Overstory is addressing the climate crisis by leveraging advanced technology to enhance electrical grid resilience. As an Engineering Manager, you will lead cross-functional teams, manage full stack and data engineers, and ensure the delivery of high-quality data platforms and pipelines to support machine learning-driven products.
Responsibilities:
- Enable our data engineers to become highly productive members of their cross-functional teams, empowering them to ship high-quality, reliable data platforms and pipelines on a daily basis
- Grow the teams by attracting great talent from your network
- Foster an inclusive and caring culture where everyone can do their best work
- Provide regular 1:1 coaching and feedback to tap into the potential of all your team members and help them thrive and reach their aspirations
- Be a strategic partner to product managers, machine learning engineers, and other stakeholders within your domains and ensure that we are making the correct data architecture and platform decisions that balance short and long term goals
- Ensure suitability of the data architecture, pipelines, and data models within your domains to enable longer term product, analytics, and machine learning goals
- Work closely with the other Product & Engineering leaders on strategy, technology and people, including improving our data engineering practices and introducing capabilities that can accelerate data access, reliability, and unlock new product and data-driven opportunities
