Engineering Manager, Linkerd / Kubernetes Infrastructure

About the role

Buoyant, the company behind Linkerd, is hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a senior engineering team building core Kubernetes service mesh infrastructure. This role is open to Staff/Principal Engineers, TLMs, or newer Engineering Managers who have strong technical leadership experience and want to move into hands-on management.

This is not a generic people-management role. The right person will be technically credible with senior infrastructure engineers and comfortable staying close to systems design, architecture, execution, and coaching.
