The Mission

At Frontiers, we are rewriting the rules of scientific publishing. Behind every product team sit theshared technical services the whole publishing platform depends on.



Today these are Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Messaging (transactional email and GDPR-compliant consent) — examples of this kind of shared service, with more likely over time — owned by our Platform Shared Services team. We are looking for a Platform Engineering Manager to lead the team that builds and runs them.

You will own team delivery, technical direction (in partnership with your Senior Engineers), and the people development of a team of [5–8] engineers. These are high-blast-radius services consumed org-wide, so you'll balance shipping new capability with reliability, security and backward compatibility— treating the services as products for internal engineering customers. You'll form a delivery triad with the team's Platform Product Manager (who owns the What/Why) and your Senior Engineers (who drive the How).

The Technical Context
