The role
We’re looking for a talented, curious, and motivated engineering manager to lead our engineering team that manages our 300+ destination integrations. This role would involve a mix of leadership and hands-on engineering.
Destination integrations are at the heart of Hightouch’s products. Every single Hightouch customer, from early adopters of our Agentic Marking Platform to customers running tens of thousands of syncs a day at scale, rely on these integrations to send their data to destinations like CRMs, advertising platforms, analytics engines, and more.
We believe in enabling our engineers to do their best work for our customers by giving them extremely high levels of ownership and autonomy. You would lead the team by example, raise the bar for technical execution, and continuously ensure the team is focusing on the highest-value deliverables.
We ship quickly - it’s not uncommon for someone to implement a new integration while simultaneously shipping a few improvements in a week. Engineers also regularly work directly with customers and integration partners to solution new use cases as they come up.
Here’s an example of some problems you’d be working on:
Managing our 300+ integrations: We get tens of requests for new destinations and even more requests to add functionality to our existing integrations. You’ll be responsible for prioritizing these requests to balance enabling immediate deals with longer-term business strategy and engineering improvements.
Sync speed: Customers want to sync large volumes of data to a diverse set of destinations (HTTP APIs, file transfers, data warehouses), each with its own limitations. We need to ensure that we’re maximizing our performance via a combination of parallelism, batching, rate-limit detection, and algorithmic optimizations.
AI developer productivity and enablement: How can rapid advances in AI help us ship faster and with higher quality?
