Life at Plume
At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life’s moments better. Which is why we’ve built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.
We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We’re expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data.
With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can’t do it exceptionally well, we don’t do it. It’s how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it’s how we’re reinventing what’s possible every day.
This is a work-from-office / In-Office role based in our Hyderabad, India location.
About the team
Core Engineering builds the firmware and cloud platform that Plume's next-generation architecture is built on. We deliver the Plume Firmware Agent (PFA) across three reference platforms — RDK-B, prplOS / prplMesh, and OpenWRT / OpenSync — The highly scalable cloud core manages a fleet of connected devices over standards-based protocols.
About the role
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead one of Core Engineering's delivery teams. This is a hands-on-adjacent people-leadership role: you own the health, growth and output of a team of roughly 10-30 firmware, backend and QA engineers, and you are close enough to the technology to make real calls on scope, sequencing and trade-offs.
You will not be the only voice in the room. Core runs with technical leads, TPMs, product owners and QA leads across multiple regions, and the manager who succeeds here is the one who makes that distributed system work.
What you'll do:
Lead the team
Own delivery
Own technical direction with your leads
What we're looking for:
Leadership Skills
Technical Skills
About Plume
As the creator of the only open, hardware-independent, cloud-controlled experience platform for ISPs and their subscribers, Plume partners with over 400 ISP customers, including some of the world’s largest such as Charter, Liberty Global, and J:COM.
Using OpenSync, the most widely supported open-source, silicon-to-cloud framework for smart spaces, Plume’s software-defined network allows ISPs to decouple their service offerings from hardware and rapidly curate and deliver new services over a multi-vendor, open-platform architecture.
