Engineering Manager, Destinations

Engineering Manager, Integrations (Player/Coach)

Location: Remote
Compensation: $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

1) 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

2) 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

3) 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

What You'll Do

• 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
