The Engineering Manager owns people and delivery across all of Tech: Builders, Integrations, and DevOps, and runs the monthly allocation across three priority queues: the core platform and Pangea, the agent suite (set by Product), and the connector catalog (set by Integrations). Priorities come from those queues, not from this role’s own judgment call.
This role never touches individual clients: Tech builds and operates the platform; Sales, FDE & Research, and Customer Success own the client relationship. The Engineering Manager is one of three complements in Tech: this role owns who and when (people, delivery, allocation), while the Staff Engineer owns that it scales and the AI Staff Engineer owns where AI goes next: neither of whom carries direct reports.
What you’ll do
- Run monthly allocation of the Builder pool across the three priority queues: platform, agents, and connector catalog: based on where Nauta needs capacity most
- Own delivery and process standards across Builders, Integrations, and DevOps
- Manage the Head of DevOps and, through that reporting line, SecOps and DevOps operations
- Own people management for the engineers who write shipping code: hiring, growth, and performance, while keeping the pool a single team, not fixed backend/frontend fiefdoms
- Partner with the Staff Engineer on architecture decisions that affect delivery timelines, without owning the architecture call yourself
- Partner with the AI Staff Engineer on resourcing AI initiatives, without owning the technology direction yourself
- Escalate to the Head of Engineering when queue conflicts can’t resolve mechanically: for example, competing priorities between the agents queue and the platform queue
Who you are
- Proven experience as an Engineering Manager owning delivery across multiple disciplines (backend, frontend, DevOps, or similar)
- Comfortable managing a flexible resourcing model: reallocating people monthly based on shifting priorities, not fixed team ownership
- Strong people management: hiring, coaching, and performance, at the individual-contributor level
- Process-minded: can run allocation, standups, and delivery cadence without becoming bureaucratic
- Comfortable partnering with technical authorities (staff engineers) who don’t report to you but whose judgment shapes your queue
- Spanish and English required
Nice to have
- Experience managing engineering in a company that runs a flexible/pooled resourcing model rather than fixed teams
- Background in AI-native or agent-based products
- Experience with connector/integration-heavy platforms
