Engineering Manager - Platform Engineering
Salsify, Portugal +1
The role
Engineering Manager for the Platform Engineering (Infrastructure) team — 7 engineers across Portugal and the US, owning the infrastructure every other engineering team at Salsify builds on: Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS and Azure, CI/CD, secrets management, observability, and our internal management platform.
This is a hands-on, tactical engineering management role. The team is senior, autonomous and technically strong. They don't need to be told what to build. They need someone who removes obstacles, holds the standard, protects their focus, and represents their work credibly upstream.
What you will do
- A team of 7 across several timezones;
- The balance between roadmap and reactive work — the hardest and most valuable thing in this role;
- Representing infrastructure upstream – to product teams, to engineering leadership, and increasingly to finance and procurement on cost and vendor decisions;
- The team's growth and healthiness;
