More About the Role
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to help lead our Database Engineering Organization, which focuses on building our technologies. These systems handle hundreds of thousands of requests per second, with strict stability requirements. You and your team will have responsibility for the integrity, resiliency and security of these systems. The system is comprised of over one thousand Cassandra nodes, extremely high throughput Elasticsearch clusters, a Kafka backbone, and distributed caching clusters, all across multiple Amazon regions. This team works day in and day out on some of the most complex distributed systems problems and is the engineering organization's bedrock.
The Impact You Will Make

• Build internal tools and automation software to make maintaining technologies easier and safer.
• Build self-service tooling for the wider engineering organization to adopt to reduce operational toil and improve end-to-end ownership.
• Implement and improve upon our technologies' metric and observability telemetry and visualizations to help software teams to operate efficiently .
• Work across engineering to design scalable and performant data models.
• Drive reliability and observability improvements. Using service level objectives and other telemetry data, you'll help the engineering organization to make informed decisions on where reliability challenges may exist and help develop solutions to improve them.

What You Bring to the Table

• You promote value diversity, equity and inclusion.
• Experience leading projects. You should understand how to take a multi-month project, break it down into manageable chunks, and complete without guidance.
• You know what you're doing. You have experience as a Manager-level Site Reliability Engineer working on extremely high throughput systems. You should understand how to scale a distributed system, failure modes, monitoring , etc . You have the battle-scars and have learnt and applied the important lessons.
• You can go hands-on and dive deep with your team when needed. You build and promote great teams by creating mechanisms that allow scale and predictability.
• You invent your way around existing constraints. You don't settle for status-quo or good enough.
• You're experienced with distributed, scalable microservice-based architectures.
• You have a working knowledge of Cloud providers and their services (especially AWS).
• You're experienced writing code that automates complex operations. We want someone who can write OO, testable code, not just scripts. (We use Python, but experience in any similar language or a JVM-based language is acceptable.)
• You've designed and managed non-relational, partitioned datastores (especially Cassandra) in a zero-downtime environment. You have an understanding of denormalized data modeling, CAP theorem, and tunable consistency levels.
• You're well-acquainted with Linux and its inner workings.
• You've got a solid grasp of performance monitoring methodologies and tools.

And Of Course, Perks!

• Flexible PTO . Grubhub employees enjoy a generous amount of time to recharge.
• Health and Wellness. Excellent medical, dental and vision benefits, 401k matching, employee network groups and paid parental leave are just a few of our programs to support your overall well-being.
• Compensation. You'll receive a great compensation package with eligibility for generous incentives, bonuses, commission, or RSUs (role-specific).
• Free Meals . Our employees get a weekly Grubhub credit to enjoy and support local restaurants.
• Social Impact. We believe in giving back through programs like the Grubhub Community Relief Fund, and provide our employees opportunities to support causes that are important to them.
