Engineering Manager, Cloud Platform

Responsibilities

• Recruit, hire, and grow a high-performing team of cloud platform engineers; provide ongoing coaching, feedback, and career development through regular 1:1s
• Set clear performance expectations, hold a high bar, and create an environment where engineers do their best work
• Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Drive day-to-day technical decisions through design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions; translate the infrastructure roadmap into clear team priorities and milestones
• Establish standards and best practices for reliability, performance, and operational excellence; ensure the team owns projects end-to-end
• Exercise and encourage good judgment on tooling and architectural tradeoffs, with a bias against unnecessary complexity
• Partner with product and engineering teams to align infrastructure work with business priorities
• Serve as the escalation point for major incidents; drive resolution with urgency and ensure the team learns systematically

Requirements

• Extensive hands-on experience with Kubernetes, with the ability to engage credibly in architectural discussions and code reviews
• Strong background building and maintaining scalable, production infrastructure
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins)
• Demonstrated ability to drive projects end-to-end — from specification to execution — and coach your team to do the same
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to influence across teams without direct authority
• Track record of recruiting and growing engineering talent
• Openness to learning about ML infrastructure

Nice to Have

• Experience with OSS observability tooling (Prometheus, ELK stack, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
• Background in multi-cloud environments or GPU infrastructure
• Experience building and managing on-call rotations and incident response processes
