Engineering Manager (Cloud Platform)

• We’re looking for a technical architect who can drive development velocity across a team of 10–15 engineers building cloud-native applications
• This is a hybrid role: deep hands-on technical leadership combined with people management
• Lead the architecture, performance, and scalability of our Node.js-based platform running primarily on AWS
• While our applications are deployed on AWS today, they are designed to be hyperscaler-agnostic, and you’ll ensure architectural decisions preserve that portability across GCP, Azure, and other cloud providers
• You’ll own the technical direction of the platform, mentor senior engineers, and partner with product and engineering leadership to ship high-quality systems quickly
• You’ll also manage a team of 10–15 developers — setting goals, running 1:1s, growing careers, hiring, and removing blockers
• You’ll balance roadmap delivery with engineering health: code quality, system reliability, on-call hygiene, and developer experience

Preferred experience

• Track record of improving performance, scalability, and deployment velocity in production environments
• Experience designing platform-agnostic systems that can run on any major hyperscaler
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years leading engineering teams
• Deep expertise architecting distributed systems on AWS (compute, networking, data, IAM, observability)
• Strong Node.js background and a clear point of view on building maintainable services at scale
• Proven ability to grow engineers, hire well, and run a team that ships consistently
• Background scaling SaaS platforms or developer-facing products
• Experience with multi-cloud or cloud-portable deployments (Kubernetes, Terraform, containerization)
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Enginee
