Job Description
Engineering Manager, Data Platform
ServiceTitan
Role Description We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join our Data & Reporting Platform team. In this role, you'll own the technical direction and day-to-day execution of a team building the data infrastructure that powers the enterprise. You'll balance hands-on architectural guidance with people leadership — helping engineers grow while ensuring the platform is reliable, scalable, and aligned to business needs. - Lead and Mentor: - Manage and grow a team of 5+ data engineers. - Set clear expectations, provide regular feedback, and invest in career development. - Build a team culture rooted in ownership, craftsmanship, and psychological safety. - Architectural Leadership: - Drive architectural decisions across the platform, with particular depth in Data Sharing and Semantic Layer design. - Ensure systems are built for high availability, scalability, and security. - Technical Excellence: - Guide the team through complex technical challenges, including Semantic Modeling, data mesh patterns, and platform reliability. - Hold a high bar for code quality, testing, and observability. - Performance Optimization: - Lead efforts to improve query performance and platform efficiency. - Ensure data consumers across the organization can access what they need quickly and reliably. - Strategic Execution: - Collaborate with product managers and architects to define and deliver the data platform roadmap. - Translate business requirements into technical priorities and communicate trade-offs clearly. - Operational Health: - Own the operational posture of the platform — monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call rotation management. - Establish and report on team-level operational metrics. - Governance & Process: - Define engineering best practices and champion shift-left data governance, including data quality, lineage, and access control. Qualifications - 8+ years in data or software engineering, with 2+ years managing engineering teams of 5 or more. - Proven experience designing complex data systems, with specific expertise in Semantic Layering and Data Sharing at enterprise scale. - Deep, hands-on experience with dbt and semantic models (e.g., MetricFlow) — including designing and scaling semantic models in production. - Strong proficiency with Snowflake and SQL. - Experience with Spark, Python, and Snowpark is a plus. - Hands-on experience with technologies such as Cursor, Claude CLI/Code, Kibana, and Airflow. - Experience owning on-call processes, managing incidents, and defining operational metrics that drive team accountability. - Solid command of CI/CD practices (e.g., GitHub Actions) and data observability tooling such as DataDog or Monte Carlo. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. - Able to align cross-functional stakeholders, articulate technical trade-offs, and influence architectural direction without direct authority. Requirements - This position requires flexibility to overlap with US working hours as needed. Benefits - We celebrate individuality and uniqueness. - We believe that the convergence of fresh perspectives and experiences from all walks of life is what makes our product and culture so great.

Senior Engineering Manager, Non-Linear Productivity
GitLabBuild software faster. The One DevOps Platform enables your entire org to collaborate around your code. We're hiring.
• Define and continuously refine the operating model for the non-linear productivity pilot: what "friction" means, how it's diagnosed, and how fixes are prioritized against the three system-level metrics. • Identify and prioritize non-linear productivity opportunities (step-change fixes rather than incremental gains) across the SDLC, including flaky tests, review latency, pipeline reliability, tooling gaps, and context loss for both human and agentic contributors. • Translate an intentionally broad, ambiguous mandate ("find the friction, fix it at the root") into a concrete, time-boxed roadmap with defined milestones for a 3-month pilot window. • Personally source, evaluate, and select 4 exceptional engineers for the pilot squad. You own this hiring bar directly rather than delegating it to a pipeline. • Negotiate allocation models (100% vs. partial/dual-hat) with each engineer's current EM, balancing team commitments against the pilot's needs. • Set the technical direction and working norms for a small, fast-moving team: how work is scoped, how decisions get made, and how progress gets reported. • Mentor the engineers on this team in root-cause diagnosis and shift-left thinking, raising the bar for rigor versus reaching for the nearest patch. • Lead hands-on investigation to instrument and baseline the three top-level metrics (MRPM, pipeline success rate, pipeline latency) so the org has an honest starting point before any fix is proposed. • Diagnose the highest-leverage friction points dragging each metric down, and validate hypotheses with real data before committing team time to a fix. • Design and implement fixes that compound, including shift-left quality changes, tooling investment, and better context and interfaces for both humans and agents, rather than one-off patches. • Stay hands-on enough to review architecture, dig into pipeline internals, and unblock the team on hard technical problems directly. • Own a small set of high-impact friction areas as pathfinders, driving each from diagnosis through fix to measurable metric movement. • Work directly with affected engineering teams to ensure fixes are trusted, adopted, and don't quietly get reverted or worked around. • Track and report metric movement honestly, including when a bet didn't pay off. • Capture and codify reusable patterns and playbooks so that fixes validated by this team can be adopted org-wide with minimal friction. • Set a cadence for reporting impact back to EM peers and leadership, framed around metric movement rather than activity. • Ensure the pilot's fixes degrade gracefully and don't introduce new reliability risk into CI/CD systems that other teams depend on.
Manager, Engineering – Git & Gitaly Operations
GitLabBuild software faster. The One DevOps Platform enables your entire org to collaborate around your code. We're hiring.
• Build and lead a team with deep platform expertise in Git and Gitaly, hiring and developing engineers who can operate this infrastructure layer with strong operational judgment. • Own production reliability for Git and Gitaly across GitLab's full deployment footprint. • Drive incident management, root cause investigation, and postmortems with the technical depth to distinguish a Git internals problem from a generic infrastructure problem. • Design and operate Git and Gitaly service models that work across Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated, and SaaS, with a clear view of which elements are common and which must differ between them. • Maintain cloud-agnostic architecture and tooling decisions, avoiding designs that assume a single hyperscaler's primitives. • Partner with the teams that own each deployment model so operational practices stay coherent rather than fragmenting into separate playbooks. • Apply distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, replication, and failure domains, to Gitaly's storage and replication model. • Own elastic storage and compute strategy for Git repository data, including capacity planning, autoscaling, and consumption-based provisioning for GitLab's largest self-managed and SaaS customers.
