Engineering Operations Manager

The Engineering Operations Manager owns the tools, processes, and integrations that support the Product Engineering and Technical Program Management organization. The role is shifting from tool administration toward engineering productivity and operations: reducing friction in engineering workflows, building the integrations and AI-assisted SDLC tooling that make that possible, and serving as the technical lead for junior team members working in that space.

The ideal candidate is a fully competent, independent technical contributor who can also mentor less experienced colleagues. They are comfortable learning new technologies, building integrations, evaluating AI-assisted output critically, and driving adoption of better ways of working across diverse teams.
