About the role
We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Engineering teams at Ethos. You'll own the systems that power every policy we sell, from the moment a customer enters our funnel through the lifetime of that policy. This is a hands-on leadership role that can operate at both altitude and depth
You will be the outcome owner for the area you lead, accountable for the reliability, correctness,



and velocity of the systems every other team depends on. Platform is where engineering leverage compounds, and you'll join at a point where you can shape the architecture, the strategy, and the culture of the team.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Own the outcomes for your domain end to end — the strategy, the technical direction, and the results.
Hire, grow, and retain solid engineers and leads, and mentor the team through design and architecture reviews.
Partner with Product and Staff Engineers to build the technical roadmap and run quarterly planning.
Own cross-team architectural decisions and the internal standards other teams build on: service decomposition, event schema evolution, inter-service contract stability, and data consistency.
Set the engineering quality bar — system reliability, test coverage, incident response SLAs, and on-call health.
Drive operational excellence: observability, runbook quality, postmortem culture,
