The Engineering Manager will lead, mentor, and manage a team of Infrastructure, DevOps, and Security Engineers, driving high-quality deliverables and hiring top talent.
Machine intelligence will soon take over humanity’s role in knowledge-keeping and creation. What started in the mid-1990s as the gradual off-loading of knowledge and decision making to search engines will be rapidly replaced by vast neural networks - with all knowledge compressed into their artificial neurons. Unlike organic life, machine intelligence, built within silicon, needs protocols to coordinate and grow. And, like nature, these protocols should be open, permissionless, and neutral. Starting with compute hardware, the Gensyn protocol networks together the core resources required for machine intelligence to flourish alongside human intelligence.
- Hire, coordinate and drive a high performing team of Infrastructure, DevOps, and Security Engineers
- Mentor, incentivize, and manage engineers to deliver highly complex and uncertain deliverables against tight deadlines
- Lead and unblock members of your team whilst working closely with the CTO and Technical Leads to scope and report on engineering deliverables and timelines.
- Hire and retain world class talent
Must Have
- A track record of leading teams in scale/start-ups that went from ‘0 to 1’ and released their first products (as opposed to only maintaining existing products)
- Exceptional leadership, communication, and drive - particularly when under pressure
- Experience attracting and hiring world-class engineers
- Hands on engineering experience in (at least) 1 of the following 3 domains:
- Infrastructure/Platform Engineering
- Security Engineering
- SRE/DevOps
Preferred
- Experience scaling distributed systems or high-load infrastructure
- Strong security engineering background (threat modeling, reviews, audits)
- Deep hands-on DevOps expertise (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD)
Nice to Have
- Experience with distributed ML systems or GPU-heavy environments
- Experience working cross-functionally with research teams
- Founding experience
- Open source contributions
- Meaningful exposure to cryptocurrencies
Compensation / Benefits
- Competitive salary + share of equity and token pool
- Fully remote work - we currently hire between the West Coast (PT) and Central Europe (CET) time zones
- Visa sponsorship - available for those who would like to relocate to the US after being hired
- 3-4x all expenses paid company retreats around the world, per year
- Whatever equipment you need
- Paid sick leave and flexible vacation
- Company-sponsored health, vision, and dental insurance - including spouse/dependents [🇺🇸 only]
Autonomy & Independence
- Don’t ask for permission - we have a constraint culture, not a permission culture.
- Claim ownership of any work stream and set its goals/deadlines, rather than waiting to be assigned work or relying on job specs.
- Push & pull context on your work rather than waiting for information from others and assuming people know what you’re doing.
- Communicate to be understood rather than pushing out information and expecting others to work to understand it.
- Stay a small team - misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size. Small protocol teams rival much larger traditional teams.
Rejection of mediocrity & high performance
- Give direct feedback to everyone immediately - rather than avoiding unpopularity, expecting things to improve naturally, or trading short-term pain for extreme long-term pain.
- Embrace an extreme learning rate - rather than assuming limits to your ability / knowledge.
- Don’t quit - push to the final outcome, despite any barriers.
- Be anti-fragile - balance short-term risk for long-term outcomes.
- Reject waste - guard the company’s time, rather than wasting it in meetings without clear purpose/focus, or bikeshedding.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
