radiant - Engineering Manager
Requirements
• Experience leading engineering teams building cloud platforms, infrastructure, developer tooling or distributed systems. • A strong technical background. You engage credibly in architecture and design discussions. • A good understanding of: • Cloud infrastructure: compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, containers • Platform engineering: APIs, automation, IAM, observability, reliability • Distributed systems: scaling, consistency, failure handling • Engineering operations: incident response, capacity, performance, production ownership • Proven experience in people management, hiring, coaching and performance development. • Strong delivery and prioritisation skills across competing priorities. • Comfort working closely with product and other engineering leaders in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment. • The ability to balance technical quality, delivery speed, reliability and team sustainability. • Experience with GPU, HPC or AI infrastructure is a bonus. Nobody has depth in every area above. Tell us which you know and which you want to learn. • People leadership: you build strong teams and help engineers grow. • Technical judgement: you challenge designs and guide trade-offs without owning every implementation detail. • Execution: you create clarity and drive complex work to completion. • Systems thinking: you understand how platform components and teams fit together. • Operational mindset: you care about reliability, maintainability and production quality. • Ownership: you take responsibility for both team health and engineering outcomes.
Responsibilities
• You lead one stream end to end: people, delivery and production. • Lead, coach and develop a team of about nine engineers across platform, infrastructure and distributed systems. • Own team execution across planning, prioritisation, delivery, quality and operational readiness. • Partner with product to turn priorities into clear technical plans and achievable milestones. • Provide technical leadership on architecture, reliability, scalability and engineering trade-offs. • Set strong engineering practices for design, testing, observability, documentation and incident learning. • Improve team effectiveness through clear ownership, healthy processes and strong cross-team collaboration. • Hire, onboard and retain high-performing engineers. Hiring is a large part of the first year. Expect around two hours a day on it. • Support career development through regular feedback, coaching and progression planning. • Manage technical risk, dependencies and delivery challenges across complex platform initiatives. • Bring AI-assisted engineering into daily work, within our guardrails. • Build a culture of ownership, pragmatism, operational excellence and continuous improvement. • ATTITUDE COMES FIRST • Curiosity: you learn new domains fast. GPUs, networks and storage excite you rather than worry you. • Candour: you say what you think, with care. You welcome challenge to your own ideas. • Builder mindset: much here is not built yet. You enjoy creating the process, not just running it. • Pace with standards: you move fast and keep quality high. • Generosity: you make the people around you better. You give credit and share what you know.
