As Engineering Manager for the Segmentation team, you will lead a team of backend engineers building the scalable, reliable systems powering Attentive's platform.

You'll need a strong technical foundation in backend engineering, distributed systems, APIs, data modeling, and scalable application architecture. Experience building and operating high-volume production systems with focus on reliability, performance, and maintainability is essential.
The tech stack includes Java and Spring Boot microservices, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes on AWS EKS, Istio, Datadog, Terraform, and event-driven systems processing large data volumes. You'll guide technical tradeoffs, lead complex initiatives from design through production, and foster cross-functional alignment with Engineering, Product, and other stakeholders. Experience with modern development practices and AI-powered engineering tools is valued.
