About The Position

Making the internet hop faster takes great teams, clear direction, and leaders who know when to challenge, when to support, and when to get out of the way. That’s where you come in. You’ll lead three areas shaping how we build and deliver a better internet: Storage: with S3 now part of the platform, new use cases are opening up. You’ll help us capture that opportunity while evolving Storage to be more distributed and resilient at scale. Stream: already a successful and strong revenue-generating product with plenty of room to grow. Stream relies heavily on Storage to store and serve video, so you’ll help both teams make smart decisions across architecture, scale, and growth. Frontend: where our products come together for customers. You’ll help shape what using bunny.net feels like, while building reusable foundations that let teams ship polished experiences faster. You’ll lead through engineering leads, but you won’t lead from the sidelines. You’ll stay close enough to the technology, products, and people to ask the right questions, unblock hard decisions, and help teams do their best work. There’s a lot to own, a lot to improve, and plenty we haven’t imagined yet. If that sounds exciting, we’d love to build it with you.

Requirements

Experience owning one or more products end-to-end, leading product and engineering from customer discovery and strategy through delivery, adoption, and growth
Experience leading multiple teams, while staying close enough to guide priorities and unblock hard decisions
Background in storage, streaming, CDN/edge, or developer platforms (or strong adjacent experience with the curiosity to go deep fast)
Strong technical judgment across distributed systems, architecture, and trade-offs
A knack for connecting engineering decisions to customer value, and thinking beyond shipping to adoption and growth
A developer experience mindset, with examples of improving tooling, platforms, or workflows
The ability to set a clear vision and bring people with you, making complex things simple and going deep when the conversation calls for it
A track record of giving clear feedback, setting high standards, and helping people grow into bigger ownership
Comfort moving without a playbook, getting to the root of problems, and making things happen

Nice To Haves

You’ve taken a product or platform from idea to launch and beyond, and know what it takes to turn something people build into something customers actually use
You’re metrics-aware and pragmatic: you measure what matters, and you don’t confuse dashboards with progress
You bring entrepreneurial energy, spot opportunities others might miss, and aren't afraid to try something new

Responsibilities

Set the direction for Storage, Stream, and Frontend: what we build, why it matters, and what success looks like for the business
Lead and grow the teams across all three areas, with responsibility for both product and engineering, as our products and ambitions grow
Coach and grow engineering leads, and help more people step into bigger ownership
Go deep when it matters, helping teams work through tough architecture decisions and technical trade-offs
Keep the engineering bar high across reliability, scalability, security, and production operations within your teams, and help raise standards across engineering
Build planning and delivery habits that help teams ship fast without burning out or getting lost in the process
Be the go-to engineering voice for your teams, partnering with Growth, Support, senior leadership, and other engineering teams to turn customer needs into clear priorities
Step in on the hardest moments (tradeoffs, incidents, strategy shifts) and bring clarity when things get messy
Know what’s working and what isn’t, using data and customer insights to guide priorities, engineering decisions, and growth
Use AI thoughtfully to help you and your teams move faster and do better work, while keeping judgment and ownership firmly with people
