About the role
- Set direction and connect the dots: Shape the vision across data, APIs, and AI enablement, then work with your teams to turn that vision into focused, sequenced initiatives.
- Support and scale great teams: Initially, you’ll lead 3 Engineering Managers (and their teams of ~8 engineers), helping them grow, navigate ambiguity, and scale.
- Invest in technical quality: Ensure backend systems are observable, secure, performant, and cost-aware; raise the bar on architecture without slowing delivery.
- Collaborate deeply: Work closely with PM, Design, and other Engineering leaders to shape quarterly plans, align technical work with real user outcomes, and unblock cross-team delivery.
- Make systems better over time: Lead the evolution of our service architecture, cloud infra, and AI foundations; balance speed with sound engineering judgment.
- Build a healthy culture: Model low-ego, context-rich leadership; create rituals that help teams plan, reflect, and work asynchronously while delivering value and maintaining healthy work life boundaries.
Requirements
- Experience leading managers in backend or platform teams
- 10+ years of engineering experience, with significant depth in backend or infrastructure domains
- Experience growing teams in a rapid growth environment, mentoring EMs, and designing org structures that support autonomy and focus
- Clear communicator across functions and async-first teams
- Strong grasp of backend platforms: Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes, AWS
- Experience with data pipelines, secure ingestion, API ecosystems, and system design at scale
- Familiarity with observability, cost optimization, and reliability patterns
- Bonus: experience enabling AI/ML teams or building infra for LLM-powered features
- Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship required)
