About us
Some people accept the internet as it is. We see what it could be.
At bunny.net, we don’t wait for change. We make it happen. You won’t find layers of red tape or play-it-safe thinking here. You’ll find people who move quickly, take ownership, and push ideas all the way to the edge. Literally.
You’ll build things that solve actual problems, not add to them.
We’re not perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. But we’re always improving. We’re looking for people who want to do the same, who take pride in their work, and aren’t afraid to challenge what’s possible.
Because everyone deserves a better internet. And we’re here to help it hop faster.
Senior Engineering Manager
When bunny.net was just an idea, a handful of engineers set out to build a faster internet. Today, that idea powers billions of requests, across hundreds of cities, every single day.
But with scale comes complexity, and with complexity, the need for great leadership.
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to guide multiple teams through this next chapter. Someone who sees engineering not just as code, but as collaboration. Someone who can help teams stay focused when things move fast, support people when challenges feel big, and bring structure without adding friction.
You won’t be handed a manual. We’re still writing it. But you’ll have strong partners across product and leadership, a culture of trust and ownership, and a team that truly wants to do great work.
This role isn’t about big titles or big egos. It’s about making space for others to succeed, setting direction when the path is unclear, and building an engineering organization that gets stronger with every release.
Because to us, great engineering leadership is as much about people as it is about systems, and if you’re excited by the chance to help build a better internet, we’d love to hear your story.
What will you do?
- Set direction: Define and drive the long-term engineering strategy alongside leadership
- Lead leaders: Mentor engineering leads and support their growth and performance
- Scale engineering ops: Shape team structures, workflows, and processes for sustainable growth
- Ship with impact: Ensure high quality, speed, and reliability in everything we release
- Foster innovation: Champion new tools, tech, and ideas that move us forward

- Champion data-driven culture: Embed analytics and metrics into engineering practices to guide decisions, track success, and drive continuous improvement
What will you bring?
- A track record of leadership success: Experience scaling engineering orgs and developing managers
- Technical depth: Deep expertise across multiple technical domains, ideally with hands-on experience in building and scaling high-performance systems.
- Mentorship & leadership skills: Proven success coaching senior engineers and managers to lead effectively and scale team performance
- Visionary mindset: You are a big-picture thinker who delivers results
- Operational excellence: You bring experience scaling systems with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and security

- A customer-first mindset: You always consider the user impact of engineering decisions
- Clear communication: Ability to connect with both technical and non-technical audiences
- Startup mentality: Bias for action, ownership, and comfort with ambiguity
What will make us extra happy?
- Experience in large-scale systems: You’ve built and scaled distributed systems before, ideally in edge computing, CDN, or performance-critical environments
- Startup experience: You move fast, stay scrappy, and thrive without a playbook
- Agile mindset: You know how to keep teams shipping, iterating, and improving in complex settings
- Creative problem-solving: You don’t just put out fires, you get to the root and fix it for good
- Passion for DevEx: You care about the developer experience and have improved tooling, workflows, or platforms to make engineers move faster and build better
