Engineering Manager - Data Platform

What You’ll Do • Lead and develop a team of six experienced engineers, with a strong focus on coaching, career development, and creating an environment where people do the best work of their careers. • Take accountability for the team's delivery, ensuring clear priorities, healthy execution, and measurable outcomes.

• Partner with product and stakeholders to shape the roadmap for event delivery and privacy infrastructure. • Drive technical strategy and architectural decisions for systems operating at Spotify scale. • Build a culture of ownership, psychological safety, and continuous improvement. • Collaborate across Data Platform and the wider engineering organisation to align on shared goals and dependencies.

• Manage on-call health, operational excellence, and reliability for the team's services. • Actively participate in hiring, onboarding, and growing the team's capabilities. Who You Are • You have experience managing teams of senior/experienced engineers and understand that people leadership is your primary craft, not a side responsibility. • You have a track record of investing in engineers' careers - running meaningful development conversations, helping people grow into new roles, and creating clarity around expectations and progression. • You're comfortable with distributed data systems, event-driven architectures, or data infrastructure at scale - you don't need to write the code, but you can engage credibly in technical discussions and unblock your team.
