Data Platform Engineering Manager

 

Description:

The Data Platform team powers Pantheon's data infrastructure and delivers analytics across the company. We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team and define what a mature data organization looks like at Pantheon. You'll partner directly with the VP of Engineering.

What you Need to Succeed
 

  • Lead and develop a team of 5+ engineers (software and analytics) through 1:1s, performance reviews, and career growth planning.
  • Own the technical strategy and operations of Pantheon's complete data platform.
  • Architect scalable, reliable data systems while maintaining SLOs for business-critical pipelines
  • Partner with Product, Sales Ops, Finance, and Executive leadership to deliver high-impact data solutions
  • Establish sustainable processes that balance strategic platform work with business support needs
  • Drive self-service tooling and a data-driven culture across Pantheon's teams
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and technologies in data engineering, analytics, and modern data platforms
  • Continuously improve our standard of engineering excellence by implementing best practices for data architecture, testing, pipeline reliability, and documentation
     

What you Bring to the Table
 

  • 8+ years in data engineering or data platform roles, with experience developing senior/staff-level engineers
  • You have deep experience with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and driving efficiency improvements
  • You know how to say no without burning bridges
  • You think strategically about team design and how to staff versus enable skillsets across the data organization.
  • You would rather build self-service than field the same request twice
  • You are a clear communicator, able to translate complex data concepts for executive audiences and advocate effectively for your team.
  • You have experience with modern data stacks (Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Looker, or similar)
