Engineering Manager - Console User Experience

TLDR

Lead and grow a team of engineers at Lambda's AI cloud, driving architectural decisions and enhancing user experience through strategic development of the customer-facing cloud console.

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.

If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.

*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco/San Jose office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

Lambda is building the cloud for AI. Tens of thousands of researchers, startups, and enterprises rely on Lambda to provision GPUs, train models, and run production AI workloads.

The Console is the front door to Lambda’s cloud. It is where customers provision clusters, manage GPUs, configure networking, control identity, and monitor usage and billing. As Lambda expands into enterprise and dedicated region offerings, the Console becomes increasingly strategic.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Console Experience team.

You

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience

  • Built or led customer-facing web applications, ideally in SaaS, cloud, or infrastructure environments

  • Comfortable reviewing and reasoning about frontend and backend code (React, TypeScript, APIs, etc.)

  • Can drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces

  • Care about user experience, even when building infrastructure-heavy systems

  • Comfortable navigating cross-team dependencies in a fast-moving environment
