Engineering Manager, Tenant Scale:Git

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential DevSecOps organization seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a specialized team focused on version control systems and distributed infrastructure. In this role, you will:

• Manage a team of senior and staff engineers working on core version control technology and related infrastructure
• Build a team culture centered on technical rigor, clear accountability, and ownership
• Drive execution on complex, long-horizon projects spanning performance, scalability, maintainability, and core architecture
• Balance upstream open source community development with internal product and infrastructure priorities
• Support your engineers' growth through feedback, mentoring, career development, and stretch opportunities
• Foster strong written communication and asynchronous alignment across a fully distributed team
• Partner with downstream engineering teams who rely on version control expertise for performance, feature design, and roadmap clarity
• Represent the team credibly with cross-functional partners and stakeholders in conversations about technical direction, performance, and scalability

What We're Looking For

• Experience managing engineering teams with direct reports, including hiring, performance management, and career development
• A management philosophy centered on building engineer agency and ownership, with credibility grounded in consistency, follow-through, and technical judgment
• Proven ability to guide highly specialized engineers through ambiguity, structured debate, high-stakes technical tradeoffs, and the realities of upstream open source development, including community review and long feedback cycles
• Strong written communication and remote, asynchronous collaboration skills across distributed, multi-timezone teams—comfortable moving work forward in documents, issue threads, and asynchronous reviews
• A track record of delivering under pressure on ambiguous, long-horizon technical projects with clear outcomes
• Ability to reason from fundamentals about maintainability, technical debt, and long-term platform viability
• Hands-on background in version control systems, distributed systems, storage engines, or other low-level infrastructure domains
• Ability to engage credibly with systems code and architecture, ideally in C, Go, or similarly performance-sensitive environments

About the Team: This is a deeply technical team operating in an upstream-first environment. Building strong relationships with the open source community, engaging in mailing-list based collaboration, and balancing long-running technical work with practical delivery are central to how the team succeeds. A significant share of current focus is on scaling initiatives and foundational infrastructure work.
