Engineering Manager for the Platform Engineering (Infrastructure) team — 7 engineers across Portugal and the US, owning the infrastructure every other engineering team at Salsify builds on: Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS and Azure, CI/CD, secrets management, observability, and our internal management platform.
This is a hands-on, tactical engineering management role. The team is senior, autonomous and technically strong. They don't need to be told what to build. They need someone who removes obstacles, holds the standard, protects their focus, and represents their work credibly upstream.
Runs production infrastructure across several platforms;
Owns IMP, our internal management platform (Go, Temporal, GraphQL), through which the organisation provisions services, manages secrets, runs Kubernetes operations and deploys;
Operates the security programme in partnership with InfoSec — cloud posture, vulnerability management, secrets rotation, access management;
Delivers a roadmap alongside all of the above: platform migrations, version-currency upgrades, cost reduction and new platform capability;
What you'd own in the first year
A team of 7 across several timezones;
The balance between roadmap and reactive work — the hardest and most valuable thing in this role;
Representing infrastructure upstream — to product teams, to engineering leadership, and increasingly to finance and procurement on cost and vendor decisions;
The team's growth and healthiness;
You'll Enjoy This Role If You Have
Experience managing engineers in an infrastructure, platform or SRE context — this team will know quickly whether you understand their work
Tactical strength. Comfortable in the detail: unblocking a stuck migration, making a judgment call during an incident, deciding what gets deferred when everything is urgent
A track record of protecting a team's focus against a continuous stream of external requests, without becoming a bottleneck yourself
The ability to work with senior, opinionated engineers — challenging their thinking without undermining their autonomy
Clear written communication, particularly translating technical trade-offs for non-technical audiences. A significant part of this role is making infrastructure legible to people who don't work in it
Comfort with ambiguity and change
Strongly preferred
Hands-on familiarity with Kubernetes, Terraform and AWS — you don't need to write the code, but you need to follow the conversation and ask the right questions
Experience with cloud cost management and vendor negotiation
Having worked in a security-conscious environment — SOC/ISO audit exposure, vulnerability management programmes
