OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the vision, strategy, and execution for our In Store Tasks product. This role sits

at the intersection of shopper experience, retailer and CPG enablement and plays a big role in improving the reliability of

fulfillment for our customers.

Fulfillment quality is a critical driver of customer satisfaction and retailer trust at Instacart. You will define and deliver the

roadmap for Shoppers doing in-store tasks that will enable us to build in-store intelligence to better track inventory, item

location and ultimately fulfill orders accurately, efficiently, and at scale.

This role partners closely with a dedicated team of engineers, designers, and data scientists, and will collaborate broadly across

Shopper and Logistics teams to drive aligned priorities.

This role sits within the Inventory Intelligence team — responsible for the end-to-end technology that powers inventory and

in-store intelligence signals that are used across Instacart's platform and beyond, serving shoppers, retailers, CPGs and

customers alike.

ABOUT THE JOB

This is an exciting opportunity to define the shopper flows using cutting edge CV technologies that build the foundations of our

Instore inventory intelligence. You will develop new capabilities and improve existing products to enable high quality and high

efficiency data collection that can scale to thousands of stores over the next 2 years.

You will own data collection experiences — from how shoppers receive and action tasks in-store, to efficiently collect data for

inventory and store maps, monitoring and optimizing this as we scale.

You will build deep understanding of shopper workflows and operational pain points to design tools that improve scanning

accuracy, speed, and shopper satisfaction

You will work closely with retail partners to ensure our tooling integrates naturally into their in-store environments
You will partner with enterprise sales and retailer success teams to support partner onboarding, drive adoption of new

features, and contribute to shopper, customer and retailer NPS and retention

You will define platform solutions that scale across retailer sizes, store formats.
You will represent the in-store task roadmap with internal stakeholders and, where relevant, with external partners

ABOUT YOU

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

You have 4+ years of product management experience, ideally within operationally complex physical environments
You've built products end-to-end and know how to drive initiatives from early concept through scaled delivery.
You're highly data-literate and comfortable navigating ambiguity with analytical rigor, using data to prioritize ruthlessly and

make sound tradeoffs.

You communicate complex ideas with clarity and influence — aligning cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders around

shared goals without direct authority.

You understand the shopper and retailer experience deeply, and you hold yourself accountable to meaningful customer and

commercial outcomes.

You operate with an entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable moving fast in evolving environments while maintaining high standards.

We're transforming the grocery industry At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers. Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table. Instacart is a Flex First team There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work. OVERVIEW Enterprise Foundations is the engineering team responsible for the architectural and integration work that allows Instacart's Retailer Platform to scale across the world's largest grocers. Our work spans omnichannel integrations — bringing products like FoodStorm catering and Caper Carts onto unified Instacart platform rails — enterprise extensibility (sandbox environments, configuration systems, retailer-facing tooling), and the cross-cutting data isolation work that allows Instacart's ML and Data Engineering teams to safely build per-retailer models on top of the platform. As Instacart's enterprise retail business expands to hundreds of partner brands and new international markets, this team's work is foundational to how the platform matures. We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead this team of ~12 engineers. You'll set the unifying technical thesis for the team — multi-tenancy, data isolation, configuration-driven release management, and per-retailer extensibility — and drive the consolidation work that replaces bespoke per-vertical services with shared platform rails. In close partnership with Connected Stores, Pro Services, Commerce, Data Engineering, and ML, you'll broker the architectural and prioritization trade-offs that determine how Instacart serves enterprise retailers across multiple commerce surfaces. ABOUT THE JOB * Lead, coach, and grow a senior-skewed team of ~12 engineers across multiple workstreams; set clear architectural and execution direction, develop talent, and foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement. * Set and maintain the unifying technical thesis for the team — multi-tenancy, data isolation, configuration-driven release management, and per-retailer extensibility — ensuring related workstreams converge on shared solutions rather than parallel implementations. * Drive consolidation of bespoke retailer-vertical services — catering order management, smart-cart backend logic, kiosk integrations, in-store mobile — onto unified Instacart platform rails, so each surface inherits Instacart's ranking, search, recommendations, and fulfillment. * Partner with ML and Data Engineering on long-term enterprise data platform compliance for our ML systems, ensuring per-retailer model training has the data, signals, and isolation it needs. * Deliver self-service tooling — including sandbox environments, configuration interfaces, and retailer-facing extensibility — that lets retailers and internal teams ship without engineering bottlenecks. * Represent technical and product trade-offs across multiple engineering and product organizations whose roadmaps and integration commitments evolve in real time; broker resourcing decisions, drive clarity in ambiguous scope, and ensure engineering investment stays aligned with committed work. ABOUT YOU MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS * 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineering teams delivering platform or infrastructure products in a B2B or enterprise context. * Experience leading teams of 10+ engineers, including hiring, performance management, and career development of senior individual contributors. * Demonstrated success operating in ambiguous, high-growth environments where partner roadmaps, product coverage, and integration commitments are still maturing — with a track record of driving clarity and forward motion through that ambiguity. * Proven cross-functional leadership influencing outcomes across multiple engineering and product organizations, including comfort using structured escalation to unblock multi-team initiatives. * Experience leading multi-team architectural transitions such as consolidation, replatforming, multi-tenancy, or data isolation inside an established business with real customers and revenue. * Technical proficiency in distributed systems, API/SDK design, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS or GCP). * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * Direct domain experience in commerce platforms, omnichannel retail, OMS, POS, catering systems, or connected-store / in-store technology. * Track record of building multi-tenant platforms serving multiple internal or external customers, with per-tenant configuration, isolation, and extensibility requirements. * Experience partnering with ML and Data Engineering teams on data platform compliance, model training infrastructure, or data isolation initiatives. * Background scaling enterprise integrations and managing partner-facing technical relationships across product, engineering, and customer-facing functions. * Experience leading other engineering managers and growing two-layer organizations. #LI-Remote Instacart provides highly market-competitive compensation and benefits in each location where our employees work.
