Job Description

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for Runway's product platform and API. You should have experience growing high-performing engineering teams and be deeply interested in the intersection of product development, APIs, and distributed systems. You will will manage our current and growing team of 5. You’ll have a chance to work closely with our product engineering, product management, and finance teams to build low-latency, high-reliability APIs for our AI-powered creation tools as well as the infrastructure to support them.

Job Responsibility

  • Drive platform strategy and architecture for our TypeScript-based API infrastructure, ensuring code quality, maintainability, and scalability as we grow
  • Own the public API domain end-to-end, from technical architecture to revenue growth, ensuring it's a high-quality, revenue-generating platform that developers love
  • Manage our data and analytics infrastructure, ensuring data integrity, security, and accessibility for teams across the company
  • Lead and grow a team of 4-6 platform engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement
  • Partner with Product Engineering teams to unblock new feature launches, providing platform support and ensuring smooth integration between frontend experiences and backend capabilities
  • Own critical data pipelines and metrics that power business decisions across Finance (cost-of-sales, revenue attribution), Support (usage analytics, error tracking), and Product (feature adoption, performance metrics)
  • Work cross-functionally with leadership to set priorities, communicate progress, and align platform investments with business goals

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in an engineering manager or team lead role, with a track record of building and scaling high-performing teams
  • 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience, with specific expertise operating TypeScript services in the cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure)
  • Strong product sensibility and business acumen
  • Experience owning revenue-generating platforms or products, with an understanding of API economics, usage-based pricing, and developer experience
  • Solid foundation in data engineering and analytics, including experience with metrics pipelines, data modeling, and business intelligence tooling
  • Database expertise, particularly in managing production databases at scale, data migrations, and ensuring data integrity
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills
  • Comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration
  • Empathetic and inclusive leadership style that empowers engineers to do their best work
