About the Role
Superhuman is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead their Developer Experience/Release Engineering team in Berlin.

Responsibilities
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Engineers, fostering a strong, inclusive team culture.
- Own the strategy and roadmap for CI/CD, build, and release systems.
- Drive faster, safer delivery by improving lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and time to restore.
- Build and operate release tooling, including progressive rollouts, canaries, feature flags, automated rollback, and release health monitoring.
- Coordinate release trains and launches across all products.
- Partner with SRE, Infrastructure, and Security to ensure the reliability and compliance of the delivery platform.
- Reduce friction for product engineers by optimizing build and test times and offering self-service paths.
- Act as an escalation point and Incident Commander for release-related incidents.

- Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Kubernetes or another container orchestration system.
- Experience shipping and operating release systems at scale using progressive delivery, feature flags, canary releases, and safe rollback.
- Understanding of release practices across multiple surfaces (web, desktop, mobile, browser extensions, or backend services).
- Knowledge of infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform) and observability tooling.
- Experience using delivery metrics (DORA) to guide decisions.
- Experience as an Incident Commander and running blameless postmortems.
- Knowledge of software supply chain security basics (dependency management, artifact signing, secrets handling).
- Experience managing people in a distributed or remote setting.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with Product, SRE, Security, QA, and Support.
- Ability to operate well in ambiguity, set a high engineering bar, and empower senior engineers.
