Engineering Manager

Job Description

Are you a hands‑on people‑focused engineering leader who enjoys leading teams to solve complex problems? Would leading the development of impactful digital experiences used by millions of users excite you? Join our User Interface Engineering Team. Our Cloud Technology Group is comprised of dedicated professionals shaping Akamai's aspirations to create an industry‑leading user experience. We take ownership for the design and development for core interfaces and services.

We create a user experience that allows customers ease of use and helps our internal stakeholders to excel their development through using our design system.

You will join a global team that collaborates across time zones and lead a team of engineers responsible for delivering high‑quality, enterprise web experiences. You will balance technical oversight with people management, coaching engineers, clarifying requirements, driving execution, and ensuring alignment with product and design partners. While you will bring front‑end expertise, your role will focus on leadership, mentorship, and technical direction over hands‑on development.

• Managing, mentoring, and developing a team of front‑end engineers proficient in enterprise user interfaces written in Angular, React, and Lit
• Providing technical guidance and setting best practices for front‑end architecture and UI development
• Partnering with product management, UX/Designers, and other engineering teams to deliver cohesive user experiences
• Having oversight of delivery across the full project lifecycle: organizing, planning, development, testing, and release
• Driving consistency through shared components (Design System experience is a plus), tooling, and engineering standards
• Supporting hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, and career growth for team members

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have 8 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field
• Demonstrate solid knowledge of front‑end technologies including HTML, CSS, Type Script and Java Script
• Have experience with Angular or React
• Possess a clear understanding of Software Development Life Cycle and Source Code Management Systems (we use git)
• Be familiar with software testing concepts including unit, functional, regression continuous integration, and performance testing
• Have prior leadership experience and excellent communication skills and a passion for building inclusive, high‑performing engineering teams
