Senior Engineering Manager, Postgres

Requirements

  • 8+ years in software engineering, including 3+ years managing engineers in infrastructure, databases, or developer platforms.
  • Experience building and operating a customer-facing stateful service with demanding availability, durability, security, and performance requirements.
  • Working knowledge of PostgreSQL or managed relational databases, including replication, WAL, high availability, recovery, upgrades, observability, or performance diagnosis.
  • Technical credibility to engage deeply in architecture and incidents without owning daily implementation.
  • A record of hiring, coaching, developing, and retaining engineers, including senior ICs.
  • Strong execution judgment across ambiguity, parallel workstreams, risk, and long-term system health.
  • A customer mindset, strong Product partnership, clear communication, and distributed-team leadership.

Nice to have

  • Managed PostgreSQL, relational database, or cloud control-plane leadership.
  • PostgreSQL internals, extensions, replication, storage, performance, or database reliability depth.
  • AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, or multi-region experience.
  • Experience taking infrastructure from early adoption through general availability.
  • Open-source, technical writing, speaking, startup, or founder experience.

What you'll be doing

  • Lead, coach, and grow a high-performing team through clear expectations, feedback, development, and direct performance management.
  • Own outcomes across provisioning, fleet management, failover, point-in-time recovery, upgrades, observability, performance, and security.
  • Turn customer and business needs into a multi-quarter roadmap with incremental milestones.
  • Guide architecture and help senior engineers make explicit, sound tradeoffs.
  • Raise operational quality across SLOs, on-call, incidents, maintenance, and automation.
  • Work directly with customers and turn recurring pain into product improvements.
  • Align dependencies, surface risks early, and keep execution predictable across a distributed organization.
  • Hire the right mix of PostgreSQL, systems, infrastructure, reliability, and product engineering talent while fostering ownership and clear technical debate.
