Based in New York and Cambridge, DigitalOcean is a dynamic, high-growth technology company that serves a robust and passionate community of developers around the world. Our mission is to simplify cloud computing for every developer. We are working on solving some of the most challenging and interesting technology projects around, on a scale unmatched by few companies.

We want people who are passionate about building features that you and your peers will love.

DigitalOcean’s Cloud Storage team is seeking a highly motivated and experienced technical engineering manager to support our engineers and engineering culture, most specifically leading the team developing our software defined Storage products. This person will be responsible for aiding career development, motivating and monitoring engineers, working with engineering leads to evaluate an engineer’s performance, providing coaching, and counseling as needed.

We are looking for someone with a great understanding of teams and process, who will be accountable for the engineering team’s performance and quality. You will also manage the recruitment, selection, and retention of the team as we continue to grow and scale. This role reports into the Director of our Cloud Storage Engineering pillar and can be worked remotely or from our offices in NYC and Cambridge, MA.

What You’ll Be Working On:

  • Recruiting, managing, and maintaining a world-class engineering team
  • Responsible for the overall planning, execution, and success of complex technical projects related to storage
  • Collaborating with technical leads and contributing to the overall architecture, design, and development of core projects related to storage

  • Planning and executing relevant training for the engineering team

What We’ll Expect From You:

  • Domain expertise in Storage stack and having shipped products at scale with a strong customer focus. Working knowledge of Ceph or OpenStack is desired but now required.
  • Proven track record of managing and delivering projects throughout the entire SDLC, delivering products to market on schedule and ensuring feedback loops from customers work their way into development
  • Experience introducing and growing a quick release development environment with short cycles
  • Good cross-disciplinary collaboration experience between engineering, technical operations, and product groups
