Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we'reexpanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond. \nAbout The Role\nWe are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Product Platform team, a group of six backend and DevOps engineers who own the foundations of the IP Fabric product: how it is structured, built, tested, deployed, licensed, and run.\nThe team is in the middle of meaningful modernisation work. That includes decomposing a monolithic application into clearer boundaries, evolving deployment from a Debian package model toward containers, reworking build and test pipelines, and improving the stability and performance of core services that every other engineering team depends on.\nYou will lead and grow that team, stay technically close to the work, and partner with Product to build a roadmap that connects platform engineering to business outcomes. A significant part of this role is making sure the wider organisation understands the value the team delivers. Your success is measured by team effectiveness, delivery, and the organisation's trust in the platform team, not by your personal code output.\nWhat You’ll Do \nLead, coach, and support a team of senior backend and DevOps engineers\nBuild a business-driven platform roadmap in partnership with Product, and communicate it clearly to engineering leadership and stakeholders\nMake the team's work legible: connect platform initiatives to delivery speed, stability, security, and customer impact\nEstablish a clear intake model for requests from feature teams, Product, QA, and Support, and hold sensible ownership boundaries\nGuide technical decision-making and architectural direction, including deployment modernisation and application decomposition\nCreate a healthy, predictable delivery environment that accounts for both planned initiatives and interrupt-driven work\nRepresent platform constraints and dependencies to the teams that build on top of the platform\nHire, onboard, and grow engineers over time\nWhat You'll Need\nExperience leading software engineers in a product company\nStrong background in backend, platform, or infrastructure engineering\nDemonstrated ability to define technical direction and justify it to non-engineering stakeholders\nComfortable with architecture, deployment, and performance discussions at a level that earns the respect of senior engineers\nAbility to balance technical depth with people leadership\nClear, pragmatic communication style in English, written and spoken\nBonus points if you have \nExperience leading a platform, developer experience, or enablement team\nFamiliarity with Node.js / TypeScript and Python\nExperience with PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, containers and Kubernetes, and CI/CD systems\nExperience with on-prem as well as cloud delivery models\nExperience with application modernisation or monolith decomposition\nExperience working closely with Product Managers on internal or platform products\nBenefits &Perks\n25 days of holidays + 5 flexi-days.\nPluxee Flexi Card (up to 16 000 CZK per year).\nAnniversary rewards.\nCollaboration with diverse, international teams. \nA pet-friendly office at IP Pavlova. \nComplementary and yummy snacks, coffee, brew and refreshments. \nRegular team and company events.\nJoin us to experience the unique culture of a founder-led startup, where from top to bottom everyone is hands-on and has a chance to make a tangible impact on influential enterprises worldwide. Being part of IP Fabric means being part of a flexible environment that prioritizes work-life balance and growth opportunities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3806,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Company events","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Network Security","Observability & APM"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T15:46:14Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-08T05:49:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ip-fabric-engineering-manager-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ip-fabric-engineering-manager-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-09T03:30:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2252,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2748,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679448},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679448"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fip-fabric-engineering-manager-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fip-fabric-engineering-manager-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fip-fabric-engineering-manager-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ip-fabric-engineering-manager-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fip-fabric-engineering-manager-platform"}]}
