About the role

Manager of Engineering Operations leading technical team and standardizing architecture for telecom platform. Focused on enhancing developer experience and defining engineering standards.

Responsibilities

Partner with engineering leadership to evolve and standardize the foundational architecture for a cloud-native, event-driven telecom platform — identifying areas for improvement and driving safe, incremental modernization alongside active development
Own developer experience: build tooling, CI pipeline performance, dependency management, and inner-source contribution models across a shared monorepo
Govern shared UI component standards and design system practices used across teams
Establish and maintain engineering standards: RFCs, ADRs, architecture reviews
Partner closely with Operations and SRE to define observability standards (tracing, logging, metrics), SLO/SLI frameworks, and reliability practices
Champion AI-first development practices across tooling, workflows, and culture
Manage and develop a small, established team of senior engineers

5+ years of backend engineering experience, with hands-on proficiency in Golang or similar languages
Deep experience with event-driven and async architectures — Kafka, NATS, or comparable systems
Background in platform or infrastructure engineering: you've built shared internal platforms, not just product features
Experience defining engineering standards at an org level — RFCs, ADRs, or architecture review processes
Strong DevOps sensibility: CI/CD, containerization, Kubernetes, cloud-native infrastructure
Experience managing or mentoring engineers, with a bias toward growing people through the work
Comfortable working with ambiguity and incomplete requirements.
