Platform Engineering Manager

Oxylabs is an enterprise-grade web data infrastructure, purpose-built for organizations operating at global scale. It helped define what public web data access could look like and still sets the standard others build against.

That same ambition runs through the culture: engineers take ownership of problems no one else has solved and push each other to raise the bar.

Oxylabs' Platform is the backbone that lets the rest of engineering move fast and ship reliably. Our code-first approach values solving problems through programming rather than manual processes, and we're impelmenting AI-powered tooling to further enhance our capabilities. We value effective delegation, timely delivery, and incremental improvements. You'll have a significant influence on our DevOps practices and tooling choices.
