About the role

The Engineering Manager for Launch & Sandboxes will lead the development and delivery of two key product areas: Sandboxes and Launch.

• Stay close to how ML practitioners use the product and drive team priorities
• Make hard prioritization calls, hold the bar on engineering quality, and build teams that operate with autonomy and urgency

Experience managing teams through a product area transition (e.g., early-stage to growth, or post-acquisition integration)
Background in HPC or scientific computing environments
Experience with billing systems, metering, or usage-based pricing infrastructure
Founding experience or early-stage background where you took a product from idea to the hands of users

Skills
