Engineering Manager, Platform
Foundry Our platform team engages across the entire portfolio with the aim to support our product teams in their work by maintaining and advancing common libraries (including software lic... ensing, renderers, and build systems), and common tooling and services (DevOps).

To be successful you'll require a strong technical background in development and testing, good knowledge of the full software development lifecycle and Agile practices and a passion for building a high performing team.
