineering teams.
• Workload placement and control: Maintaining and improving the placement engine for workloads across supported environments, including on-prem, GCP, stores, and distribution centers.

Who can apply

• Our strategic thesis: Managed Containers are not just a deployment abstraction. They are a platform capability that must make it easy for Target teams to run applications wherever the business needs them, while still providing strong reliability, security, and operational consistency across a highly distributed environment.
