MNTN is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the Backend Reporting squad. You will build and operate the data foundation that powers customer-facing reporting and data-driven decision-making across the company. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role focused on owning production-grade data systems with real SLAs, cost constraints, and failure modes.
What You'll Do
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Data Engineers and Analytics Engineers.
- Own all analytics business logic and data engineering systems that power reporting, including metric definitions, ETLs, and data quality frameworks.
- Act as the primary owner of reporting correctness, ensuring consistent definitions and behavior across all downstream consumers.
- Establish and enforce data contracts, freshness guarantees, and reporting SLAs.
- Drive the design and evolution of reporting schemas optimized for performance, cost efficiency, and ease of extension.
- Build systems and guardrails that prevent regressions, reduce manual QA, and replace brittle logic with standard patterns.
- Lead incident response for reporting data issues, including stakeholder communication, root cause analysis, and remediation.
- Partner closely with Program, UI, and API teams to shape requirements, clarify tradeoffs, and support new customer-facing insights.
- Represent the Backend Reporting squad in cross-functional forums.
- Continuously improve performance tuning and cost optimization of analytics workloads.
- Set and uphold a high bar for operational rigor, testing discipline, and production readiness.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience managing Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, or SRE-adjacent Engineers building scalable production data platforms.
- Strong background in data engineering, distributed systems, or platform infrastructure.
- Demonstrated ability to balance platform rigor with Product ownership, including shaping requirements and setting expectations with stakeholders.
- Deep understanding of SQL-based analytics systems, including schema evolution, backfills, and versioned transformations.
- Experience operating data pipelines with defined SLAs for freshness, correctness, and performance.
- Hands-on familiarity with modern analytics tooling (e.g., SQLMesh, dbt-class frameworks, Airflow-class orchestration).
- Track record of reducing operational toil through automation, standardization, and system-level design.
- Experience with data observability, testing frameworks, and incident management in production environments.
- Strong stakeholder-facing communication skills, with the ability to explain complex data behavior clearly to non-technical audiences.
- Execution-oriented leadership style: you prioritize clarity, accountability, and outcomes over process theater.
