Engineering Manager, Feature Engineering

At Tecton, we are on a mission to bring Machine Learning to every customer and product interaction on the planet. We build an enterprise-grade, world-class Feature Platform - the infrastructure that powers real-time ML applications and systems in production.

Tecton's founders developed the first Feature Store when they created Uber's Michelangelo ML platform, and we're now bringing those same capabilities to every organization in the world.

Tecton is funded by Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Kleiner Perkins, along with strategic investments from Snowflake and Databricks. We have a fast-growing team that's distributed around the world, with offices in San Francisco and New York City. Our team has years of experience building and operating business-critical machine learning systems at leading tech companies like Uber, Google, Meta, Airbnb, Lyft, and Twitter.

As an Engineering Manager for our Feature Engineering team, you will play a critical role in shaping the team's strategic direction and implementation of Tecton's core Feature Engineering SDK, APIs, and developer toolkit. Feature Engineering owns the abstractions and APIs used to build sophisticated ML pipelines used by thousands of developers. The team effectively owns the "hot path UX" through Tecton. Your leadership and technical expertise will directly influence Tecton's core user experience from sign-up through feature development and finally production. You'll partner with Product, Design, and Marketing, and Field teams to define the roadmap that helps companies ranging from Fortune 100s to startups accelerate their path to real-time AI.
