Engineering Manager - Core Infra

You'll own the health, direction, and delivery of the Core Infra team. The team owns the systems the rest of engineering builds on, including the graph service, CI/CD, and core developer tooling. It's a small team that leans senior, and its work is a genuine competitive advantage for Cinder. In practice that means:

• Setting clear priorities and a roadmap your team understands. Engineers should know what they're working on, why it matters to the business, and what we're choosing not to do. You'll bring the business context behind the work and translate it into focused execution.
• Owning the interface between Core Infra and the rest of the company. You'll be the clear point of contact for other teams, run the intake process for work coming into Core Infra, and make sure requests are triaged, routed, and prioritized transparently rather than landing through back-channels. You’ll be the default liaison to GTM, FDE, CX and other cross-functional partners, and pick up technical work alongside your team when it helps, without becoming a blocker.
