Engineering Lead
OddballFull Time
Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates must have a strong track record of developing and nurturing engineering teams, coupled with hands-on technical abilities to contribute to the engineering roadmap. A high level of organization and the ability to manage multiple complex concurrent projects from concept through delivery and production support is essential. Familiarity with enterprise software and software as a service, including understanding the impact on product development, validation, release, and operation, is required. A strong background in partnering with recruiting, making hiring decisions, closing hires, and building diverse and inclusive teams is also necessary. Empathy and an understanding of how to support engineers to do their best work are crucial.
The Engineering Manager will be responsible for supporting the engineering team that owns the underlying distributed timeseries database powering Chronosphere’s metrics platform. This includes supporting and developing a team of 7+ engineers through feedback and coaching, setting context and expectations, and eliminating barriers to execution. The manager will own the engineering roadmap for a platform area, manage projects to that roadmap, and set priorities in partnership with the product team and technical contributors. They will drive day-to-day execution against priorities, partner with other engineering leaders to drive process changes, and be responsible for hiring for their team. Additionally, the manager will own the reliability of their product area in production, ensuring the team has the focus, tools, and process needed to reliably ship and manage systems.
Cloud-native infrastructure and application monitoring

The platform filters out unnecessary data, allowing users to focus on critical information, which is especially useful for companies still using outdated monitoring tools. Unlike its competitors, Chronosphere emphasizes reducing observability costs, which can be a major expense for engineering teams, and helps decrease on-call alerts by up to 90%. The company's goal is to improve business efficiency and productivity while providing a strong return on investment.
