Engineering Manager, Infrastructure

In order to successfully fulfill the responsibilities outlined above, we have a small set of requirements.

As our ideal candidate, you will have at least two years of experience in an official managerial role, including at least one year managing a remote team, and you can demonstrate experience with most the following:

• Managing engineers’ performance : This could include managing out, performance corrections, giving continuous feedback, and investing in strong performers.
• Growing teams : You can identify the need for headcount, define hiring criteria, and act as an owner throughout the entire recruiting lifecycle.
• Technical execution and dependency management : Your teams have shipped complex features with dependencies or stakeholders from outside the team, and you’ve played a significant role in their execution.
• Team dynamics : You’ve diagnosed a number of issues affecting morale or execution and found various solutions.
• Fostering inclusion within a diverse team : We are a diverse team representing a variety of identities and experiences. Our managers must show an ability to understand and support the needs of marginalized individuals.
• Relationship building : Whether it’s with your engineers, peers, customers, or vendors, you invest in relationships that benefit your team.
• Technical design and strategy : While we expect little to no code output from our Engineering Managers, we look for folks with strong technical backgrounds who can hold their own in technical design discussions and represent the details of their team’s technology to others.

Thoughtful about AI in engineering workflows: We seek to make the most of the latest AI tools, while also mitigating their risks and downsides.

Note: while we do look to hire Engineering Managers with prior engineering management experience, even if you don’t exactly fit all of the requirements above, we’re always interested in talking to great managers, so get in touch!
