Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Own the outcomes for your domain end to end — the strategy, the technical direction, and the results.
• Hire, grow, and retain strong engineers and leads, and mentor the team through design and architecture reviews.
• Partner with Product and Staff Engineers to build the technical roadmap and run quarterly planning.
• Own cross-team architectural decisions and the internal standards other teams build on: service decomposition, event schema evolution, inter-service contract stability, and data consistency.
• Set the engineering quality bar — system reliability, test coverage, incident response SLAs, and on-call health.
• Drive operational excellence: observability, runbook quality, postmortem culture, and the reduction of toil.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into well-scoped projects with clear milestones and honest timelines.
• 3+ years of engineering management experience in high-growth organizations, including managing senior ICs and leads.

Who can apply

• 3+ years of engineering management experience in high-growth organizations, including managing senior ICs and leads.
• A track record of building high-performing teams and developing engineers to the next level.
• Experience managing platform teams, not just product feature teams.
• Strong written communication — clear in PRDs, design docs, postmortems, and upward reporting.
• Champions engineering quality: design patterns, code reviews, and disciplined unit, integration, and contract testing.
• A self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity and able to make trade-off decisions at speed without much guidance.
• A strong engineering foundation — you've shipped production services and can hold your own in architecture reviews without being the day-to-day coder.
• Hands-on experience with event-driven microservices: Kafka, async event processing, and schema versioning.
• Backend architecture for large, high-scale web applications, including relational databases, distributed caching, and resilience patterns such as retries and dead-letter handling.
• Experience with AWS, and with TypeScript/Node.js backend services at scale (Go or Python a bonus).
