Senior Engineering Manager, Granum

• This role is ideal for someone who has led an internal platform as a product before — someone who is adept at prioritization across work like, mentoring an engineer, negotiating priority with a feature team lead, and presenting a compliance roadmap
• We believe that skills and capability can be gained through many avenues. If you are excited by this challenge but your experience doesn't perfectly align with every qualification, we still encourage you to apply
• Significant experience (5+ years) of engineering management experience, including 3+ years leading infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering teams
• Demonstrated experience treating an internal platform as a product — roadmap ownership, stakeholder management, backlog prioritization
• Hands-on experience in multi-cloud environments (Azure or AWS required; GCP a bonus)
• Deep understanding of modern CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and identity/access management
• Experience with security hardening, credential management, and compliance frameworks (SOC2, investor security programs, or similar)
• Proficiency with containerization and orchestration (Docker, ECS, App Services)
• Demonstrated success enabling other engineering teams — you measure your success by their safe velocity
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders, including external partners
• Comfort operating in an agile environment with competing priorities and incomplete information

Desirable

• We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Engineering team, reporting to the VP of Engineering, Platforms & AI
• This is not a traditional DevOps management role — it is a high-impact leadership position at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and developer experience during a period of significant technical transformation
• You will directly manage a team of ~5 engineers spanning infrastructure, security, identity, and DevOps. You will own the platform's roadmap as an internal product — translating strategic priorities into an executable backlog, making daily trade-off decisions, and ensuring your team delivers leverage to the entire 40-person engineering organization
• You'll partner closely with feature teams, IT, and external compliance stakeholders to keep our multi-product, multi-cloud environment secure, reliable, and fast
• Manage a prioritized strategic backlog spanning infrastructure, security, identity, and developer experience
• Make daily priority and trade-off decisions autonomously— you are the operational owner
• Treat engineering teams as your customers; measure success by their ability to ship with speed and confidence
• Run sprint planning, refinement, and capacity allocation for the team
• Say "no" or "not yet" to incoming requests with clear rationale and alternatives
• Directly manage ~5 platform engineers across infrastructure, security, and DevOps disciplines
• Own team health, growth, and career development through regular 1:1s with candid, compassionate feedback
• Create an environment where the team feels empowered to take calculated risks and learn from failures
• Manage on-call rotation and incident response with a blameless learning culture
• Set direction for cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), and observability (Datadog, App Insights)
• Advocate for Infrastructure as Code, identity and access management, and zero-trust security practices
• Partner with security and IT to drive governance, compliance, and audit readiness across multiple product lines
• Use data (DORA metrics, reliability indicators, developer experience surveys) to measure impact and drive continuous improvement
• Interface with external compliance stakeholders (PE firm security teams, audit frameworks)
• Coordinate with feature team leads on platform dependencies, onboarding, and access management
• Partner with IT on MDM, VPN, and device management initiatives
• Communicate platform strategy and progress to engineering leadership
• Some of the Impact You'll Have
• Developer Experience: Shaping how 40+ engineers build, test, and ship software every day — owning the tools, pipelines, and environments that determine their velocity
• Security Posture: Transforming our multi-product, multi-cloud environment from startup-grade access controls to enterprise-grade zero-trust practices
• Identity & Access Management: Building a unified, cross-cloud permissions model that scales with the organization and satisfies investor-level compliance requirements
• Infrastructure Maturity: Driving the shift to fully codified, observable, and reproducible infrastructure across three product lines
• AI Enablement: Establishing the platform guardrails that allow agentic AI development tools to be adopted safely and at scale
• Compliance & Governance: Owning the technical relationship with external security stakeholders and ensuring our platform meets the bar for a high-growth, PE-backed company
• Engineering Culture: Setting the standard for how platform teams operate as a service organization — data-driven, responsive, and relentlessly focused on enabling others
