The Platform Engineering Team at ABCorp owns the full data and integration infrastructure that powers our products and business. We build and operate the pipelines, APIs, and integrations that move critical data across our systems — from ERP and manufacturing to CRM, product analytics, and customer-facing platforms. Our team works closely with Engineering, Product, Analytics, and IT to ensure that every part of the organization has access to reliable, well-modeled, and actionable data. This is a domain with real breadth: operational data, customer data, analytics, and the platform capabilities that tie it all together.

The Role
ABCorp is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Engineering team — a player-coach role with direct responsibility for the people, architecture, and delivery across data, analytics, APIs, and integrations. You will manage a team of 3–5 engineers and own the technical foundation that every product team at ABCorp depends on, spanning operational and customer data flows, cloud data infrastructure, API development, and third-party system integrations.
The ideal candidate brings both strong technical depth and genuine enthusiasm for building high-performing teams. You are as comfortable reviewing a data pipeline architecture or an API design as you are running a 1:1, managing roadmap trade-offs with Product leadership, or setting engineering standards that raise the bar for the whole team. This is a hands-on management role with meaningful opportunities to shape ABCorp’s technical platform and its engineering culture.
This is an in-person role with our team based in Boston, MA. Please note there is no Visa Sponsorship for this position.
How You’ll Make a Difference
Lead and develop a team of 3–5 engineers spanning data platform, analytics engineering, API development, and system integrations — setting direction, removing blockers, and building a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement.
Own the Platform Engineering roadmap — prioritizing initiatives across data pipelines, warehouse infrastructure, API development, integration architecture, and operational data systems in close collaboration with Product, Sales, and Customer Success.
Architect and deliver APIs and integrations that connect ABCorp’s core products to external platforms — including ERP systems, CRM tools, payment networks, and third-party data providers — with a focus on reliability, maintainability, and developer experience.
Ensure the reliability, scalability, and observability of ABCorp’s data platform — including cloud data pipelines, the analytics warehouse, data quality frameworks, and the self-service infrastructure that product and business teams depend on daily.
Own the operational and customer data domain — the models, pipelines, and reporting layers that power product analytics, customer success, sales operations, and executive reporting across ABCorp’s product lines.
Serve as the technical escalation point for your team — reviewing system designs and architecture proposals, unblocking complex cross-team dependencies, and ensuring the platform upholds high standards of reliability and engineering discipline.
Drive engineering best practices across the Platform Engineering team — including code quality standards, testing coverage, documentation habits, and delivery rigor — raising the bar as the team and domain scale.
Partner with Product Management, Sales, and Customer Success to translate business requirements into a coherent platform roadmap — building cross-functional alignment on priorities, trade-offs, and delivery commitments.
What Excites You
Building the enabling layer — the platform infrastructure that every other team depends on — and knowing that the quality of your work is foundational to every product ABCorp ships.
Operating at the intersection of data, integrations, and product engineering — where the technical decisions are genuinely complex, the cross-functional surface is broad, and the business impact is direct and measurable.
Growing a team and a domain together — not just delivering individual projects, but building lasting engineering capability, raising standards, and developing engineers who can take on increasing ownership over time.
Who You Are
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
5+ years of professional software or data engineering experience, with 2+ years in a formal engineering lead or management role overseeing a technical team.
Hands-on technical depth in at least two of the following: data platform engineering (pipelines, warehouse, dbt, Spark), API development (REST, GraphQL, event streaming), system integrations (ETL/ELT, ERP/CRM connectors, webhooks), or analytics engineering.
Demonstrated experience owning a technical domain end-to-end — setting engineering standards, driving code quality, managing architecture decisions, and delivering reliably against a roadmap, ideally across a multi-person team.
Experience with Azure cloud infrastructure relevant to platform engineering — including Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, ADLS, Azure API Management, Azure Service Bus, or similar services.
Experience with legacy operational systems — ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), CRM platforms, or manufacturing systems — and building integrations or data pipelines that bridge legacy and modern cloud infrastructure.
Strong communicator and cross-functional partner — able to represent the Platform Engineering team to Product, Sales, and Executive stakeholders, align on priorities under ambiguity, and translate technical complexity into clear decisions.
Experience growing and developing individual contributors — through 1:1s, feedback, career conversations, and giving engineers opportunities that stretch their abilities and build their confidence.
Familiarity with payments, card issuance, authentication, identity, fintech, or secure manufacturing is a plus — or a genuine curiosity to learn an industry with real technical depth and meaningful real-world impact.
A track record of building high-performing teams where engineers grow, stay, and do their best work.
Ability to work onsite in Boston, MA.
