Role
Who you are
- You have at least 12 years of back-end or systems software engineering experience
- At least 4 years experience directly managing engineering teams

- Building developer tooling that integrates cleanly into developer workflows
- Experience with network protocols and caching concepts
- Exposure to WebAssembly
- Having built or run large-scale storage systems
- An in-depth understanding of distributed databases and the trade-offs involved
What the job involves

- You will drive technical direction, review technical implementation alongside your engineering leaders
- You enjoy thinking big while making intentional steps toward those big goals
- You will be partnering with engineering and product teams from all walks of life and disciplines, all the while cultivating an inclusive and cohesive team environment that enables your engineers to deliver their best work
- Manage and support a distributed systems engineering team
- Ensure collaborative cross-functional roadmap planning across engineering and product
- Create just enough process that enables cross-functional planning, communication and risk mitigation
- Participate in designing technical solutions with your team and other engineering teams
- Apply your individual contributor experience. You will not be required to actively develop software, but you must have related technical experience to this problem space

- Work with your engineering management peer group to drive broader engineering goals
- Recruit and hire software engineers
- Clearly communicate upward and outward to set expectations for roadmaps and deliverables
