Hiring an Engineering Manager to lead our EngOps Applications team. This role is accountable for team delivery, operational health, and execution of infrastructure work supporting critical production systems.

  • Own planning and delivery, ensuring priorities are clear and commitments are met
  • Be accountable for system reliability, incident response practices, and follow-up
  • Provide technical oversight by reviewing designs and guiding trade-offs
  • Ensure documentation, runbooks, and operational standards are maintained
  • Act as the primary point of accountability when working with partner teams

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience managing engineers in a people leadership role
  • Background in Infrastructure, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering
  • Experience operating production systems in AWS
  • Strong understanding of Linux, Kubernetes, and containerized systems
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform required)
  • Comfortable leading teams through incidents and operational challenges

What success looks like:

  • The team delivers reliably with clear ownership and priorities
  • Incidents lead to measurable improvements over time
  • Engineers are supported, growing, and not burning out
  • Infrastructure work enables the broader organization effectively
