[Hiring] Engineering Manager, Cloud @Brain Corp

Role Description

Brain Corp runs one of the world's largest fleets of autonomous mobile robots, and the Cloud Platform is the nervous system that connects all of it.

You'll lead a team of strong cloud engineers, own the platform's reliability and roadmap, and shape the architecture for Brain's next phase of scale, with the mandate and the executive backing to grow the team, raise the bar, and turn the cloud platform into a product others build on.

The Engineering Manager, Cloud is a hands-on leader. People leadership and delivery are the core of the job, and you'll stay close enough to the technology to make sound architectural calls and earn the trust of senior engineers.
