Engineering Manager, Cloud Infrastructure

About the company

Our client is a software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead a small group of cloud engineers who install and operate a software platform within customer-owned cloud accounts. Blend hands-on technical guidance with people management, process design and customer communication as the group shifts from one-off efforts to a repeatable delivery approach.

What you'll do

- Manage and grow a small team of cloud engineers through coaching, career development and hiring.

- Make the key technical decisions and set direction for secure deployments in customer-controlled AWS and GCP accounts.

- Introduce light-touch structure such as written documentation, reusable runbooks and scalable processes so delivery no longer rests on any one person.

- Act as the main technical voice with customers during rollout and onboarding discussions, travelling only occasionally.

- Coordinate with engineering, research and product colleagues on schedules and scope for live customer projects.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 5 to 12 years of engineering experience, including prior ownership of deployments into customer-managed cloud environments.

- A background at high-growth technology, AI-native or biotech companies.

- Solid hands-on software engineering ability, leaning toward backend or fullstack work, with Python experience.

- Experience designing system architectures and APIs for scalable, production-grade services.

- Working knowledge of cloud networking, including VPCs, DNS, secrets handling and proxies.

- Practical experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling and GitOps workflows.

- Bachelor's degree in computer science or a STEM-related field.
