Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Lead the Realtime engineering team, including performance management, career development, hiring, and team structure.
- Own the roadmap and delivery priorities for a globally distributed real-time platform supporting messaging, presence, and database change notifications.
- Accountable for service quality and operations: maintain SLOs, coordinate customer-facing incident response, and turn blameless reviews into improvements.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: At least 5 years of engineering experience and at least 3 years managing remote engineering teams.
- Prior experience leading a team building and operating a low-latency, high-connection service, such as WebSockets, pub/sub, messaging, presence, or streaming systems.
- Strong distributed-systems knowledge, including clustering, rate limiting, backpressure, and capacity planning.
- Experience leading production incidents for customer-facing services, including follow-up reviews, and shipping real-time APIs or SDKs to external customers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Has managed experienced engineers in globally distributed, asynchronous teams spanning multiple time zones.
- Can guide technical trade-offs and delivery for complex real-time infrastructure while balancing performance, reliability, scalability, and operating costs.
- Brings a developer-product perspective to real-time APIs or SDKs and is comfortable establishing direction and structure in an ambiguous environment.
