[Hiring] Engineering Manager @Akamai

Role Description

Are you a hands-on people-focused engineering leader who enjoys leading teams to solve complex problems? Would leading the development of impactful digital experiences used by millions of users excite you?

Join the User Interface Engineering Team. Our Cloud Technology Group is comprised of dedicated professionals shaping Akamai's aspirations to create an industry-leading user experience. We take ownership for the design and development for core interfaces and services. We create a user experience that allows customers ease of use and helps our internal stakeholders to excel their development.

You will lead a team of engineers responsible for delivering high-quality, enterprise web experiences. You will balance technical oversight with people management, coaching engineers, clarifying requirements, ensuring execution and alignment with product and design partners. While you will bring front-end expertise, your role will focus on leadership, mentorship, and technical direction.

As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for:

• Managing, mentoring, and developing a team of front-end engineers proficient in enterprise user interfaces written in Angular, React, and Lit.
• Providing technical guidance and setting best practices for front-end architecture and UI development.
• Partnering with product management, UX/Designers, and other engineering teams to deliver cohesive user experiences.
• Having oversight of delivery across the full project lifecycle: organizing, planning, development, testing, and release.
• Driving consistency through shared components (Design System experience is a plus), tooling, and engineering standards.
• Supporting hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, and career growth for team members.

Qualifications

• 8 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor in Computer Science or a related field.
• Solid knowledge of front-end technologies including HTML, CSS, TypeScript, and JavaScript.
• Experience with Angular or React.
• Clear understanding of Software Development Life Cycle and Source Code Management Systems (we use git).
• Familiarity with software testing concepts including unit, functional, regression, continuous integration, and performance testing.
• Prior leadership experience and excellent communication skills.
• Passion for building inclusive, high-performing engineering teams.

Benefits

• Support for health, well-being, finances, and life beyond work.
• FlexBase adapts to your job's needs, allowing employees to work in ways that suit them best: at home, in an office, or a combination of both.
