Associate Data Platform Engineering Manager

As an Associate Data Platform Engineering Manager reporting to the Head of Data Engineering in our Data & Analytics - Data Platform Engineering team, your purpose will be to lead a small, high-impact team of 2-3 platform engineers while staying heavily involved in hands-on technical work.

You’ll split your time between people leadership—coaching your team, driving agile delivery, and managing OKRs—and engineering tasks. You will design reliable Terraform/Terragrunt modules on GCP, champion data security controls (Dataplex, DLP), and establish standard, self-service developer tools that empower our downstream data teams to build with confidence.

Requirements

Essentially, to ensure you succeed in this role, you’re going to need...

• 5+ years of experience in data platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering, with initial experience leading, mentoring, or managing tech teams.
• Deep, practical experience using Terraform/Terragrunt to architect and manage infrastructure, preferably on Google Cloud Platform.
• Strong familiarity with GCP data services (BigQuery, Cloud Composer, GKE, IAM) and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes).
• A strong focus on customer enablement, platform reliability, system governance, and security.
• Professional English language skills (B2 level or higher).

It will also help you to have...

• An open-source-first mindset when researching, evaluating, or building internal platform tools.
• Exposure to PySpark and open table formats (Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake).
• Experience or strong interest in applying AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude) and monitoring LLM-driven pipelines.

Benefits

Some of the benefits we offer are:

• Remote-first work with options for office access depending on the market.
• Opportunity to develop in an international environment with teams in 6 countries.
• Work in a welcoming team always ready to help.
