Department About Us
Permutive's mission is to rebuild data in advertising to protect privacy. The open internet needs a sustainable foundation that funds the free & open online experiences we all rely on.

We build the foundational infrastructure for Permutive's platform and products which operate at huge scale, with hundreds of thousands of RPS across billions of monthly end-users.
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of DevOps and InfoSec engineers to own the end-to-end design, implementation, and operation of the infrastructure that underpins Permutive's real-time, high-throughput/low-latency APIs and services.
We're looking for an Engineering Manager with strong technical expertise who stays closely involved in the work-this isn't a hands-off management role, and we welcome candidates who are newer to people management.

Collaborating with our engineering leadership to define and execute initiatives for Permutive's core infrastructure and security posture.
Driving technical decisions, architectural improvements, cost efficiencies, and vendor management for a large-scale, distributed cloud platform.
Partnering with Engineering and Product teams across Permutive to identify and implement infrastructure tooling that promotes reliability, velocity, and autonomy.
Overseeing the management of our security processes, including audits and compliance efforts such as SOC 2.
You'll sit within our engineering leadership group.
What you'll need?
5+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, security, SRE, or platform engineering roles
2+ years in a people leadership role managing engineers
Strong track record building, scaling, and operating complex distributed systems in cloud environments
Strong communication, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, preferably GCP
Experience with containerization & orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.), messaging systems (e.g. Kafka), and databases (from Postgres to Bigtable & Redis)
Proficient in infrastructure languages (e.g. Go, Python) and familiarity with the JVM for our application stack
Solid experience building CI/CD pipelines and automating deployment workflows
Proficiency in monitoring, logging, tracing tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
Experience with incident management, postmortems, capacity planning, and resilience engineering
What we're offering
We take a structured, objective approach to salary-setting, which is based on market information, our compensation strategy, and your experience and capability as assessed through our interview process. For a typical candidate who meets our requirements, we would pay between £115,000 - £135,000 + options.
In this together: As a full-time employee, you'll become a shareholder with stock options, sharing in our collective success.
Family Comes First: Primary caregivers receive up to 6 months of fully paid leave and secondary caregivers receive 3 months of fully paid leave to bond with their little ones.
Your Time, Your Way: Flexible hours let you fit work around your life, whether it's hitting the gym, meditating, or handling family needs.
Upgraded Workspace: A £350 budget helps you create the perfect home office setup.
Recharge & Refocus: Unlimited paid time off (with a minimum of 25 days + public holidays) ensures you get the rest you need.
Grow with Us: Ongoing training and development opportunities fuel your career aspirations.
