    Default job background
    Description
    Fastly helps people stay better connected with the things they love.

    Fastly's edge cloud platform enables customers to create great digital experiences quickly, securely, and reliably by processing, serving, and securing our customers' applications as close to their end-users as possible — at the edge of the Internet.

    The platform is designed to take advantage of the modern internet, to be programmable, and to support agile software development.

    We're building a more trustworthy Internet. Director, Engineering - Compute Platform
    Fastly's Compute Platform is the ultimate flexible edge-compute platform. Our unique serverless platform scales workloads globally, without our customers lifting a single finger to manage their edge infrastructure.

    In partnership with the WebAssembly community, we're developing new ecosystem capabilities and expanding first-class programming language and tooling support for Fastly's Compute Platform.

    We are looking for a passionate and innovative Engineering Director to lead the teams responsible for building the substrate for executing arbitrary code, runtimes, ecosystem tooling and a great developer experience.

    You will bring your passion for cultivating engineering best practices to support a distributed team of talented people building developer tooling in different language ecosystems and enable these technical experts to do the best work of their lives.

    You will be responsible for people management, setting technical direction, and partnering with product and executive leadership to drive major technical and product initiatives in harmony with Fastly's strategic vision.

    You will have significant strategic impact and influence the direction of the company, as well as direct responsibility for new products within the Compute Platform.

    People Management

    Lead teams responsible for the infrastructure, programmatic experience & tooling - Provide guidance and management of people managers and individual contributors, ensuring each member of the team has what they need to be successful.

    Cultivate a positive and productive engineering culture - attracting and retaining exceptional engineering talent and nourishing their professional growth within the team
    Support teams during times of rapid growth and organizational maturation by utilizing change management techniques and ensuring technical and operational alignment among teams and team members
    Set the right balance between urgency and quality by implementing clear repeatable engineering processes & best practices
    Craft and execute the Compute Platform engineering strategy, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the company's broader business goals and long-term vision

    Outline functional requirements from key partners internally and externally, prioritize platform health, easy to use features, and establish critical development milestones.

    Contextualize and help prioritize work for the team while creating outlets for team innovation and engineering influence
    Align the Compute Platform's quarterly planning, staffing, and project schedules with constituents across the organization to minimize conflict and ensure consistent, timely, and high quality delivery
    Champion scalability, resilience, and performance optimization and maintaining a strong connection with how efficiently we execute workloads on our infrastructure
    Partnership
    Develop a strong, egoless partnership with senior engineering leaders, product leaders, the Office of the CTO, and external organizations such as the Bytecode Alliance

    Clearly and frequently communicate upward and outward to set expectations for roadmaps and deliverables to ensure broad technical alignment between engineering and other stakeholders across the business.

    Know how and when to shift resources across areas to achieve execution goals and respond to lessons from production issues - Focus on business practicality and the 80/20 rule; very high bar for output quality, but recognize the business benefit of "having something now" vs "perfection sometime in the future"
    Navigate cross-team expectations and provide clear succinct communication to other senior leaders across the organization
    5+ years experience managing distributed engineering teams that build and operate software at scale. Experience leading teams that build efficient platform software on bare metal is a big plus
    ~ Demonstrable success in growing and nurturing a strong engineering culture & implementing engineering best practices - with a humble, respectful and compassionate leadership style
    ~~10+ years previous hands-on engineering experience building complex, large-scale, reliable, highly distributed systems with a focus on efficiency and performance optimization. While you won't be defining architecture or writing code, you need to be able to understand technical nuance in design docs and other planning discussions to ensure technical consistency, scope and quality across the teams
    ~ Comfort working with the technologies we use (Rust, JavaScript, Go, WebAssembly, compiler technology, network protocols and caching concepts)
    ~ Significant experience setting technical direction and building strategic roadmaps -demonstrating exceptional translation skills and partnership with product
    ~ Excellent collaboration and communication abilities with a variety of technical and non-technical stakeholders - must demonstrate expertise presenting, soliciting, feedback, and discussing complex technical concepts - including programing language ergonomics, runtimes, runtime performance, compilers etc
    ~ Demonstrate a flexible mindset, appreciating the benefit of constant iteration and improvement while keeping a pragmatic approach and empathy for users
