Senior Engineering Manager, Tiger Cloud Apps

At Tiger Data, formerly Timescale, we empower developers and businesses with the fastest PostgreSQL platform designed for transactional, analytical, and agentic workloads. Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, Tiger accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale. As a globally distributed, remote-first team committed to direct communication, accountability, and collaborative excellence, we're shaping the future of data infrastructure, built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.

SENIOR ENGINEERING MANAGER – TIGER CLOUD APPS

We're looking for an exceptional engineering leader to build and grow the team behind Console — the primary interface our customers use to work with the Tiger platform, the Tiger CLI https://github.com/timescale/tiger-cli and the MCP. This is a high-ownership leadership role on a team that is establishing new ways of working, reorganizing, and pushing hard to execute on product. You'll lead a group of full-stack engineers working predominantly in JavaScript and Go, owning the surfaces and services that push the Console to the next level.

We're looking for a leader who can set technical and organizational direction, raise the bar for quality, and shape a strong engineering culture as the team grows. Staying close enough to the technology to make sound architectural and prioritization calls is essential.

This is a remote and full-time position.

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

• Lead, grow, and mentor a team of engineers, owning hiring, performance management, career development, and team health.

• Own the Console end to end — the UI customers use to operate the platform, including observability, user management, and developer-experience features such as chunk-size optimization and other cloud-only capabilities.

• Own the strategy and delivery of developer tooling alongside the Console, including the Tiger CLI and MCP integrations.

• Own billing end to end, from the underlying services through the customer-facing experience.

• Set technical direction across a predominantly JavaScript and Go stack, balancing speed of delivery, polish, and long-term maintainability.

• Establish engineering practices, conventions, and culture for a team that is actively reorganizing and ramping up execution, and help drive the broader organizational change.

• Partner closely with Product, Design, and other engineering leaders to turn a roadmap into shipped, polished features.

• Be an enthusiastic and personable leader who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and write code

YOU'D BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU HAVE

• 8+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineers or engineering teams.

• A track record of building and leading high-performing full-stack teams that ship customer-facing products.

• Strong technical depth with hands-on experience in JavaScript and modern frontend, plus Go (or comparable backend) services.

• Experience owning complex, customer-facing domains end to end — ideally including billing, observability, user/account management, or developer-experience tooling.

• A proven ability to set culture, standards, and direction during periods of growth or reorganization, and to push a team to execute.

• Strong product sense and the judgment to balance polish, velocity, and reliability.

• Passion for building experiences developers love, and for developing the people who build them.

• Bonus: experience with CLIs, MCP, or building tooling for technical/developer audiences.

OUR COMMITMENT:

• We respond to every applicant.

• We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.

• We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey.

• We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization.
