Engineering Manager - Catalog Integration

What you will do

You will lead a team of software engineers to deliver high-impact results. Your responsibilities in this role:

• Own the reliability and timeliness of the real-time catalog feeds and publication pipeline that unblock every downstream, member-facing system, including the fast lanes and override lanes that keep a bad entry from holding up the rest of the catalog
• Own Catalog Entity, our shared content modeling abstraction, evolving it to represent common structure and content-type-specific variation across films, episodic series, live shows, sports, and future content types without requiring a bespoke pipeline for each
• Own the data integrity of the catalog: validate collected data against the model and business logic, hold back or override bad changes, and detect and remediate systemic feed failures
• Partner with peer teams on setup-side object modeling and on the downstream member-facing contract
• Lead collaboration with engineers, program managers, product managers, and other stakeholders to drive vision, strategy, and adoption
• Foster a culture of accountability, ensuring timely and reliable delivery of the team's roadmap to support business needs
• Act as a trusted technical advisor, guiding thoughtful decision-making in ambiguous situations
• Communicate complex ideas clearly and influence decisions among diverse stakeholders
• Balance business goals with strong engineering practices, investing in foundational work and continuous improvements
• Hire, coach, and lead a team of engineers with deep data modeling and distributed systems expertise, inspiring exceptional results in stability, performance, and product experience
• Build an inclusive team culture where everyone feels empowered, accepted, and respected

What we are looking for

• 3 or more years building and managing high-performing, inclusive teams, attracting top talent, fostering accountability, and ensuring all voices inform decisions.
• Experience delivering and operating high-performance data pipelines with near-real-time latency, balanced with consistency and partition tolerance, behind production internet consumer-scale workloads
• Experience driving a culture of excellence, unlocking high-velocity business and product results while cultivating an ownership culture with best-in-breed systems reliability and operational readiness.
• Proven ability to define and communicate systems strategy to drive long-term product feature enablement.
• Skilled at prioritizing team efforts, aligning them with business objectives, and using data, input, and pilot investments to bring rigor to decision-making.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills to build cross-functional partnerships, influence strategic direction, and empower team members across global teams.

Nice to have

• Experience building generative AI solutions in ambiguous environments, with a proven ability to creatively experiment, develop innovative approaches, and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.
• Experience leading engineering teams supporting large-scale data pipelines updating in the 10M+ updates/second regime
• Experience with in-memory data snapshot architectures, point-in-time consistency, or graph-aware rollback/recovery systems
• Experience leading the operation and optimization of CPU- and memory-intensive cloud services in the range of 1,000s to 10,000s of CPUss
