About the job

The company is on a mission to make the internet a safer place by disrupting the criminal underground. The company’s solutions thwart cyberattacks and protect more than 4 billion accounts worldwide. Cybersecurity is an exciting, evolving space, and being at the forefront of the fight to disrupt cybercrime makes the company a special place to work. If you’re driven to align your career with a fantastic mission, look no further!

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager, Core Services to lead our core platform team. Our product engineering teams are stream-aligned, each owning a slice of the company’s products end to end, and they are your customers. Your team will build and run the shared platform services they depend on, so they can focus on disrupting cybercrime instead of wrestling with shared services like authentication, authorization, and audit logging.

This is a product role as much as an engineering one, hands-on software development as well as defining the product direction. You’ll treat the platform’s shared services as a product, earn adoption rather than mandate it, and measure success by how much cognitive load you remove from the teams you serve. We value collaboration, transparency, and a culture of continuous improvement, and most importantly, we believe in keeping work fun!

Our Tech Stack

  • Programming languages: Go, TypeScript, Python
  • Relational databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Databricks
  • NoSQL databases: ElasticSearch, DynamoDB
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Terraform
  • Operating systems: Linux

What You'll Do

  • Lead, hire, and grow a team of software and cloud engineers, coaching them toward ownership, operational excellence, and empathy for the teams who depend on their services.
  • Own the vision and roadmap for the company’s shared services. Prioritize through direct discovery with stream-aligned teams, and be explicit about what the platform won’t offer.
  • Publish and maintain a service catalog and team charter that define each shared service, its SLOs, its support model, and how teams engage with you.
  • Run shared services as dependable products with SLOs, error budgets, versioning, and on-call. Measure success through SLO attainment, incident trends, cost efficiency, and consumer satisfaction.
  • Own capacity planning, cost, and security posture for shared services, in partnership with Security and Finance.
  • Lead platform-wide migrations and upgrades so the platform team carries the burden instead of every product team.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including hands-on work building and operating shared infrastructure or platform services in production.
  • 3–5 years of experience leading engineering teams (4+ individuals).
  • A track record of running shared services as products: you can explain who your consumers were, what you chose not to offer, and how reliability and consumer satisfaction changed.
  • Experience operating highly available, multi-tenant systems in AWS, including data stores at scale, with working knowledge of containers, Terraform, and observability.
  • Strong technical judgment and a hands-on approach: you make sound architectural and build-vs-buy decisions and aren’t afraid to get into the code when needed.
  • Experience using SLOs, error budgets, incident reviews, and capacity and cost data to set priorities and communicate platform value.
  • Excellent communication and the ability to influence without authority, including leading cross-team migrations with teams you don’t manage.

Base Salary Range: $150,000 – $195,000

The salary range reflects the expected base compensation for a fully qualified candidate at this level based on experience, qualifications, and market data at the time of posting.
