Job Description
Manager, Engineering – Platform Engineering
Wavelo
• Partner with engineering leadership to evolve and standardize the foundational architecture for a cloud-native, event-driven telecom platform — identifying areas for improvement and driving safe, incremental modernization alongside active development • Own developer experience: build tooling, CI pipeline performance, dependency management, and inner-source contribution models across a shared monorepo • Govern shared UI component standards and design system practices used across teams • Establish and maintain engineering standards: RFCs, ADRs, architecture reviews • Partner closely with Operations and SRE to define observability standards (tracing, logging, metrics), SLO/SLI frameworks, and reliability practices • Champion AI-first development practices across tooling, workflows, and culture • Manage and develop a small, established team of senior engineers
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience, with hands-on proficiency in Golang or similar languages
- Deep experience with event-driven and async architectures — Kafka, NATS, or comparable systems
- Background in platform or infrastructure engineering: you've built shared internal platforms, not just product features
- Experience defining engineering standards at an org level — RFCs, ADRs, or architecture review processes
- Strong DevOps sensibility: CI/CD, containerization, Kubernetes, cloud-native infrastructure
- Experience managing or mentoring engineers, with a bias toward growing people through the work
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and incomplete requirements.
Benefits
- generous benefits
- fair compensation

Senior Platform Engineer
Element451The #1 Student Engagement Platform for Higher Education Admissions, Enrollment, and Beyond
• You'll keep Element451's platform reliable, secure, and operable - and build the delivery systems that let it scale without scaling the firefighting. This is a hands-on senior IC role, and a deliberately broad one: reliability and operations are the core, with CI/CD and delivery, security, infrastructure, and data reliability all real, recurring parts of the work. • You own the operational health of the platform - that it's available, fast, observable, and safe in production - and you build the automation that makes those properties durable rather than heroic. • Participate in on-call, lead incident response, run blameless post-incident reviews, and drive issues to root cause rather than patching symptoms. • Treat operational toil as engineering work to eliminate - relentlessly automate remediation, sharpen alert quality, and drive down MTTD and MTTR rather than absorbing manual load. • Own and evolve the CI/CD and delivery platform alongside the Director of Platform Engineering - build pipelines, deployment automation, environment management, and release tooling - so shipping is routine, safe, and low-drama, with progressive delivery, automated rollback, and production validation gates as standard. • Be the platform's hands-on security operator - IAM and least-privilege hygiene, secrets management, threat detection and response (WAF, GuardDuty), and vulnerability triage and remediation against SLA.
