Senior Engineering Manager
GitHub is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead and grow a distributed engineering team (across Europe, US and Canada) in the GitHub code scanning group. We are passionate about ensuring the security and quality of the world's software - from open source to the enterprise. We believe that the best way to secure and improve the quality of software is to detect actionable issues early in the development process and actively facilitate their remediation as part of the developer workflow.
Our team develops the CodeQL detection engine — GitHub's semantic code analysis technology that powers the GitHub Code Scanning product, used by hundreds of thousands of developers daily as part of GitHub's Advanced Security offering. Leveraging world-class static analysis research, CodeQL deeply analyses code to detect security vulnerabilities and correctness errors early across 10 supported languages, including C/C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Kotlin, Python, Ruby, and Swift. The team is responsible for how CodeQL understands code across these languages: we build and maintain the extractors that produce CodeQL databases and the libraries that model each language's structure and semantics. We maintain consistent feature coverage and support frequent language-version updates to keep CodeQL broadly available.
You'll create the conditions for teams to succeed by establishing effective development and quality practices, supporting thoughtful design and dependency management, and championing proactive approaches to reliability, testing, and operational health. As a senior people leader, you'll coach and develop engineers and managers, model strong collaboration, and foster a culture of learning, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Responsibilities
- Drive and support technical roadmap that aligns with product goals, ensuring that engineering efforts are strategically prioritized and incorporating the adoption of new technologies and methodologies where applicable.
- Facilitate cross-team communications, identify dependencies, and resolve conflicts to ensure seamless integration and support across products, applications, and services.
- Drive employee growth and development, manage performance, and ensure the engineering team's skills remain current by staying abreast of industry developments and best practices.
- Guide teams in designing scalable, secure, and observable systems that meet business and technical requirements.
- Champion experimentation and telemetry-driven development, enabling rapid iteration and data-informed decisions.
- Drive engineering excellence through automation, tooling, and standardization across deployment, testing, and operations.
- Own incident response and reliability practices, ensuring we meet SLOs and postmortems drive systemic improvements.

- Machine learning applied to understanding source code or other structured data, specifically using prompt engineering with large language models (LLMs) and systematic benchmarking and evaluation of AI-based systems.
- Experience working in and leading a distributed team, including operating effectively across multiple time zones (our teams span a wide time zone range from Pacific time to Central European time), recruiting, retaining team members, managing performance, calibrating expectations, providing feedback, and teaching/mentoring others.
- Ability to work with multiple stakeholders and teams across engineering, product, and design, and create a shared understanding of decision making, direction, priorities, and progress between the team, the org, and the broader company.
