Hands-on Platform Engineering Manager - Woman / Man / Non Binary

🎯 The Role

We're looking for a hands-on Platform Engineering Manager to join our team and help drive the delivery of new features — while maintaining operational excellence and strong incident management.

In this role, you will directly manage a team of 4–5 senior platform engineers and collaborate closely with them on improving and evolving our bare-metal Kubernetes and Grafana-based observability stacks.

You'll also contribute technically to our infrastructure, monitoring, support, and provisioning activities, working as part of a 12-person platform engineering team.

This is a 50/50 split between technical contribution and team management — ideal for an experienced engineer looking to grow into leadership while staying deeply connected to the tech.

💼 Your Responsibilities

• Own platform SLAs and ensure timely delivery of new features

• Lead a team of 4–5 engineers: 1:1s, goal setting and evaluation, coaching, career growth, and overall team well-being

• Actively contribute to infrastructure improvements and technical projects (hands-on!)

• Help define and maintain a culture of technical excellence and reliability

• Foster cross-team collaboration to ensure product availability and performance

🤝 Who You’ll Work With

• You will report to the VP of Platform Engineering and work closely with him and Platform Staff Engineers to shape the roadmap and drive team priorities

• You will collaborate with other engineering leaders and product teams to ensure platform reliability and scalability

• You will be part of a collaborative, non-siloed team of ~12–15 platform engineers

🧬 Profile We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a Linux systems engineer, undefined, or Platform Engineer

• Previous success in managing or mentoring engineers, or strong motivation to evolve into a management role

• Proven experience in high-availability, production-grade environments (hosting provider, SaaS, large-scale systems)

• Solid expertise in Kubernetes or strong Linux/networking/containers background

• Comfortable with remote-first, asynchronous work

• Strong sense of ownership, autonomy, and team spirit

• Bonus: interest in security and compliance topics
