As an engineering manager, you’ll lead our growing engineering team. You’ll partner closely with CTA’s leadership and Product org to lead end-to-end our software engineering lifecycle. You’ll foster a creative environment, adding order to a fast-growing team. Most importantly, you’ll provide coaching and mentoring to our diverse team of engineers.
Our infrastructure leverages powerful open-source and cloud-based tools, including Google BigQuery, Cloud Composer, Airbyte (ELT/ETL), and dbt. We use this tooling to empower our progressive organization partners to help them run effective campaigns and help bring clarity to pressing analytics and targeting problems in the progressive space.
About us
Community Tech Alliance is a group of progressive technologists and strategists formed to provide data infrastructure building blocks to the progressive ecosystem at a low cost. CTA seeks to uplevel program impact by unlocking the potential of data, using software and data engineering, and removing the barriers to entry. We are a small team of engineers, data practitioners, product managers, and strategists looking to create infrastructure for progressive change.
Community Tech Alliance believes strongly that:
As an Engineering Manager, you should:
Have a few years of day-to-day engineering management experience, leading both technical and people responsibilities
Be ready to dive into solving problems, writing code alongside the team, while also helping to guide our larger technical vision
Have experience working with cloud-based infrastructure projects with multiple engineers or contributors
Have experience working day-to-day using a popular data warehouse, like Redshift, Vertica, BigQuery, or Snowflake
Bring a security and reliability-first mindset to how we build and support products
Have led engineers through faster iterative product cycles, empowering engineers to bring their best work to our organization
Be able to work with, clarify, and find creative solutions to (sometimes) ambiguous requirements from our partners
We use things like:
Python, SQL, and Java run in containerized environments on Google Compute Engine and Kubernetes Engine
ReactJS frontends and NodeJS-powered backends, hosted serverlessly in Google Cloud Platform
HashiCorp Terraform and open-source build and testing tooling
Google Cloud Platform (too many individual services and APIs to name!)
Airplane and other cloud-hosted tools that allow us to run an efficient remote team and solve problems quickly and without a lot of overhead. You can even read a case study written about our (fanatical) usage of Airplane here.
We don’t expect every applicant to know or have worked with every technology we’ve listed, so we urge you to apply if you’re interested and some of the above apply to you! We’re looking for engineers of all levels and hiring for the people over the position above all else.
