Software Engineering Manager, Data & Analytics

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the strategy for Limble's analytical data infrastructure

• Architect and own the reporting framework that stream-aligned engineering teams use to embed analytics into their product areas
• Partner with product leadership to translate customer and business analytics needs into a technical roadmap
• Build, hire, and lead a high-performing team of data and analytics engineers
• Drive significant architectural decisions through ADR reviews with Principal and Staff engineers, bringing well-reasoned proposals and leading the conversation
• Own the observability of your data pipelines by defining SLAs for data freshness and quality, build alerting, and keep your consumers informed when something's off
• Establish data governance and quality standards so the rest of engineering can trust the data they're building on top of
• Drive adoption of the reporting framework across stream-aligned teams
• Stay hands-on enough to review critical design decisions, contribute to architecture, and help your team get unstuck

Requirements

• Strong background in data modeling, ELT/ETL pipeline design, and building analytics-ready datasets
• Experience building or contributing to a reporting or analytics framework consumed by multiple engineering teams or product surfaces
• Experience owning data pipeline observability such as monitoring, alerting, SLAs, and incident response for data freshness and quality issues
• Actively leveraging AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, or similar) in day-to-day development and sets the expectation for the team to do the same
• Some exposure with embedding AI driven capabilities inside of a SaaS product
• Comfortable staying player-coach: you can write a design doc, review a schema, or weigh in on a query optimization
• Track record of hiring and developing engineers; you know what a good data engineer looks like and can get them excited about our mission here at Limble
