## About the role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to build and lead the team responsible for workload orchestration — the infrastructure that lets nTop customers define, launch, monitor, and collect results from large-scale distributed computation jobs. This team will be small by design : senior engineers, AI-native workflows, high individual leverage. We'll grow when the work earns it. One founding engineer is in place; you will hire and lead the rest while contributing to systems spanning

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineering teams, experience building and shipping distributed systems or infrastructure software
- Hands-on expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, and at least one cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure), deep understanding of job scheduling and compute-intensive workloads at scale
- Experience shipping into customer-managed environments — on-prem, hybrid, or air-gapped
- Track record of building teams : recruiting, developing, and making hard performance calls
- Strong collaboration skills with PMs, designers, and field engineers, able to reason about customer value, not just technical elegance
