Engineering Manager, Destinations
Engineering Manager, Integrations (Player/Coach)
Location: RemoteCompensation: $200,000 - $350,000
About Our Client
Our client builds a data activation platform that helps companies sync data from their sources into the tools that run their business-CRMs, ad platforms, analytics tools, warehouses, and more. At the center of the product is a large and growing ecosystem of 300+ destination integrations that every customer depends on, from early adopters to teams running tens of thousands of syncs per day at scale.
They operate with high ownership and autonomy: engineers ship quickly, work directly with customers and partners, and build solutions end-to-end.
The Role
Our client is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for their destination integrations. This is a player/coach role blending people leadership with hands-on engineering. You'll lead by example, raise the bar for technical execution, and ensure the team consistently delivers the highest-value work for customers.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building systems that sit at the intersection of APIs, data movement, performance constraints, reliability, and customer-driven iteration.
What You'll Work On- Managing and Scaling 300+ Integrations
- Own prioritization across a constant stream of requests: new destinations, deeper functionality, and partner-driven needs
- Balance short-term deal enablement with long-term platform strategy and engineering improvements
- Improve the developer experience for building and maintaining integrations at high velocity
- Sync Speed and Reliability at Scale
- Optimize data sync performance across a wide range of destination types (HTTP APIs, file transfers, data warehouses)
- Engineer for rate limits and destination-specific constraints using parallelism, batching, retry/backoff, and algorithmic improvements
- Improve observability, resiliency, and correctness to keep syncs reliable as customers scale
- AI-Enabled Developer Productivity
- Explore how AI can help the team ship faster and with higher quality (coding assistants, automated testing, tooling, and workflow improvements)
- Establish practical practices that increase velocity without sacrificing reliability
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of engineers-raising performance through coaching and clear expectations
- Stay hands-on: contribute to design, reviews, and implementation where it creates leverage
- Drive prioritization and execution: keep the team focused on high-impact deliverables tied to customer outcomes
- Partner cross-functionally with customer-facing teams and external integration partners to unblock use cases quickly
- Set and maintain engineering standards for code quality, reliability, and operational excellence
- Build a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement
What Our Client Is Looking For
You'll be a strong fit if you:
- Are motivated by delivering customer value quickly-and can guide a team to do the same
- Enjoy mentoring and developing engineers, especially newer engineers
- Want a blend of hands-on development with people leadership
- Reason from first principles, stay curious, and seek ground truth in ambiguous problems
- Form clear opinions and communicate them with clarity
- Care deeply about quality, reliability, and shipping velocity
Bonus: Experience building and scaling a platform with hundreds of API integrations.
Why This Role- Own a mission-critical surface area: integrations that power every customer's value
- Work in a high-ownership environment where shipping fast is normal
- Solve hard engineering problems: performance, rate limits, reliability, and ever-changing third-party APIs
- Influence both the technical direction and the team's growth trajectory
