What this job asks for AI summary
A people-management role at a private wealth management firm, responsible for leading the engineering teams that build and operate client-facing web and mobile platforms. The manager owns the full software delivery lifecycle — planning, release management, production deployments, and architectural oversight — while coaching a blended team of internal engineers, QA staff, and external consultants.

Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Software Engineering Manager' with no explicit seniority level in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 10+ years requirement and team-leadership scope support a Senior classification.
The posting is headquartered in New York (Rockefeller Center) but explicitly notes Woodbridge, NJ as a major technology office. The CBSA (New York-Newark-Jersey City) covers both locations.
The hybrid work model is described as 60% in-office / 40% remote — this is not a fully remote role.
Direct coding is described as 'not expected but considered a plus,' confirming this is primarily a people/delivery management role rather than an individual-contributor engineering role.
The CI/CD tools (Bitbucket, Git, Sonatype, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline) and IAM technologies (SAML, OAuth, OpenID, Cognito, Okta) are listed under the 'Engineering Expertise' section, which reads as a required technical background block rather than a nice-to-have list.
Playwright is cited as an example automated testing framework ('e.g., Playwright'); it is the only named tool and is captured as required per the section placement, with the understanding that equivalent frameworks would likely be accepted.
Mobile app store submission and release management experience is required per the Engineering Expertise section but names no specific platform tool, so no skill entry was created for it.
