Engineering Manager (AI Native)

Requirements:

• 8+ years in engineering, including 2+ years managing engineers directly.
• Depth in backend fundamentals: distributed systems, API and event-driven design, data modelling, idempotency, caching, observability.
• You've owned high-traffic services and the incidents that came with them.
• LLM systems shipped and operated in production: retrieval, tool calling, orchestration, guardrails, evals, fallback behaviour, latency and cost budgets.
• Hands-on: you prototype, review designs and code, and can build an agent or eval harness yourself when that's faster than explaining it. Not carrying sprint work, but never far from it.
