We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Fleet Management Team. This team is responsible for building guardrails, tooling, and guidelines to onboard new blockchain networks to our platform, leveraging the primitives provided by our Developer Platform team. The ideal candidate will have a strong platform and DevOps background, coupled with software development experience.

  • Help the entire engineering team get better at what we do through building smarter ways of working.

We’re looking for candidates who have:

  • Managed and led a diverse team of impactful engineers, ideally in a fast-growing startup.

  • Experience hiring engineers and working closely with Recruiters as a team.

  • Aren’t afraid to jump into a problem and get it sorted, even if it’s outside of your day-to-day role.

  • Built and managed successful platforms that remove friction from development flows and reduce manual overhead. Strong background in platform engineering and DevOps.

  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, AWS EC2, RDS, Aurora, S3, and Kafka.

  • Knowledge of monitoring and logging tools (We use Datadog, Cloudwatch and Humio).

  • Have an interest in cryptocurrencies or a desire to learn - we can help!

  • Knowledge of security best practices in a cloud environment.

  • Familiarity with data engineering and stream processing frameworks.
