Sr. Manager, Data Platform Engineering

About SimpliSafe

We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.

About the Job

SimpliSafe has quickly emerged as a leader in the home security space, thanks to our commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions. We’re seeking individuals to join our growing team to help carry out our mission to make every customer feel safe and secure in their home.

We’re investing in a multi-quarter Enterprise Data Platform program to move our data and analytics stack onto a modern lakehouse. We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Data Platform Engineering to lead the team that builds, operates, and evolves that platform, and to make sure SimpliSafe owns and can run what we build. You’ll manage the current platform, partner with vendors to implement the new one, and work with the Senior Manager, Data Engineering to plan the deprecation of legacy infrastructure. You’ll stay close enough to the technical work to review designs, challenge estimates, and make the calls that matter, without being your team’s sole architect.

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll report to the Senior Director, Data Platform, and lead a team of core platform and data integration engineers plus a Data Architect. You’ll work closely with the Senior Manager, Data Engineering, whose team builds and operates the silver and gold pipelines that serve our Analytics and Data Science organizations. Your platform is the foundation they build on. You’ll also partner with the Senior Program Manager, who owns the integrated roadmap and executive reporting, and with Security, Privacy, and Infrastructure, who retain enterprise policy and risk accountability.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and grow the team. Hire, coach, develop, and performance-manage platform, DevOps, and integration engineers plus the Data Architect, and manage capacity across build, migration, and legacy support.
• Own the platform...
