Senior Engineering Manager (Factory Core)

Join Hadrian, a cutting-edge aerospace company, as a Senior Engineering Manager for our Factory Core team. In this role, you will lead engineering for one or more business domains, build and manage a strong team, and partner with various stakeholders to shape the roadmap and drive product outcomes. You will also have the opportunity to continuously improve the developer lifecycle and make a significant impact on the company's growth and success.

• Lead engineering for one or more business domains, building a team that ships product and owns its systems in production.
• Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
• You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles
• Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team
• 2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that
• Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen
• Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers
• A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility
• Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed
• Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work
• A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better
• Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions
