Engineering Manager, Fastly

• 8+ years hands‑on systems or infrastructure engineering (Go, Python, Rust, or similar) building automation for bare‑metal provisioning, OS imaging, and configuration management at fleet scale
• Deep expertise in boot & hardware pipelines—PXE/UEFI HTTP, BMC / Redfish, secure boot, firmware flashing, and tools like Chef or Ansible
• Proven technical leadership of teams or mission‑critical projects (mentoring, driving design reviews, owning roadmaps), even without a formal manager title
• Strong cross‑functional collaboration and communication skills, translating fleet KPIs into clear priorities for key stakeholders

Desirable

• This position will require you to be available during core business hours in the Eastern Time Zone. You will also be on-call during evenings and weekends as an escalation point in team on-call rotation
• We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Infrastructure Automation team—owning everything from “cold silicon” power‑on to Chef convergence at fleet scale
• You’ll shape the vision, mentor a team of sharp developers, and build the tooling, APIs, and observability that make site bring‑up as effortless and repeatable as a git push, unlocking rapid deployments at scale
• Own the technical roadmap for deterministic, end‑to‑end provisioning automation across all existing and new hardware platforms
• Build and mentor a high‑performing team of software and infrastructure engineers, fostering a culture of reliability, observability, and rapid iteration
• Deliver and operate scalable tooling, APIs, and dashboards that make bulk site bring‑ups self‑service, idempotent, and fully traceable
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Operations (DC & Net), Hardware, and Security to align firmware, OS, and config‑management workflows with fleet‑wide SLAs; also while iterating POP design, and assisting with new hardware selection
• Own success metrics (e.g. first‑pass yield & error‑recovery time) and drive continuous improvement through data‑driven retrospectives and roadmap updates

• Anticipated Posting Close Date*: May 27, 2025. *Job posting may close early due to the volume of applicants.
