About the role
We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Engineering teams at Ethos.

- Hire, grow, and retain strong engineers and leads, and mentor the team through design and architecture reviews
- Partner with Product and Staff Engineers to build the technical roadmap and run quarterly planning
- Own cross-team architectural decisions and the internal standards other teams build on: service decomposition, event schema evolution, inter-service contract stability
- Drive operational excellence: observability, runbook quality, postmortem culture, and the reduction of toil

- Kafka
- PRD writing
- Datadog
- Incident response
