Engineering Manager

Technologies we use

About the project

Your responsibilities

• Lead four engineering teams covering the control plane, the core edge and proxy layer, the analytics and logging platform, and DNS and traffic management.
• Own delivery on a two-week cadence: planning, commitments, and honest reporting on what shipped and what did not.
• Set and defend technical priorities with Product, Support and Maintenance. A large part of the job is deciding what the teams will not do this quarter.
• Own the incident and post-incident process for your area: severity calls, root-cause analysis, and making sure prevention work actually gets built rather than filed and forgotten.
• Run the on-call rotation for your teams and keep the escalation path clear.
• Develop your engineers and tech leads through regular one-to-ones, feedback and growth planning, and hire well when you have headcount.
• Improve how the department works: planning, prioritisation, quality standards, documentation, and service ownership.
• Ensure AI tools and approaches are being adopted.

Our requirements

• Four or more years leading software engineering teams, including experience managing tech leads.
• Production experience with internet infrastructure: CDN, DNS, reverse proxies, or large-scale distributed systems.
• Enough depth to reason independently about HTTP caching, nginx behaviour, TLS and SNI, and anycast routing.
• A track record of owning incident response and post-incident follow-through, not just attending the calls.
• Comfort running several teams at once, and the confidence to say no to a stakeholder with a clear reason.
• Experience with distributed teams spanning European and Asian working hours.

Optional

• C, Rust, Go, Python, at a level where you can review a change.
• Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse and distributed tracing.
• Kubernetes alongside bare-metal fleet operations.
• Experience at a CDN, DNS or cloud provider, or at a network operator.
• Experience acting as product owner for platform work.
