About the role
- Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency.
- We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions - not just problems.
- We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture.
Responsibilities
- Do you thrive on building organizations whose output becomes the foundation every product team depends on?
- As a Senior Engineering Manager at Ridgeline, you will lead the team responsible for Ridgeline's data access and semantics layer - the infrastructure that defines what data means, governs how it's written, and standardizes how it's read across the platform.
- Drive your team's roadmap toward a universal query interface - reducing direct-to-persistence-store patterns in product code and establishing store access adapters as the platform standard
- Partner with Staff+ engineers to shape the write path architecture, guiding replication and indexing pipelines toward a declarative, independently authored model running on shared compute infrastructure
- Champion the long-term investment in query federation - building organizational and technical readiness for cross-store analytics without coupling product engineering to persistence infrastructure
- Hire, develop, and retain top engineering talent - cultivating a culture of data correctness, technical thoroughness, and platform ownership
- Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to align data platform investments with company objectives
- Manage the inter-team interface with infrastructure partners - your team authors what flows through the persistence and event infrastructure; you own the contracts and access patterns that make that work reliable
- Experience building or managing data access abstractions - store access adapters, query federation engines, or platform-level query interfaces that standardize how services read data
Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with at least 5+ years managing engineering teams
