About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and hold the team: hiring, coaching, performance conversations, and career growth for ten engineers.
You won't ship features. You will read designs, weigh trade-offs with senior engineers, and know how the system actually works.
Keep the codebase healthy across quarters, including making the case to Product when tech debt needs paying down.
Grow your team's agentic engineering practice, moving each engineer up our capability model through mentoring and pairing.
Lead production health for your team's services: on-call rotation, alerts and monitoring, incident response, and the follow-through after.
Guide secure SDLC for your team: vulnerability patching, threat modeling on new agentic surfaces, and origination workflows kept audit-ready under SOC 2 and GLBA.
Partner with Product, design, security, and data. Product sets the roadmap. You decide how it gets built.
Collaborate with the other engineering managers to set how we engineer at Caribou.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience leading a distributed team across time zones, including nearshore or offshore engineers.
Full-stack understanding of production software systems, from hosts and HTML, to models and MCP, to databases and DNS, to runtimes and REST.
Collaborative, people-first leaders who lead with context over command and control.
