Job description

Technology departments often have a number of stereotypes:

• Have you tried turning it off and on again?
• Working out of a windowless basement
• Wanting to use every new tool, framework, or cloud service that hits the market

While those all can be true, the last one usually leads to a particularly cumbersome bill at the end of each month as cloud and container services can stack up over time.

This is where you can help out.

This is a hands‑on leadership role with the global leader in cost optimisation, delivering multi‑cloud cutting‑edge solutions for their customers. The platform goes beyond simple monitoring and recommendations, it uses advanced machine learning to analyse and automatically optimise clusters saving over 50% or more on cloud spend while boosting performance, reliability, and engineering productivity. If you’re passionate about transforming the cloud industry, this is your chance to make an impact.

They’re seeking passionate Engineering Managers to join several teams, from R&D to cluster‑specific projects. You’ll lead a team of talented software engineers while dedicating a significant portion of your time to coding, driving product development execution, mentoring your team, and collaborating with stakeholders to align on roadmaps. Your hands‑on engineering expertise will be essential in delivering scalable, resilient, and high‑quality software solutions, with your background ideally being in Golang or Python.

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry on technically challenging projects that push boundaries. You’ll enjoy a flat organisational structure with direct access to leadership, flexible working hours, and a culture that prioritises results over rigid processes. Every employee receives equity in the company, and you’ll have 10% of your time reserved for self‑improvement or personal projects.
