We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a strong and autonomous team building core internal infrastructure and developer-facing systems.
The team owns foundational components used by other engineering teams and services, including internal libraries, data transformation infrastructure, CI workflows, and integration tooling.
What You’ll Do
- Lead, coach, and develop experienced engineers while maintaining a high level of team autonomy.
- Own planning, prioritization, and delivery across several interconnected technical areas.
- Improve visibility into priorities, dependencies, timelines, and ownership.
- Balance product commitments with technical debt and long-term platform improvements.
- Improve engineering workflows, including CI/CD, release processes, code review, and collaboration across repositories.
- Identify and remove delivery bottlenecks and unnecessary manual coordination.
- Partner with Product and other engineering teams on roadmap, priorities, and releases.
- Stay close to technology by participating in architecture and design discussions and, where relevant, code reviews and technical investigations.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong software engineering background combined with engineering management experience.
- Experience managing senior, autonomous engineers.
- Background in platform engineering, developer infrastructure, developer productivity, backend infrastructure, or distributed systems.
- Experience with CI/CD, developer tooling, release engineering, or internal platforms.
- Strong planning, execution, and stakeholder management skills.
- Ability to understand complex technical trade-offs without needing to be the deepest expert in every area.
- Experience hiring, coaching, and developing engineers.
- Pragmatic approach to processes — creating enough structure to improve execution without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
Experience with Go, Rust, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Docker, cloud infrastructure, observability, or AI-assisted development would be a plus.
We are looking for someone who combines technical credibility, people leadership, and strong execution — and can help a highly autonomous engineering team work more effectively as one.
