Senior Engineering Manager

Required

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing and growing engineering teams.
• A track record of building and shipping consumer-facing products at scale — ideally messaging, communications, social, or other real-time systems.
• Strong product intuition: you make thoughtful tradeoffs between user experience, technical complexity, and speed, and you care about what you ship, not just how it's built.
• Deep experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, with a strong grasp of reliability, latency, and the realities of running high-throughput services in production.
• Demonstrated ability to attract, develop, and retain strong engineers, and to build healthy, high-performing teams.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills, with a history of driving alignment across product, design, and engineering.
• A bias toward action and a comfort with ambiguity, especially at high scale.
• You Might Also Have
• Experience with real-time messaging protocols, presence systems, or high-fanout delivery infrastructure.
• Background in trust & safety, content moderation, or safety-critical systems.
• Experience building communication or social features for large, global, or youth audiences.
• Familiarity with cross-platform (mobile, console, desktop) product development.
