Role
Who you are
- EasyPost is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Engineering Team on the infrastructure side of the company
- This is an ideal role for someone who thrives on enablement, automation, and metrics — someone who wants to empower others by building the platforms behind the platform
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 12+ years of related experience in software or platform engineering, with a focus on internal tools, automation, or developer productivity
- Experience building and scaling developer platforms or internal tooling in fast-moving engineering environments
- Strong understanding of modern development practices — including Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment automation
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code and config management (e.g., Terraform, Ansible), in cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, or GCP
- Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
- Familiarity with the GitHub toolchain, including GitHub Actions, pull request workflows, and GitHub-integrated CI/CD
- Experience integrating deployment tooling with systems like FluxCD or other GitOps-based platforms
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Ruby, Python, Go, or Rust, as well as comfort with scripting and automation tasks
- Familiarity with a variety of database technologies (e.g., MySQL, Cassandra, Redis) and cloud-based database platforms (e.g., RDS, Aurora, Keyspaces, CloudSQL, BigTable)
- Familiarity with observability stacks (e.g., ELK,Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Vector, Tempo, Datadog, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor)
- Demonstrated ability to use metrics and feedback loops to drive continuous improvement in platform development
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an emphasis on clarity, empathy, and documentation
What the job involves
- This is a high-impact role focused on designing and building the shared platforms and internal tooling that make development at EasyPost faster, safer, and more reliable
- As an Engineering Manager for Platform Engineering, you'll shape the systems, workflows, and standards that empower our product engineers
- This includes everything from defining Golden Paths and developing Service Scaffolding to managing Shared DB Platforms, ensuring system reliability, and establishing compliance guardrails
- You will work across the stack and organization, identifying friction points and turning them into opportunities to improve how we build, ship, and operate software. Your work will directly influence engineering velocity, system reliability, and operational excellence
- Lead and manage the Platform Engineering team, providing technical guidance, mentorship, and support to engineers across various levels
- Design, build, and evangelize Golden Paths and Service Scaffolding to reduce friction across the development lifecycle
- Identify high-friction or high-risk engineering workflows and design scalable, user-friendly platforms and tooling to improve them
- Oversee the design, implementation, and maintenance of Shared DB Platforms, ensuring optimal performance, integrity, and security across the organization
- Lead efforts to design, manage, and optimize multi-cloud platforms using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, driving cost-efficiency and security
- Oversee the development, integration, and adoption of Observability Frameworks (metrics, tracing, logs)
- Lead the development and implementation of robust Reliability Practices for the platform, including backup, recovery, capacity planning, and disaster recovery strategies
- Define and track meaningful metrics to evaluate developer experience, platform health, and team productivity — using data to inform what you build and how it evolves
- Collaborate with development, security, and infrastructure teams to ensure resilient, secure, and scalable services, and provide consulting on platform patterns like API Gateways and Service Meshes
- Contribute to the standardization and documentation of engineering practices across teams
- Knowledge and Application: Applies broad expertise and knowledge in highly specialized fields or several related disciplines. Leads and contributes to development of company objectives and principles to achieve goals in creative and effective ways
- Complexity & Problem Solving: Works on significant and unique issues where analysis of situations or data requires an evaluation of intangibles. Requires conceptual thinking to understand advanced issues and implications. Exercises independent judgment in methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. Accountable for results, which may impact the entire function
- Collaboration & Interaction: Creates formal networks involving coordination among groups. Focuses on providing thought leadership and works on broader organization projects, which requires understanding of wider business. Requires conveying advanced information and persuading several diverse stakeholders/audiences. Recognized internally as a subject matter expert. May direct the activities of others
Our take
EasyPost's multi-carrier shipping API provides eCommerce businesses with seamless solutions to manage logistics. The platform allows companies to easily switch between shipping providers, track packages, and verify addresses. Saving businesses time and money and in turn, simplifying what would otherwise be a complex process.
When EasyPost emerged from stealth in 2013, it was widely recognized as the "Stripe for shipping". A comparison that stemmed from the company's ability to effectively enable developers to integrate postage and shipping features into web applications. Which, at the time, was something legacy carriers like FedEx and UPS weren't taking advantage of.
As eCommerce has grown, EasyPost has expanded its reach and is now available in over 200 countries and now offers Amazon Shipping, cementing its position as a market leader.
