Details

We are looking for a seasoned Senior Engineering Manager to lead and scale a highly skilled team responsible for building, optimizing, and maintaining the infrastructure that powers both Collibra production and developer environments at scale. This includes managing virtualized and containerized environments (primarily Kubernetes), as well as core messaging and eventing tools like RabbitMQ, and shared platform services such as Elasticsearch.

Responsibilities

  • Provide architectural leadership for large-scale, distributed systems, ensuring that infrastructure is scalable, reliable, and cost-effective.
  • Drive the design, implementation, and ongoing optimization of our cloud-based infrastructure, focusing on containers (Kubernetes) and virtual machine environments.
  • Lead the design and implementation of cloud networking solutions for production and development environments, ensuring scalability, high availability, and security across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
  • Drive the adoption of GitOps practices across the infrastructure and development teams, using ArgoCD to automate Kubernetes application deployment and infrastructure provisioning.
  • Oversee the architecture and management of messaging and eventing systems (e.g., RabbitMQ, Pulsar) to enable robust, scalable communication across microservices and distributed applications.
  • Ensure operational excellence, high availability, scalability, and efficiency, while providing tools and systems that enhance developer productivity.
  • Mentor, coach, and grow engineers on the team; collaborate with other engineering leaders to define long-term infrastructure strategy.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in a leadership or management role overseeing teams focused on infrastructure, SRE, cloud platforms, and DevOps practices.
  • Proven expertise managing large-scale, distributed infrastructure systems, including containerized environments (primarily Kubernetes), virtual machines, and cloud services (AWS, GCP).
  • Expertise in cloud networking (VPCs, DNS, routing, security groups, VPNs, load balancing) and experience with Istio and service mesh technologies (traffic management, observability, mTLS, security features).
  • Proficiency with infrastructure automation and configuration management tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
  • Experience with ArgoCD and GitOps principles for automating Kubernetes-based deployments and managing infrastructure as code (IaC).
  • Deep experience with messaging and event-driven architectures, including RabbitMQ, Apache Pulsar, or similar technologies.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent related working experience is required.
  • This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
  • Because this role supports the US government, the candidate must be a US citizen who resides on US soil.

You Are

  • An excellent leader with a track record of managing, mentoring, and developing high-performing engineering teams.
  • A strong communicator, capable of presenting technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and making data-driven decisions.
  • Highly motivated, result oriented, and data driven with a strong commitment to deliver.
  • An advocate for developer productivity, ensuring teams have the right tools, environments, and infrastructure to accelerate software delivery.
  • Collaborative with other engineering leaders to define long-term infrastructure strategy, ensuring alignment with company goals and future technical needs.

Compensation

  • Standard base salary range: $184,000 - $230,000 per year.
  • Position is not eligible for additional commission-based compensation.
  • Salary offers are based on experience, skills, and location.
  • Additional compensation elements: equity ownership, bonus potential, a Flex Fund monthly stipend, pension/401k plans, and more.
