Apartment List is a rental marketplace that connects renters with compatible properties using technology, personalized matching, generative AI, and machine learning. The Senior Manager, Data & Analytics Engineering will unify data and analytics engineering under one leader, overseeing teams, technical roadmaps, platform architecture, pipelines, modeling, and stakeholder-facing metrics.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end technical roadmap for Data & Analytics Engineering, from ingestion and pipeline architecture through to the modeling layer and the tables and metrics stakeholders rely on, and prioritize it against real business need
- Directly manage and develop Analytics Engineers and Data Engineers, setting clear expectations, running regular 1:1s, and owning hiring, growth, and performance decisions for both disciplines
- Make and defend the case for platform and architecture investments (orchestration, warehouse cost, CI/CD, data access, tooling) before they become blockers
- Set and uphold standards for testing, monitoring, documentation, and code quality, and be the escalation point for the hardest architectural or production issues
- Partner directly with Product, Data Science, Marketing, and other business stakeholders to translate ambiguous data needs into a scoped, sequenced roadmap, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike
- Represent the team's priorities, risks, and investment needs in cross-functional and leadership planning
Skills
- Experience directly managing data engineers and/or analytics engineers, including hiring, coaching, and performance management
- Experience leading end to end data production, from platform to analytics mart
- Hands-on data infrastructure experience: designing or making architectural tradeoffs in pipeline orchestration, warehousing, and platform reliability, deep enough to review others' architecture decisions and make the final call
- Hands-on experience with SQL-based modeling sufficient to evaluate modeling and metrics decisions, not just pipeline and platform work
- A track record of setting technical roadmaps and making an investment case to leadership, not just executing against a roadmap set by someone else
- Demonstrated ability to evaluate and communicate architectural and modeling tradeoffs (freshness vs. cost, scalability vs. simplicity) to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience partnering with non-technical stakeholders to define metrics and resolve conflicting data priorities across teams
- Experience managing both a data engineering and an analytics engineering function specifically, rather than one or the other
- Experience owning a BI/semantic layer tool (Looker, Tableau, or similar) as a product, including cross-team data model standards
- Experience introducing AI-assisted tooling into engineering or analytics workflows at a team level
- Background in marketplace, real estate, subscription, or performance marketing data models
