GitHub is looking for an experienced engineering manager to lead a high performance software engineering team focused on the observability of our production systems. Part of the team’s mandate is to strategically balance business needs with meaningful contributions to our industry through open source. Through your leadership and mentoring, this team will establish a reputation for thought leadership, openness, and help drive our internal strategy around observability.

Timeseries, application logs, RPC tracing, software exception tracking, and increased inter-service visibility are examples how the observability team improves engineer confidence when working with production services. To achieve this, the team promotes common observability patterns for our engineers and manages the availability, resilience, and sustainability of infrastructure that supports these patterns. This infrastructure takes the form of third-party integrations, open source technologies, as well as bespoke infrastructure.

As an engineering manager at GitHub, you will bring technical excellence, personal accountability, coaching, and strategic vision to the team. A successful engineering manager balances their own individual contributions with servant leader obligations to their team. As you work closely with domain experts and our technical leads, you will join our community of people managers and help us build an environment where everyone can do their best work and grow as professionals.

As part of the infrastructure organization, you will be a part of a team of like-minded professionals trying to change the world. You will thrive by leveraging your strong communication and collaboration skills in a supportive environment of remote work and asynchronous communication.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead a team of infrastructure software engineers to establish cross-functional observability patterns and best practices throughout GitHub.
  • Build and maintain reliable observability infrastructure to support these patterns.
  • Develop a team of world-class engineers through 1-1’s, coaching, and career advocacy.
  • Balance proactive open source community participation with GitHub’s needs.
  • Build a team based on psychological safety, mutual support, and engineering excellence.
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Success as an engineering manager.
  • A track record of service ownership and accountability.
  • Proficiency with systems language such as Go, C/C++, or Rust.
  • Technical credibility through software engineering skills and experience.
  • A desire to coach, mentor, and grow the careers of the team.
  • Familiarity with observability landscape and technical solutions.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Evidence of open source advocacy.
  • A strong desire to bridge involvement with open source communities.
  • Experience managing a distributed team.
  • Proficiency in high-level languages such as Ruby, Python and Bash.
