Senior Engineering Manager (Data Platform)

Join Hadrian, a cutting-edge manufacturing company, as a Senior Engineering Manager for our Data Platform team. In this role, you will build and lead the team responsible for creating a reliable and coherent data platform that serves as the backbone of our operations. You will own the roadmap and delivery of the Data Platform, raise the operational bar for the platform, and partner with senior engineers on architecture. Additionally, you will hire and grow an exceptional team, setting a clear technical and performance bar and developing engineers into broader technical leaders.

• Construire et diriger l'équipe responsable de la fiabilité, de la cohérence et de l'utilité de la plateforme de données de l'entreprise.
• Posséder la feuille de route et la livraison de la plateforme de données, en transformant les besoins ambigus en priorités claires.
• Élever le niveau opérationnel de la plateforme en matière de fiabilité, de qualité des données, d'observabilité, de réponse aux incidents, etc.

• An operator's mindset. You know what your systems promise, how you know they are healthy, what happens when those promises fail, and how an incident becomes a permanent improvement rather than a recurring story
• Strong technical judgment in modern data and platform systems: event streaming and CDC, warehouses and lakehouses, orchestration, schema evolution, data modeling, distributed-system failure modes, and the tradeoffs behind reliable data delivery
• Experience building for environments with real constraints. You understand that the architecture changes when data comes from hardware, machines, devices, files, telemetry, regulated systems, edge environments, or other sources that do not behave like a clean application database
• A real platform mindset. You think in shared abstractions, contracts, ownership, operating guarantees, adoption, migration, deprecation, and paved roads — not just a set of infrastructure components owned by one team
• A track record leading engineers responsible for production data infrastructure, distributed systems, developer platforms, infrastructure, or similarly critical technical systems. For Senior EM, you have led multiple substantial workstreams or teams and developed senior technical leaders
• Strong people leadership and high agency across organizational boundaries. Your engineers know what is expected of them, where they stand, and how they can grow; when a dependency is blocking the team, you go resolve it rather than simply reporting it upward
• Experience taking a data or infrastructure platform from an early working system to a broadly adopted internal product used by many teams
• Experience operating in security-sensitive or regulated environments such as aerospace, defense, FedRAMP, CMMC, or other environments where data governance and access control are part of the architecture
• A track record of building strong hiring and onboarding systems and helping senior engineers become effective technical leads, Staff+ engineers, or future managers
• 5+ years of management experience in manufacturing, semiconductors, hardware, robotics, autonomy, industrial systems, test/measurement, or edge computing, especially where the data platform had to bridge software with physical systems. Backgrounds from companies such as NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Xilinx, Altera, Qualcomm, Applied Materials, Lam Research, Tesla, Anduril, Shield AI, or similar environments are especially relevant
• Experience with heterogeneous data beyond application tables: telemetry, events, files, device identity, timestamps and clock drift, units, provenance, schema drift, deletes, late or out-of-order data, partial records, retries, and backfills
