Senior Engineering Manager - Capacity Planning Tools

The Capacity Planning Tools Team builds a suite of custom internal tools that offers insight into our network and data center operations. As we operate our own hardware in colocation facilities, there are many components to track, from hardware orders to utilization metrics. Better insights into the operations of these projects contribute in a very direct way to Fastly’s financial health, as well as the ability for team members to make strategic decisions for our growth. 

We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to support the team that delivers analytical and tracking tools for managing the expansion of Fastly's global network. The central portal that this team builds is used by technical and non-technical teams alike, from Network Engineering and Datacenter Infrastructure, to Sales and Finance. You and your team have a unique and cross-functional role in the company -- and the tools you're developing clearly show the impact of your work.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage a distributed engineering team and provide guidance on application design decisions.
  • Provide regular feedback to engineers to ensure their professional growth.
  • Prioritize features, new projects, and research activities into regular releases. Keep the team apprised of the timelines for delivery, and coordinate the process of turning user requirements into coherent designs.
  • Build out engineering practices for code reviews, design reviews, and testing, as well as processes to keep systems compliant with data governance guidelines.
  • Promote engagement with Infrastructure teams before and after features are deployed by running demos, user feedback sessions, and blameless post-mortems after projects are completed.
  • Recruit and hire software engineers.

What We’re Looking For

  • Pragmatic, detail-oriented, and empathetic individuals who are genuinely delighted to work with hardworking small teams and get a chance to know the end-users of the products personally.
  • Significant experience and preference for working with remote-first teams.
  • A high level of organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize, lead, communicate clearly, and deliver to the needs of the larger Network and Datacenter Infrastructure team.
  • Engineering management experience working on web-application projects with significant data processing components.
  • Most of our internal capacity planning tools center around a UI built with React.js, backed by RESTful APIs and applications written in Python, Javascript, or Go. Proficiency is encouraged in order to support the team.
  • Data intensive application exposure is expected to facilitate building tools to report on a large and rapidly expanding global edge network.

Why Fastly?

  • We have a huge impact. Fastly is a small company with a big reach. Not only do our customers have a tremendous user base, but we also support a growing number of open source projects and initiatives. Outside of code, employees are encouraged to share causes close to their heart with others so we can help lend a supportive hand.
  • We love distributed teams. Fastly’s home-base is in San Francisco, but we have multiple offices and employees sprinkled around the globe. In fact, 50% of our employees work outside of SF! An international remote culture is in our DNA.
  • We care about you. Fastly works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too. We support our teams with great benefits like up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave, options for free medical/dental/vision plans, and an open vacation program that enables our folks to take the time they need to recharge (some benefits may vary by location).
  • We value diversity. Growing and maintaining our inclusive and diverse team matters to us. We are committed to being a company where our employees feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work and have the ability to be successful -- every day.
  • We are passionate. Fastly is chock full of passionate people and we’re not ‘one size fits all’. Fastly employs authors, pilots, skiers, parents (of humans and animals), makeup geeks, coffee connoisseurs, and more. We love employees for who they are and what they are passionate about.

We’re always looking for humble, sharp, and creative folks to join the Fastly team. If you think you might be a fit, please apply!
