## About the role

As Engineering Manager for the Data Platform team, you'll lead a team of engineers building and operating the infrastructure that powers data ingestion, governance, storage, processing, and access across FloQast's product and analytics systems. This is a deeply technical role — roughly half your time is writing code, designing systems, and making architecture calls alongside your team. The other half is growing the people doing that work: hiring, developing, unblocking, and setting direction.

## What they're looking for

- Write production code and lead architectural design on the data platform — pipelines, storage layers, access APIs, and observability infrastructure
- Own technical decisions on Spark job structure, Iceberg table management, and streaming architecture on MSK/Kafka
- Review code at a level that raises the bar, not just catches bugs — you shape how the team thinks about distributed systems
- Drive modernization and tooling choices (Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Trino, and what comes next) with a bias toward operational simplicity and long-term maintainability
- Contribute to data governance: quality frameworks, lineage, access control, and compliance (GDPR, SOC2)
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers on the hardest problems — you're in the design docs, the code reviews, and the incident calls, not observing from the side
