Engineering Manager, Infrastructure (Privy)
About This Role
Engineering at Privy is defined by high urgency (shipping small iterations fast to learn quickly), strong product taste (since customers are developers themselves, engineers often act as the "PM"), and a security mindset built into every design from the start. The team favors boring, proven technology — Node, React, AWS — so engineering effort can focus on pushing the boundaries of Privy's core product, including hardware enclaves, multi-region low-latency APIs, and blockchain abstractions accessible to mainstream developers.
What You'll Be Doing
Own long-term team outcomes and the success of Privy's product and business
Help drive the future vision of Privy's infrastructure alongside infrastructure engineers, working on complex technology like secure enclaves (TEEs) and one-click Bring Your Own Cloud deployments, with performance and high scale as defaults
Hold the team accountable for quality, throughput, and performance
Lead infrastructure work across the company — from service definition to reliability engineering to developer tooling
Ensure the team works on the right scope of projects, align decisions with business impact, and build interfaces with other parts of the organization
Act as a player-coach by reviewing PRs, writing and reviewing design docs, and investigating incidents, staying close to the technical work
Coach engineers toward growth and their career goals
Build a supportive, fun, motivating team culture
What We're Looking For
Deep ownership and a high-level perspective on driving overall business impact
A performance-oriented mindset with a high bar for quality and excellence
Technical excellence sufficient to independently evaluate quality and give technical feedback
High emotional maturity, insightfulness, and care
Strong past experience as a manager and leader
Bonus Points
Experience designing and operating systems supporting hundreds of millions of users
Experience with secure enclave platforms, such as AWS Nitro Enclaves
Experience with observability, incident response, capacity planning, performance tuning, and infrastructure automation (IaC, CI/CD for infra)
Background building low-latency, high-throughput systems for trading or payment processing
Experience with any blend of public cloud/BYOC architectures
