Engineering Manager (Diagrid Cloud)

Who We Are

We believe that open-source software, open standards and APIs are the greatest transformational tools for organizations in the modern software development era.

Our mission at Diagrid is to provide developers with APIs and tools that help them focus on their code and not on infrastructure. As online digital services need to handle more load and run on multiple clouds or on-premises environments, programming to higher level abstractions delivers consistent, secure and reliable code that is easily portable and helps organizations de-risk their projects.

Diagrid is founded by the creators of the Dapr and KEDA open-source projects, and who led the user experience, design and development of hyper-scale infrastructure cloud services, serverless platforms and open-source projects at Microsoft.

We are backed by top VC firms and supported with industry leading investors and advisors including Joe Beda (Kubernetes Co-Founder, former Co-Founder / CTO at Heptio) Matt Klein (Creator of Envoy, Lyft), Mark Russinovich (CTO, Microsoft Azure), William Morgan (Creator of Linkerd, CEO Buoyant), Seth Vargo (Senior Staff Engineer, Google), Kris Nova (Kubernetes and distributed systems engineer), Adam Gross (Former CEO, Heroku), Sri Viswanath (Former CTO, Atlassian), Adam Frankl (Dev Marketing Expert, Neo4J & JFrog), and Roopak Venkatakrishnan (Head of platforms, Bolt).

As an engineering manager in Diagrid Cloud you will work directly with executive management and product leaders to set priorities and drive technical alignment across the company. You will build a high performing team of engineers that drives the infrastructure and core services for our commercial cloud products.

Our commercial products include Diagrid Conductor, a fully managed Dapr on Kubernetes Service that streamlines the day 2 operations of Dapr on Kubernetes, and Diagrid Cloud Runtime APIs - a fleet of on-demand, serverless sidecars that bring Dapr's APIs to developers using any compute platform, be it in the cloud, on the edge or even directly from the browser.
