Senior Engineering Manager, Compute

Qualifications

• Proven experience leading software engineering teams that build and operate large-scale compute platforms or fleets, with strong operational practices.
• 12+ years in software and/or infrastructure engineering, including 7+ years of people management and demonstrated ownership of delivery and live-site outcomes.
• Deep distributed-systems and compute infrastructure depth, with the hands-on judgment to guide architecture and execution rather than from a distance.
• Experience operating multi-tenant compute that other people's production workloads depend on.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience; advanced degree a plus.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to partner across engineering, product, and leadership and fold customer feedback into the roadmap.

Required Skills

• Strong leadership, coaching, and performance management; ability to grow engineers and build a healthy, accountable, high-ownership team.
• Excellence in execution: planning, prioritization, and delivering iterative milestones in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment while managing unplanned work.
• Fleet thinking: utilization, goodput, capacity and supply planning, and cost discipline as first-class engineering concerns.
• Live-site reliability craft: on-call, incident management & response, and postmortem-driven continuous improvement.
• Strong command of the building blocks of a compute platform: multi-tenant isolation and security, scheduling, and resource management.
• Ability to review and raise the bar on technical artifacts (design docs, code reviews) across a distributed-systems codebase.
