What the job involves
- As an Engineering Manager (Distributed Systems), this person will manage a team of engineers on our team, seeing to their needs, and contributing to the engineering team with individual contributions leveraging their experience working with distributed systems
- This position reports to the Head of Engineering
- You have built relationships and trust within the engineering team, such that you can comfortably slot in as a manager for ~3-5 team members after their first month
- As a manager, your primary responsibilities are to deliver performance feedback to your reports, work with your reports to continually improve their performance, be a conduit of feedback to and from your reports and others in the organization, and collaborate with the Head of Engineering to create and successfully help your reports develop new skills
- You partake in architecting mission critical systems within Ceramic and ComposeDB. Over the next 12 months, we will need to decentralize our anchoring service, make Ceramic and ComposeDB suitable for large scale and high velocity data sets, and design and implement mechanisms for building sustainable communities around composable data

The designs you contribute to should strike a balance between being pragmatic and shippable, while still being forwards-compatible with projects we’ve yet to start
- You collaborate with product and adoption teams to keep our work streams focused on projects that will have maximum impact on our company goals on a season-to-season basis. By captaining workstreams and providing support to others, you will help our engineering organization deliver high quality projects in a timely manner in your first full season here

- You are a conduit of growth for your team. You will create and tend to a growth plan for all of your reports within the first three months of joining
Our take
A major difficulty within the Web 3.0 space is that transferring centralized data into a decentralized space can be complex and time-consuming. Plus, many Web 3.0 services and apps are still built upon Web 2.0 platforms and services. 3Box Labs has created a developer platform called Ceramics that can break data out of centralized services and make it composable within the Web 3.0 space, thus taking a step away from formerly vital yet archaic developer tools.
Data models applied to the Ceramics platform are universally composable and reusable across Web 3.0 applications. 3Box Labs allows developers to share, exchange, and use data and metadata, as well as virtual items in video games, and many other virtual commodities transferred from traditional web builds.
3Box Lab’s platform is used by thousands of developers and has been the foundation of hundreds of Web 3.0 apps and services so far. Its funding from 2022 accelerated the launch of Ceramics and allowed it to become one of the leading platforms untethering Web 3.0 from its predecessor.
