About the Role

Bark is looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Cloud Platform Engineering team. The team is responsible for owning and operating Bark’s cloud infrastructure, and developing our internal developer platform. Over the past year we have invested significantly in renewing our cloud infrastructure and creating an internal standardised developer platform. We operate a modern IaC driven AWS based cloud infrastructure built on top of EKS.

Your role is to manage a group of cloud infrastructure and DevOps engineers in operating and extending our cloud capabilities. We have an ambitious vision on how we want to continue driving towards world class cloud infrastructure and developer experience. We expect you to be an experienced leader who has a great grasp of best practices in building and operating a modern cloud infrastructure, is an experienced people manager and has excellent skills in running the day-to-day operations of a team.

You will collaborate closely with the rest of the engineering leadership team, including our Principal Engineer and Architecture squad, in building our technical capabilities. You will be part of the technical leadership team and report directly to the CTO.
