Nice to Have
- KLA Services is seeking a hands-on, AI-first Engineering Manager to lead the team building remote service software products for our field engineers who support and maintain KLA tools in the semiconductor fabrication plant, or "fab".
- This is a player-coach role: you will grow and lead a high-performing full-stack team while staying in the codebase yourself, setting the standard for how AI coding assistants and agentic workflows are used to design, build, and ship software.
- You will own the delivery, quality, and security of the remote service platform, ensuring our products remain robust, secure, and user-friendly and enabling seamless connectivity for our global workforce.
- Key Responsibilities: Lead, coach, and grow a team of full-stack software engineers, including hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, and career development, while remaining an active technical contributor to the team's work.
- Set technical direction for front-end applications, back-end services, APIs, and microservices, and stay hands-on through design reviews, code reviews, prototypes, and direct contributions to critical or ambiguous parts of the stack.
- Partner with marketing, product management, IT infrastructure, security, and support to align engineering execution with business priorities.
- Own roadmap development, backlog refinement, and release planning for the remote services portfolio.
- Manage team capacity, sprint commitments, and dependencies so that milestones are delivered predictably.
- Establish and uphold engineering standards for automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and production readiness.
- Drive incident response and root-cause resolution for production issues across the full technology stack.
- Ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards, and maintain the integrity and security of remote access systems.
- Lead an AI-first engineering practice: use coding assistants such as Claude Code and Devin in your own daily work, and define the standards, guardrails, and review practices that make AI-accelerated delivery safe, secure, and effective across the team.
- Personally evaluate emerging AI engineering tools, agentic workflows, and remote access technologies, run pilots with the team, and decide where to invest based on measured results.
- Manage stakeholder communication, including status reporting, risk escalation, and budget or vendor discussions as needed.
- Stay hands-on by writing and reviewing code, building prototypes, and pairing with engineers on complex problems, dedicating a meaningful share of your time to technical work.
- Model AI-first engineering behavior day to day, sharing working patterns, measuring their impact on cycle time and quality, and coaching engineers to adopt what works.
