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.
Nice to have
- Experience with Go, TypeScript, React, or similar stacks is a plus
- Background in developer tools, APIs, infrastructure platforms, or AI-native products is preferred
Skills

Benefits
