Job Description
Engineering Manager
Primer
• Lead a team of engineers owning a defined area of software architecture, taking responsibility for delivery, quality, and technical direction • Run an effective development process: sprint health, delivery cadence, incident response, postmortems, and a sustainable on-call rotation that doesn't burn people out • Grow the engineers on your team through regular feedback, performance conversations, and stretch assignments that actually move people forward • Work closely with product to scope initiatives, identify risks, and prioritise deliverables, giving clear heads-up when capacity is constrained • Stay close enough to your team's technical work to ask the right questions, spot risks early, and contribute meaningfully to design discussions without becoming a bottleneck • Define the right metrics for your team's systems, use them to explain performance, catch variance, and drive improvements before they become incidents • Handle the difficult conversations, whether that's performance issues, interpersonal friction, or delivery risk, before they become problems that need escalating
Job Requirements
- A background as a software engineer, with hands-on experience building and shipping production systems. This is a hard requirement.
- Experience managing a team of engineers, with a track record of building effective development processes and growing individual contributors
- Technically credible enough to evaluate design decisions, challenge assumptions, and be taken seriously by strong engineers, without needing to be the most technical person in the room
- Comfortable with operational ownership: on-call culture, incident management, postmortems, and the unglamorous work of keeping systems healthy
- Clear, direct communication with stakeholders and leadership, including knowing when and how to escalate and when not to
- Able to operate with meaningful autonomy: you don't need a playbook for every situation, but you know when to ask for one
- Nice to have: Experience in fintech, payments, or a similarly regulated and high-stakes technical domain
- Nice to have: Familiarity with distributed systems and the trade-offs that come with high-throughput, high-availability infrastructure
Benefits
- We are fully remote and globally distributed; and have been since day one
- Competitive share options
- Uncapped holiday, with 25 days minimum to be taken
- Co-working space access
- Workations & Company Retreat
- The best equipment for your role
- £500 towards your home office setup
- Generous learning budget
- Private Medical Insurance
- A broad set of additional perks and benefits (*depending on location)*

• You'll lead the Infrastructure team — a group of 5-8 engineers responsible for the foundation everything else at Renew Home runs on. • The team owns cloud accounts, networking, security, CI/CD, deployment tooling, observability, and the developer experience that surrounds all of it. • Other engineering teams build on top of what your team provides — your team's leverage shows up in how fast the rest of the company can ship. • This is a hands-on engineering manager role. You'll spend most of your time on people, planning, and cross-team alignment, but you should be technical enough to debate architecture, review a tricky design doc, and sense when a project is in trouble before it lands on your desk.

Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you. About the Role: We're building the next generation technologies that will power CrowdStrike for the next ten years — and we need a leader who can help us build the team that builds them. As Senior Manager of Cloud Engineering, you'll join a fast-moving, early-stage team taking a blank-slate approach to scaling our systems and using AI to stop breaches. This is not a purely people management role. You'll be deeply embedded in the technical work — leading code reviews, driving architecture discussions and owning operational readiness — while simultaneously expanding and developing a growing engineering team.

What You'll Do: - Step into an early-stage team that is partly in place and help shape, grow and scale - Lead code reviews, architecture discussions and operational readiness reviews - Define and drive the technical direction for significant components of our next-generation cloud architecture, collaborating with our most senior technologists - Partner closely with desktop agent and AI teams - Own and deliver large-scale, cross-functional engineering projects — from technical and architecture planning through to execution and accountability - Champion continuous improvement through design reviews, post-mortems and engineering best practices - Hire, develop and retain exceptional engineers - Foster a culture that mirrors the best engineering traits: comfort with ambiguity, propensity to action and strong cross-team collaboration What You'll Need: - B.S. degree in Computer Science or related field - 5+ years of experience managing engineers, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams - Hands-on experience building and operating high-volume, highly resilient Tier-1 cloud services and systems - Strong knowledge of Go, Java or similar technologies - Demonstrated ability to own and deliver large, complex engineering projects across multiple teams and stakeholders - Proven ability to operate with ambiguity and make sound technical decisions with limited information - Strong sense of ownership and accountability for what your team builds and ships - Experience driving technical decisions and alignment across groups with competing priorities - Ability to communicate complex technical ideas in writing and verbally Bonus Points: - Experience managing machine learning (ML) or data engineering teams - Experience scaling and developing an early-stage engineering team, building on an existing foundation rather than starting from zero #LI-DR1 Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike: - Market leader in compensation and equity awards - Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs - Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge - Paid parental and adoption leaves - Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role - Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections - Vibrant office culture with world class amenities - Great Place to Work Certified™ across the globe CrowdStrike is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
