About the Role

We are building an infrastructure management platform from scratch. We're hiring an Engineering Manager who can lead and elevate a team of exceptional engineers, make key product decisions, and deliver high-impact projects that help us scale the platform to the next two orders of magnitude.

As an Engineering Manager with the Platform Team, you'll lead some of the most exciting products we've built-driving execution and raising the bar for the entire team. You will own critical systems end-to-end and set the technical bar for the team. We expect EMs to drive real outcomes while building a team culture that's intense, collaborative, and uncompromising on quality.

What Makes a Successful EM at Intuitive

Operate with extreme ownership, high agency, and thrive in ambiguity: You deliver results even when thrown into ambiguity with incomplete information

Have strong product intuition and judgment: You make good product calls with incomplete context and translate product intent into clear, executable milestones

Drive operational excellence: You are highly organized, track progress closely, surface risks early, and create clarity and momentum

Actively coach and level up engineers: You set a high bar, give direct feedback, and help engineers grow faster than they would elsewhere

Bring exceptional work ethic, maturity, and resilience: You perform above expectations on our IC culture rubric and handle pressure and feedback without ego

Have a strong technical background in Infrastructure Engineering: You are technical in nature and can weigh in on complex tradeoffs

Take ownership of projects: You drive them towards completion while dealing with ambiguity and finding the right balance between speed and quality-you don't need every detail and edge case

spelled out because you can figure out the goals and fill in the blanks

Focus on impact: You have a strong understanding of how you can create the most impact, and don't get lost in the weeds on details that don't matter-you're excited to work on whatever solves the biggest customer problems, not just the coolest technical challenges

Key Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of software and platform engineers

Foster a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, and psychological safety

Balance delivery commitments with sustainable engineering practices

Platform Ownership

Own the roadmap and execution of the Platform Orchestrator product

Own execution across planning, delivery, and production operations

Partner with Platform Architects to define platform capabilities, priorities, and success metrics

Act as the voice of internal/external platform users (developers, SREs, infra teams)

Ensure platform abstractions are intuitive, reliable, and scalable

Measure and improve platform effectiveness

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with application engineering, DevEx, Infra, and Security teams

Communicate platform capabilities, constraints, and changes clearly

Influence stakeholders without direct authority

Drive platform adoption across the organization

Required Qualifications

10+ years of overall software engineering experience

5+ years of experience in hands-on positions in DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure

2+ years of engineering management experience

Extensive experience in crafting product roadmaps

Extensive experience in running projects via GitHub/GitLab Issues, Milestones, Releases, etc.

High proficiency with cloud-native technologies (Kubernetes, containers, cloud services)

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tools

Strong understanding of system design, reliability, and scalability

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Track record of mentoring engineers, setting technical direction, and raising the bar for code quality

Experience building API control planes, reconciliation loops, or state machines for infrastructure automation

Strong opinions on testing, observability, and building systems that are easy to debug and operate
