Engineering Manager, Software (AI Cloud)

About the role

Firmus Technologies is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Firmus AI Cloud, a customer-facing software platform that lets builders run GPU compute quickly and reliably. You are accountable for both the people and the delivery: the engineers you grow and the software they ship, including the public APIs, control plane, web console, SDKs, CLI and Terraform provider. The role is a build-and-grow leadership position based in Singapore, reporting to the Senior Manager, Platform Engineering.

Key responsibilities

• Lead squads as the single-threaded owner of engineers and tech leads, hiring, coaching and managing performance
• Own end-to-end delivery: turn the roadmap into predictable delivery, manage cross-squad dependencies and delivery health
• Set the engineering quality bar, including build/buy/open-source decisions, API and control-plane design, and SLAs
• Champion AI-assisted development while keeping design, review and security standards high
• Own reliability and security in production: L3 incident resolution, SLA breaches, post-mortems, SLOs, on-call and change management
• Extend SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 controls as the product scales, govern AI-generated code and agentic workloads reaching production, and own cost efficiency
• Represent the team to engineering leadership and the CTO, lead customer technical briefings and align with product, architecture, delivery and operations

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related technical field
• 4+ years managing engineers, with a team of at least 8, and a track record of building self-improving teams
• 10+ years in software engineering, including a senior or staff engineer background
• Experience with AI-assisted development and agentic AI
• Willingness to take part in the incident-response on-call rotation and to travel overseas occasionally

Required skills

• Modern backend stack: Go or Python, Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD
• Customer-facing APIs and control-plane services, including OpenAPI or gRPC, SDKs, CLI and IaC providers
• Multi-tenant, secure-by-default software: identity and authorization, tenancy isolation, API gateways, rate limiting, billing or metering
• Web applications (React or similar) and deep code review
• SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, and stakeholder management with product and senior leadership
