Manager, Software Engineering (R5966)

Hivemind is looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Shared Services Engineering team. 

The Shared Services team is a product-oriented, full-stack engineering team that builds and operates common services, SDKs, APIs, and customer-facing applications connecting Shield’s products. These capabilities reduce duplicated engineering and help create a consistent Shield experience across product types. 

You will lead the team as it identifies shared needs, establishes ownership, and delivers reliable, secure, and well-supported solutions. You will treat the team’s capabilities as products, maintaining a roadmap informed by external customers and internal engineering teams. 

This is a technical, hands-on management role. You will guide architecture and delivery, remain engaged in complex engineering decisions, and build a team that owns its systems from design through production operation. 

7+ years of software engineering experience, including experience managing engineers responsible for production software 

Demonstrated technical judgment in the design and operation of full-stack applications, backend services, APIs, or distributed systems 

Strategic systems thinking and the ability to turn recurring needs across products into coherent, reusable capabilities 

Track record of setting technical direction, making thoughtful tradeoffs, and executing across immediate and long-term priorities 

Effective cross-functional leadership, with the ability to build alignment and trusted partnerships across engineering, product, and organizational stakeholders 

Track record of leading teams that build shared services and customer-facing applications from scratch and own them through production operation 

Depth in one or more relevant domains, such as identity and authentication, public APIs and SDKs, or OpenTelemetry and high-volume telemetry data 

Experience establishing a new engineering capability, consolidating fragmented ownership, or driving adoption across multiple product teams 

Experience building and operating secure, reliable software in regulated or compliance-driven environments
