About the Role

As a Data Foundations Engineering Manager, you will transition data infrastructure from a centralized queue into a modern software platform. You will treat the data platform as an internal product, building backend services, APIs, and CI/CD frameworks to empower external software engineering teams to self-serve their data ingestion. Your focus will be on eliminating architecture bottlenecks and accelerating enterprise data velocity by leading a team of software and platform-leaning data engineers. You will own the vision, roadmap, and developer experience, build CLIs and SDKs to minimize onboarding friction, and lead the technical design of our Pipeline-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure.
