We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our email platform team, which is responsible for building services and backend systems that personalize and deliver billions of emails, efficiently and quickly. The team is on a path of breaking up our monolith implementation of the email pipeline into microservice built in Python and Golang, running in Kubernetes. We use Google Cloud hosted infrastructure services including Google Kubernetes Engine, BigQuery, and Cloud SQL.

As the leader of the email pipeline team, you will be responsible for developing the engineers, processes, and technology to solve some of Bluecore’s toughest challenges. The ideal candidate has a strong technical background and a track record of working with teams solving problems with simple solutions. We are looking for people who are just as excited about scaling technical solutions as they are about scaling people and organizations. We see technology as a means to solving problems and getting things done and thus prioritize talent over existing skill sets. Our Engineering Managers are people who view their roles as supporting the team rather than running it. Our culture emphasizes making good tradeoffs, working as a team, and leaving your ego at the door.
