About this role

Knock is hiring for a Engineering Manager, Platform role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience as an engineering manager in a startup or mid-sized company, leading a platform or infrastructure team that operates at scale.
  • Strong technical foundations to own an inherently deeply technical area of our service. You should be capable of making strong technical contributions, even though you should seldom be spending time doing so.
  • A track record of hiring, growing, and retaining excellent engineers, and of building team cultures where people do their best work.
  • The judgment to delegate decision making and expertise to the team, and the instincts to know when to step in to move a decision along.
  • Comfort owning prioritization without a dedicated Product Manager partner—able to say no to protect the team’s focus, but pragmatic enough to know when to drop things to get high-priority work done.
  • Experience leading on-call rotations, incident response, and the operational maturity that comes with running a high-availability service.
  • Enough experience with fast-growing, well-structured engineering organizations to bring strong ideas in, without following any of them as dogma.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to work in a fully distributed, remote-first team. We love to write long-form documents for us, our future selves, and our AI companions.
