We are looking for an Engineering Manager to build and lead our PostgreSQL Devex and Analytics. This team’s mission is bold and clear: Make building modern apps effortless, backed by the world’s most resilient Postgres database. You will guide a team of engineers in building workflows, integrations, and tools that remove friction from application development—making PostgreSQL not just reliable and scalable, but also a joy to use. Your leadership will directly shape how developers interact with databases in modern app development, from prototyping to production at scale.
Job Responsibility:
Lead with Impact: Foster a culture of speed and agility — balancing quality with a bias for action and continuous learning
Drive Impactful Delivery: Be accountable for the team’s output and outcomes — ensuring deliveries are not just on time, but make a real difference in developer adoption and usability
Experiment & Iterate: Foster a culture of experimentation, where quick changes and developer feedback loops guide the team’s priorities
Shape the Strategy: Partner with product management to define and deliver the roadmap, bringing engineering insights and developer empathy into the vision
Build Developer-Centric Tools: Oversee the creation of user experience, APIs, integrations to the broader developer ecosystem, and workflows that reduce friction and accelerate app development
Champion Developer Efficiency - Ensure teams operate at peak effectiveness by removing friction, minimizing waste, and optimizing processes for consistent high performance
Grow the Team: Hire, mentor, and develop engineers who thrive in fast-moving, outcome-driven environments
Keep Developer Empathy at the Core: Stay close to developers through feedback loops, research, and hands-on usage of our tools
Requirements:
2+ years experience in a leadership position
5+ years of experience as a software developer
A bias for action — you move quickly from idea to experiment to delivery, avoiding excessive planning or analysis paralysis
Passion for developer experience—understanding the challenges developers face and turning them into elegant solutions
Comfort with fast, iterative delivery cycles — you default to experimentation over excessive planning and analysis
Understanding of what it takes to build high performing teams and to retain talent
A good understanding of database systems - knowledge on PostgreSQL is a big plus
