About the role

  • We're looking for an inaugural Engineering Manager to join a fast-growing AI infrastructure company at a pivotal moment.
  • You'll work directly with the founders and a small, high-retention engineering team, including people who came up through Google, Meta, Cruise, and AWS and have chosen to stay.
  • The culture here is intentional: high craft, high trust, and high ownership.

Responsibilities

  • Engineering Leadership - Mentor and grow a high-performing team across full-stack, customer, and forward-deployed engineering. Run regular 1:1s, give clear feedback, and build the conditions where engineers do their best work and stay.
  • Team Scaling - Own onboarding for new engineers so they ramp quickly and become productive. Partner with founders on hiring and career development as the org grows beyond its founding core.
  • Technical Execution - Spend at least 20% of your time doing IC work - staying close to the codebase and tooling. Drive project management for customer deliverables, especially work that spans multiple engineers or product areas.
  • Security & Compliance - Own security and compliance alongside our Founding Operations Lead, including SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.
  • Distributed Collaboration - Manage project-based contract engineers and globally distributed connector contributors.
  • You build engineering culture and systems: ownership, craft, and accountability are things you've actually installed somewhere before
  • This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build the connectivity infrastructure for AI.
