Senior Manager, Engineering (Container Product Engineering)

Responsibilities

• Team Leadership
• Lead and manage the Container Product Engineering team, setting clear goals, managing performance, and running a healthy operating cadence. Organize the team into small sub-teams of two to four engineers, each with one project and clear ownership.
• Grow Engineers: Coach a senior-heavy team, including Staff and Principal engineers. Give direct feedback, build career paths, handle underperformance early and humanely, and make this a team people want to join.
• Partner with Recruiting to hire, leading interviews and calibrating the bar.
• Product Partnership: Work with the Containers Product Managers and Technical Program Manager to turn product requirements into outcomes and projects. Insist on requirements and design docs before a cycle starts, and protect the team from mid-cycle churn.
• Technical Direction and Quality: Hold the technical bar. Review designs and pull requests, and make or assign the final call on contested technical decisions while keeping dissenting engineers heard and committed.
• Hands-On Contribution: Read the code, review pull requests, and ship occasionally. Know the systems well enough to ask the hard questions and to spot drift early.
• AI-Native Operating Model
• Lead the team's adoption of agentic coding tools across design, implementation, review, and operations, with review quality and safety guardrails that hold up as volume grows.
• Forecasting and Planning
