About this role

Headway is hiring for a Senior Engineering Manager (Infrastructure) role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 5-7+ years of experience of engineering leadership experience, with experience leading infrastructure or platform teams.
  • 5+ years of experience as a Software or Infrastructure Engineer, with enough depth to lead credibly in design reviews and incident response
  • You've personally led the shift from "infra team owns everything" to a self-serve platform other engineers build on themselves — not just inherited or operated a system where that transition had already happened.
  • Experience managing the interface between a platform team and the product engineering teams that depend on it, including setting ownership boundaries and building self-serve tooling
  • Comfortable managing through competing demands: a support queue, a strategic roadmap, an on-call rotation, and fast-moving external dependencies all at once
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure at scale (AWS), observability tooling (Datadog or similar), and deployment pipelines at companies where reliability is a product requirement.
  • You're personally hands-on with AI coding tools day to day — not just driving your team's AI adoption as a program. Every candidate goes through a hands-on AI coding interview as part of this loop
  • Experience owning a platform strategy and representing it to senior leadership: setting measurable goals for infrastructure work, and making the case for foundational investment in terms the business understands
