About the role

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to build and lead a team of infrastructure and systems engineers. You will have the opportunity to shape the team from its earliest stage and translate an evolving charter into a clear, sustainable operating model. In partnership with technical leadership, you will establish how the team delivers, operates, and grows while remaining accountable for its people, priorities, and outcomes.

In this role, you will

• Lead and develop a high-performing team of infrastructure engineers.
• Set clear priorities, roadmaps, ownership, and measures of success.
• Define clear decision-making, escalation, and on-call practices as the team grows.
• Partner with technical leaders to guide architecture and deliver reliable infrastructure and automation.
• Establish strong practices for testing, observability, safe changes, incident response, and on-call.
• Use operational and delivery data to identify risks and guide investment.
• Resolve cross-team dependencies and create a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Who You Are

• You have 6+ years of experience in software, infrastructure, platform, SRE, or production engineering, including people leadership.
• You have managed engineers responsible for production systems with meaningful reliability requirements.
• You have experience with Kubernetes, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure.
• You have improved operational practices such as on-call, SLOs, observability, incident response, or change management.
• You have turned ambiguous ownership or cross-team dependencies into clear plans and delivered outcomes.
• You can guide technical tradeoffs and work effectively with senior engineers without becoming the team's sole architect.
• You have experience hiring, coaching, managing performance, and communicating priorities and risks to technical teams and senior leaders.
