Who You Are

Our Data Platform connects sensors and radars through EchoWare to cloud services and internal data systems. As Engineering Manager, Data Platform, you will lead the team responsible for building and operating the services, data flows, and interfaces that connect these environments. The team will securely move operational radar data into Echodyne’s data platform and turn those capabilities into reusable services that support products and teams across the company.

You stay close to the technology, understand the tradeoffs being made, ask the right questions, and use your experience to support and vet important technical decisions. You create the conditions for engineers and technical leads to own detailed architecture and implementation while ensuring decisions are pragmatic, technically sound, and aligned with business needs.

You have experience building cloud and distributed systems from the ground up and understand that successful 0 → 1 development requires deliberate choices about what must be built now, what needs a strong foundation, and what can reasonably wait.

You are a strategic thinker who can use the systems being built today as a beachhead for broader services, capabilities, and product opportunities over time.

You are also a team builder and strong cross-functional partner, comfortable leading work across edge and cloud environments and collaborating closely with Analytics, Research, Product, and other engineering teams.

Required Experience

• 5+ years managing engineering teams, including hiring, developing talent, setting priorities, and driving accountability.
• Proven experience building new systems, platforms, or products from the ground up in environments where requirements and architecture were still evolving.
• Strong understanding of edge computing and cloud platforms, with practical experience building production services, APIs, distributed systems, and data pipelines, particularly for data-intensive systems with real-time delivery requirements.
• Comfortable evaluating architecture and design choices, identifying risks and unnecessary complexity, and helping teams make pra

needs with longer-term platform investments.

• Lead delivery of cohesive systems spanning edge processing, cloud services, and the interfaces between them.
• Deliver reliable shared services that other teams can depend on, with clear ownership and operational expectations.
• Use today’s platform as the foundation for future services, capabilities, and product expansion.
• Establish clear priorities, accountability, engineering practices, and operational maturity as the team grows.
