Join Whatnot, the largest live shopping platform in North America and Europe. As an Engineering Manager for Backend Platforms, you will lead and grow a team of senior software engineers, shape the team's strategy and execution, and drive improvements in platform reliability and performance. You should have 10+ years of industry experience in platform or infrastructure engineering, with 7+ years managing engineering teams.

- Own team strategy and execution. Empower senior ICs to define technical direction and architecture, while staying technically engaged enough to challenge decisions, unblock tradeoffs, and step in when course-correction is needed.
- Shape the Backend Platforms roadmap, balancing investment across new capabilities, developer productivity, and platform-level tech debt.
