About the team
The Infrastructure organization builds and operates shared platforms that enable engineering teams to build, deploy, run, and scale reliable products. It owns foundational capabilities for service networking and discovery, safe feature and configuration changes, data storage and orchestration, and batch computing.
These platforms support a global engineering audience and systems at significant scale, including the control plane for secure service-to-service communication across tens of thousands of microservices; service and feature deployment infrastructure for safe changes and recovery; infrastructure for containerized services; and data platforms for storage, pipeline orchestration, and large-scale processing. Batch compute platforms support Apache Airflow, Apache Spark, Apache Iceberg, Apache Hadoop, and Apache Celeborn.
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead or strongly influence teams working on business-critical infrastructure with broad internal adoption. You will balance reliability, scalability, security, developer experience, and operational rigor, partnering with product, security, data, support, and adjacent infrastructure leaders to set direction, resolve cross-team dependencies, and turn recurring needs into durable platform capabilities.
What you'll do
As an Engineering Manager, you will operate with full autonomy across a complex, high-impact infrastructure area. Your scope extends beyond a single team: you will lead or strongly influence multiple engineering teams, execute parallel high-priority workstreams, develop senior engineering talent, set direction, align stakeholders, make durable decisions, and deliver results without close direction.
Responsibilities
- Drive impact across multiple teams or a significant infrastructure area independently; translate organizational goals into execution plans and deliver results across parallel workstreams.
- Define strategy and roadmap, anticipating internal user needs, technical challenges, reliability risks, and business priorities; communicate a clear plan to the team and senior leadership.
- Coach senior engineers and emerging leaders, create meaningful stretch opportunities, and provide candid feedback that improves performance.
- Align product, security, data, support, and adjacent engineering teams; resolve ambiguity at team boundaries and establish shared priorities.
- Hire, develop, and retain senior engineering talent while maintaining a high hiring bar and building an inclusive, high-performing organization.
- Set high standards for reliability, availability, scalability, incident response, and engineering craft; address systemic issues affecting internal users.
- Partner with Staff engineers on architecture decisions involving distributed systems, service discovery, configuration propagation, production change management, data processing, and internal platform design.
Minimum requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience with 10+ years of software development experience.
- 4+ years of engineering management experience, with a demonstrated track record of autonomous impact as an engineering manager.
- Experience leading high-complexity engineering teams delivering multiple difficult, high-impact workstreams in parallel.
- Proven ability to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority and communicate a clear direction others follow.
- Meaningful recruiting experience, including attracting and developing senior engineering talent.
- Technical depth to guide architecture decisions and hold teams to high standards for product quality, reliability, and engineering craft.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building or operating high-availability distributed systems, internal platforms, or developer infrastructure for a broad engineering audience.
- Experience with service networking, service discovery, service mesh, feature flags, configuration management, progressive delivery, deployment tooling, or production change governance.
- Experience with data infrastructure, including large-scale storage, data orchestration, batch compute, or Apache Airflow, Apache Spark, Apache Iceberg, Apache Hadoop, and Apache Celeborn.
- Experience improving reliability through observability, health checks, incident response, automated recovery, capacity planning, or reduced impact of production changes.
- Experience designing secure access controls, audit systems, approval workflows, or governance mechanisms for production infrastructure.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and distributed-systems technologies such as Amazon Web Services, DynamoDB, Aurora, S3, Ruby, Go, Java, or Python.
- Product mindset for internal platforms, including empathy for internal users, focus on self-service, and commitment to making safe workflows easy to adopt.
In-office expectations
Office-assigned employees in most locations are expected to spend at least 50% of their time in a given month in their local office or with users. This may vary by role, team, and location, and the hiring manager will discuss expectations during the process.
