## About the role

Fora Travel is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead and grow the Platform Team, the foundational engineering group responsible for the reliability, scalability, and developer experience that powers Fora's entire product suite. Our platform spans cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, observability systems, security, and the core tooling that lets every engineering team at Fora move fast and ship with confidence.

- Strong technical acumen, with the ability to engage deeply in architecture decisions, infrastructure design, and engineering fundamentals rather than managing from a distance
- Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), container orchestration, CI/CD systems, observability tooling, and database reliability at scale
- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, manage performance thoughtfully, and build teams that are engaged and growing
- Exceptional project management and organizational skills, including the ability to break down complex infrastructure work, anticipate risks, and deliver consistently high-quality outcomes
