Description
We're looking for an Engineering Manager for Network Infrastructure to own delivery of network infrastructure initiatives in APAC. This is not a role for someone who only coordinates tickets and status. It is a role for someone with an engineering skeleton: a person who has built, operated, broken and recovered things, and can earn the trust of SREs, SWEs, network engineers, and security and platform teams.
You will make important cross-team initiatives land: defining scope, aligning owners, exposing risks, driving decisions, tracking dependencies, and making sure we ship useful outcomes instead of half-finished initiatives.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Set the engineering bar: code quality, design review, on-call and incident management practices, and operational standards
- Own end-to-end delivery of cross-team network infrastructure initiatives in APAC, from a vague problem statement to an executable plan to adoption
- Define scope and success criteria, align owners across SRE, SWE, network, security, platform and data center teams, and drive decisions to closure
- Review designs and technical proposals, challenge missing assumptions, and surface failure modes, dependencies and risks early
- Stay hands-on where it matters: step into incidents, write code or automation, and unblock the team
- Drive adoption: make sure tools and workflows become the default way of working, with real documentation, runbooks and feedback loops
- Keep stakeholders, including the European teams, informed with clear, honest status and coordinate across time zones
- Turn operational pain and engineering input into a clear, prioritized backlog
We expect you to have:
- 7+ years of experience in software, SRE, network or infrastructure engineering, including experience leading cross-team technical initiatives
- A real engineering background: you have built and operated production systems and can earn the trust of deeply technical teams
- Ability to read design docs and technical proposals, understand trade-offs, and ask sharp questions about reliability, rollback, blast radius and failure modes
- Strong understanding of infrastructure fundamentals (Linux, networking, automation, CI/CD) at the level needed to hold your own in technical discussions
- Proven ability to drive decisions and create clarity in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including documenting plans and decisions and influencing smart technical people
- Ability to work independently in an early-stage environment and to build processes from scratch
- Professional working proficiency in English (spoken and written) and comfort working across time zones
Benefits & Perks:
- Competitive compensation
- Career growth and learning opportunities
- Flexibility and ownership
- Collaborative and innovative culture
- Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
- International environment and talented teams
