About The Position

At ClassWallet, we are redefining how public funds reach the people who need them. We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Team. This is a role for a technical leader who views infrastructure, financial efficiency, and technical clarity as foundational structural elements of a high-performing engineering organization.
Reporting to the Director of Architecture, you will own the critical intersection of platform reliability, cost-efficiency, and engineering velocity. Your work will ensure that our infrastructure remains a robust, scalable, and fiscally responsible foundation, maintaining the highest levels of trust with our partners. You will work as a high-impact leader, driving the continuous evolution of our systems while mentoring the next generation of engineering talent.
The ideal candidate thrives in high-stakes environments and possesses a deep "builder" mindset combined with exceptional leadership skills.

Requirements

• Modern DevOps: A deep understanding of modern DevOps principles. You champion automation, "shifting left" on reliability, and building seamless CI/CD pipelines that empower developers to deploy with confidence.
• Documentation Excellence: A relentless advocate for continuous documentation. You believe that a feature isn't "done" until it is documented. You will lead the Platform Team to be the company's gold standard for technical clarity, maintaining impeccable playbooks, architecture diagrams, and decision logs.
• Platform Cost Optimization: Proven experience in cloud cost optimization and governance. You have successfully implemented strategies to maximize infrastructure ROI without impacting platform performance.
• People Development: You are extremely proficient at people development. You have a demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, build career progression frameworks, and foster a high-accountability culture.
• Global Coordination: Extensive experience leading teams across disparate time zones. You are proficient at coordinating work asynchronously and managing 24/7 operations to ensure global platform reliability.
• Kubernetes Understanding: A solid working knowledge of Kubernetes and container orchestration. You are comfortable guiding the team through architectural discussions, rightsizing, and scaling challenges.
• Escalation & Security: Proficiency in escalation best practices and a working knowledge of modern security practices. You ensure the platform is hardened against threats and that incident responses are handled with transparency and speed.
• Process Improvement: A "continuous improvement" mindset focused on operational efficiency. You identify bottlenecks and implement frameworks to increase delivery velocity and system stability.

Benefits

• We offer an excellent salary and benefits commensurate with experience.
• ClassWallet is a positive, family-oriented team environment. Our focus is on encouragement, positive reinforcement, and gratitude. We work hard and are highly motivated to win but with a healthy perspective on life.
