Engineering Manager – Data & Analytics
As Engineering Manager for our Data & Analytics team, you will lead a team of 4-5 engineers while staying meaningfully hands-on as a technical player-coach. This is not a traditional management role. You are someone with a strong and senior data engineering background who genuinely wants to step into management. You will own the team's delivery, drive stakeholder alignment, and bring the technical depth needed to develop your team and keep us on the right track.
You will work closely with the Director of Engineering and product stakeholders, on sequencing, prioritization, and roadmap negotiation — with enough technical grounding to make sound decisions and mentor engineers day to day.
Our environment
- Data operates on two fronts: maintaining and evolving a self-service data platform, and delivering as a product team
- While the overall architecture direction is established for the near term, you'll shape the details and influence the technical direction as the roadmap extends into 2027 and beyond.
- You are the voice on data. Driving delivery and managing the interfaces with the broader staff engineering community available to support on high-level architectural input.
- Data governance for AI agents is an emerging and fast-growing priority — a technically exciting area we're starting to build into
What you'll be doing
- Lead and develop a team of 4-5 engineers: coaching, unblocking delivery, and building a product-minded data engineering culture
- Own the team's roadmap sequencing. Negotiating priorities with product stakeholders, pushing back where needed, and finding constructive compromises
- Mediate be
