We encourage each other to think big, run experiments and follow our curiosity so we can build better tooling that lets developers shine and empower their users.
About the team
Privy is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow a team of Infrastructure engineers. As an Engineering Manager at Privy, you will lead, grow, and shape high-performing engineering teams that make a massive impact on our product and industry. Your North Star is to enable and drive towards the success of Privy’s business overall.
As the Engineering Manager of your team, the buck stops with you: you are the owner of your team’s ultimate impact on Privy’s product and business. We believe that excellence in management is why our team loves working at Privy. Incredible managers are the core driver behind Privy’s long-term success: they are force multipliers, performance coaches, culture-carriers. They build the scaffolding that supports the team and each individual’s greatest impact. They shape Privy to be the place where each person gets to do the very best work of their careers.
We wake up every day driven to show up for our team. We shape roles around the unique strengths of every person and we are deeply grateful for the time we spend together building something greater than ourselves.
Infrastructure at Privy is fundamentally a product. With both internal engineers (and increasingly non-engineers) as direct consumers of infra platforms, as well as external product offerings, it is essential that the infra team creates powerful abstractions, educates and grows the Privy team on shipping ever-better software, and operates deeply efficient tooling to be the lever arm for which Privy moves the world.
