Data Foundations Engineering Manager

Impact As a Data Foundations Engineering Manager located in Birmingham, AL, Minneapolis, MN or San Francisco, CA, you will be the engine that transitions our data infrastructure from a centralized queue into a modern software platform.

You will own the vision, roadmap, and developer experience, build elegant Command Line Interfaces (CLIs) and SDKs to minimize onboarding friction, and lead the technical design of our Pipeline‑as‑a‑Service (PaaS) infrastructure to move away from manual ETL builds toward automated, reusable code frameworks.
