Обязанности
- Muon seeks an Engineering Manager to lead our Software Platform team. This team builds and operates the paved roads (CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, Bazel, AWS, IAM, data infrastructure, and more) that underpin both our internal tooling and the production systems behind customer-facing products such as Muon Mission Command.
- The Software Platform team is critical to the overall growth and success of Muon's software engineering organization: as the number of product teams, services, and customers expands, the leverage this team creates, through reduced cognitive load, eliminated toil, and self-service Golden Paths, directly determines how fast the rest of engineering can move. This manager will inherit a team of six engineers, and will be responsible for both scaling that team to meet current demand and evolving it into a product-minded platform organization whose customers are Muon's own developers.
- This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.
- Lead, mentor, and grow the Software Platform team. Own hiring, performance management, coaching, and team composition for a growing platform organization. Actively recruit engineers to meet the demands of a rapidly scaling software department.
- Define team goals, and technical roadmaps that align with companies priorities.
- Ensure reliability, scalability, and performance of mission-critical services operating in production.
- Work with cross-functional stakeholders to translate mission needs into clear requirements and technical specifications.
- Drive engineering best practices including design reviews, code quality, testing, and observability.
- Manage team capacity, staffing, and growth, including hiring, coaching, and performance development.
- Promote a culture of technical ownership, continuous improvement, and pragmatic delivery.
- Build feedback loops with developer-customers, prioritize based on real friction, and hold clear ownership boundaries so product teams retain accountability for their applications.
Требования
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field OR equivalent industry experience.
- 5+ years of software engineering experience and 3+ years managing software engineering teams building and operating production systems.
- Direct experience managing a platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE team, including responsibility for hiring, performance management, coaching senior engineers, and shaping team composition.
- Strong technical background in distributed systems, backend services, or platform development, with hands-on depth in Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS.
- Demonstrated experience supporting production systems with real uptime, reliability, and performance requirements (SLOs, on-call, incident response, postmortems).
- Track record of establishing paved roads / Golden Paths and treating internal platforms as products, with developers as customers.
- Experience running a DevOps or SRE function embedded within a platform team (rather than as a separate silo), consistent with our team model.
- Experience defining technical direction and driving execution through a team, including prioritization, roadmap ownership, and stakeholder alignment.
- Strong communication skills and comfort partnering with cross-functional stakeholders across engineering, security, and IT/information systems.
- Ability to hold clear ownership boundaries, comfortable saying "no" to work that belongs to product teams while still being a great partner to them.
