As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead efforts to transform our Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices, driving consistency, reliability, and speed across our cloud platforms. You'll own the development of IaC standards, best practices and delivery pipelines enabling teams to build and scale infrastructure safely and efficiently. With a platform-first mindset, you’ll champion automation in infrastructure delivery—reducing manual toil and accelerating our path to full infrastructure automation. Your leadership will ensure our infrastructure foundations remain resilient, reusable, and ready for global scale.

The ideal candidate has a passion for Infrastructure as Code and building robust delivery pipelines. You take pride in setting high standards for code quality and maintainability, and you thrive in environments where excellence in engineering practices is the norm. You lead a team of talented software and site reliability engineers, guiding them in developing scalable and efficient IaC delivery pipelines. You are driven to define and enforce coding standards that promote clarity, security, and operational excellence across the organization. You believe in making informed, data-driven decisions and use metrics and insights to continuously improve systems and team performance.

What You’ll Do 

Work Location: This role is based out of our Boston Office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.
