Software Engineering Manager, Platform

We are a fully remote software engineering team working on the company's next generation security platform. Our goal is to increase the security posture of all of our customers while building a collaborative and innovative engineering culture.

The platform team focuses on backend service and tooling development for other teams and customers to use. We build performant GraphQL APIs using Golang and Kubernetes for  different features of our product, creating and reviewing designs for new projects, building robust software that other teams and customers can use, and collaborating with other internal and external engineering teams to solve problems, as well as building our internal authorization systems. If there is backend work we are involved in one way or another - and our goal as a team is to raise the bar of engineering practices across the larger organization.

Our primary tech stack consists of Golang, Kubernetes, Postgres, and Elasticsearch, but we also use tools like ScyllaDB, Redis, Kafka, SQS, and various other AWS services as well. 

Skills and Requirements

We expect to see:

• Direct management of 3-10 software engineers.

• Hands on experience contributing to code bases, mentoring, coaching and leading by example.

• Demonstrable technical leadership and a track record of building scalable and fault tolerant solutions for customers.

• Minimum of 7 years of Software Development experience.

• Experience developing applications in Golang with a tech stack similar to ours.

• Strong understanding of database fundamentals.

• An ability to collaborate with a wide audience ranging from product management, to QA and other engineering groups and driving consensus across them to support your team.

• Understanding of Scrum and Kanban and how apply them pragmatically with a team to drive progress.

What we like to see (but not required):

• Experience working with Kubernetes and designing microservice applications.

• Remote work experience with a geographically distributed team (currently we have teammates in  PST  to GMT time zones).

• Knowledge of security issues and best practices to prevent vulnerabilities.

• Comfortable working knowledge of a cloud platform such as AWS, GCP, or similar.
