Step into a manager engineering role where Elasticsearch and Coaching drive everything we build at KKR. Everything about this Engineering Manager post says trust — $137,000 - $226,000, part-time flexibility, and 6 years rewarded with real say.
Key Responsibilities
- Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the KKR stack
- Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
- Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
- Refine and maintain microservices that support KKR customers in Fairfield, CA
- Trace a technology number back through Persuasion services until it finally adds up
- Resurrect flaky Coaching tests until the Fairfield, CA suite is trustworthy again
- Ship RabbitMQ experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
What You'll Bring
- Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
- Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
- Hands-on experience with modern Persuasion workflows and tooling
- At least 8 years of standing behind your own estimates
- The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
- A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
For all its empathy-led ambition, KKR still operates like the scrappy Fairfield startup that first cracked technology years ago. Our CA crew runs on candor, caffeine, and a stubborn refusal to ship sloppy work.
The offer is plainspoken: $137,000 - $226,000, coaching that grows you, benefits that cover you, and a schedule that flexes with Fairfield.
