We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a cluster of 3–5 Engineering Team Leads and drive people management, cross-team coordination, delivery, engineering standards, and operational excellence.
The ideal candidate will be a strong engineering leader who can work across multiple teams, resolve competing priorities, handle escalations, develop Team Leads, and ensure consistent engineering practices across the organization.
-
Manage and mentor 3–5 Team Leads, supporting their teams' performance, growth, hiring, and career development.
-
Own cluster-level planning, prioritization, capacity allocation, and delivery across multiple engineering teams.
-
Resolve cross-team dependencies, resource conflicts, delivery risks, and escalations.
-
Act as the primary point of contact for business, customer, and cross-functional escalations involving multiple teams.
-
Drive consistent engineering standards covering code quality, testing, code reviews, incident management, and reliability.
-
Track and improve engineering metrics such as delivery cycle time, incident rate, MTTR, escalations, and team health.

Develop Team Leads into effective people managers and create a culture of ownership, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

For Platform & Shared Services, own initiatives related to monitoring, reliability, autoscaling, resource guardrails, and incident tooling.
This is not a hands-on coding or individual contributor role. Day-to-day coding, debugging, and code reviews remain with Team Leads and Senior/Staff Engineers.
The Engineering Manager's focus is on people leadership, coordination, delivery, escalation management, and engineering governance.
