THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re seeking an Engineering Manager with deep experience across infrastructure, devops, cloud, and application development to join our fully remote team. While your primary focus will be on building, securing, and operating the robust systems that power Soundstripe, you’ll also be hands-on in application development, collaborating across all corners of our product suite.
In this fluid and highly collaborative environment, you’ll guide a versatile team responsible for everything from the security and scalability of our core infrastructure, to delivering new features and improvements in our Rails web application, public API for enterprise customers, React Native mobile app, and creative extensions—like our Adobe Premiere tools and Twitch integration. You’ll work side-by-side with Product and Design, adapting to shifting priorities, and ensuring we deliver secure, reliable, and innovative solutions for all our users. If you’re a proactive, adaptable leader who thrives on variety, drives accountability, and values strong engineering culture in a distributed setting, we’d love to meet you.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Champion both the big picture and the small details—leading and supporting a team of engineers building and maintaining the vital infrastructure behind our products and services.
• Dig into code, config, and best practices when needed. You’re comfortable moving between architecting the next system, reviewing a pull request, and jumping into an incident call.
• Guide your team through technical challenges; whether it’s deploying a new cloud service, scaling our databases, or tightening security.
• Lead effective, high-trust project planning, milestone delivery, and sprint execution, always looking for ways to make work smoother and more reliable.
• Be the guardian of operational excellence: implement, monitor, and continually improve our infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and security posture.
• Own our security practices. You’ll oversee everything from incident response to security audits, and help create a culture where everyone knows how to keep our apps and data safe.
• Inspire your team to grow: coach, mentor, perform reviews, and foster an environment of curiosity, learning, and honest feedback.
• Collaborate deeply with Product and Design, partnering on everything from feature planning to launch, and ensuring engineering’s voice is heard in every conversation.
• Contribute ideas, process improvements, technical guidance, and your unique energy in a fully remote, distributed environment.
