Role Mission
As a Senior Staff Product Manager for Platform & APIs, you will drive the strategic direction for Ataccama’s core data processing engine and programmatic interfaces. You’ll define how our platform scales to process massive data volumes efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively across the modern data stack - from Databricks and Snowflake to Kafka and beyond.
You will own the end-to-end API and SDK strategy that makes Ataccama accessible and extensible, while also leading key product decisions around how our underlying engine executes, optimizes, and scales data workloads. This is a highly technical IC role that blends platform architecture, developer experience, and deep product strategy.
Your work will directly influence how Ataccama handles distributed processing, hybrid workloads, and large-scale metadata-driven automation - making our platform a first-class citizen within today’s data ecosystems.
Your challenge:
- Own the API & SDK execution and strategy: Lead the vision, roadmap, and delivery of our programmatic interfaces, ensuring APIs and SDKs are intuitive, secure, and interoperable across Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Airflow, Kafka, and dbt.
- Define and drive platform strategy: Shape the long-term direction of Ataccama’s data processing and compute architecture, including distributed execution, workload optimization, and performance at enterprise scale.
- Bridge APIs and engine architecture: Ensure our APIs expose meaningful, scalable capabilities aligned with how the Ataccama engine executes data quality, observability, and governance workloads.
- Stay ahead of the curve: Understand trends in distributed data processing, query engines, and data integration architectures, and evolve our platform accordingly.
- Collaborate with engineering leadership: Partner with senior staff engineers and architects to translate product strategy into technical execution and guide trade-off decisions between scalability, cost, and simplicity.
- Support enterprise scale: Design for performance, reliability, security, and compliance requirements of large enterprises.
- Engage with customers and partners: Gather feedback from data engineers, architects, and developers from both our customer base and partner ecosystem to ensure our APIs and SDKs solve real-world problems that fit naturally into enterprise data ecosystems.
- Establish success measures: Define and track adoption metrics, usage analytics, and developer satisfaction scores to ensure continuous improvement.
