Engineering Manager/TLM, Platform at Harperinsure · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

This role is open both to an experienced EM and to someone on the path to becoming an EM who doesn't yet have significant management experience—we're happy to bring that person on and support the transition.
This is a team that still needs to be built. We have 2 people in it today, and we believe this area needs significant investment at Harper. The role owns three things: infrastructure (cloud, third-party vendors, and everything surrounding it), developer productivity (making sure we're genuinely an AI-first shop, with the right AI tooling and harnesses in place for every other engineering team to be successful), and SRE and production support (production discipline is top of mind as we head into a high-growth, high-scale phase—we need someone who has run an SRE function before). Each of these three areas can grow into a larger team of its own over time.
The team is 2 people today, growing to five to six over the next three months. Because the team is small, whoever takes this role—EM or TLM—will need to be hands-on at the start, working directly with the team and doing the work themselves.
Own infrastructure — cloud, third-party vendors, and everything surrounding it
Build developer productivity — the AI tooling and harnesses that make every other engineering team genuinely AI-first
Own SRE and production support — bring production discipline as we head into a high-growth, high-scale phase
Build out the team — grow from 2 people to five to six over the next three months
Stay hands-on — with a team this small, work directly alongside your engineers and do the work yourself, not just direct it
Grow each function over time — infrastructure, developer productivity, and SRE/production support can each become a larger team of its own
You Might Be a Fit If...
Have at least 2 years as a line manager directly managing teams of six to ten people—or clear readiness to grow into that role
You've been a line manager for at least two years, directly managing teams of six to ten people—or you're on a clear path there and want to grow into it
