Engineering Manager

Atlan is building the missing context layer for data and AI, helping enterprises close the AI value chasm. Today, 95% of AI pilots fail because AI systems don’t understand the context behind data: what it means, how it’s governed, and how it should be used.

Atlan connects to every part of the modern data and AI stack to unify this context into a single, shared layer that both humans and AI agents can rely on.

With Atlan, teams can discover, understand, and trust their data; build and collaborate on a shared body of knowledge; and activate that context across analytics, operations, and AI workflows.Trusted by global enterprises like Mastercard, Workday, General Motors, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, Nasdaq, and Medtronic, we’re backed by world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures

Atlan is building the context layer for the AI era, the control plane that makes enterprise data usable, governed, extensible, and AI-ready.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to join one of our core platform teams. This is not a coordination role. We need an engineer-first, hands-on platform leader who has built and owned foundational systems at scale, whether that's distributed platform primitives and ingestion infrastructure, or data quality systems and AI-native product surfaces that sit on top of them.

Depending on the team you join, you'll own one of two high-leverage problem spaces:

You’ve built or owned foundational systems such as:

• →

  Data ingestion frameworks or lakehouse foundations

• →

  Metadata, governance, or catalog platforms

• →

  Multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure and tenant isolation mechanisms

• →

  Search, storage, or distributed serving layers

• →

  Data quality, validation, or contract enforcement systems

We’re particularly excited about leaders who have operated in data platform environments but equally value those who have built core platforms and shared infrastructure powering enterprise SaaS systems.

You’ve led and scaled engineering teams (including managing managers), ideally within platform, infrastructure, or data-heavy SaaS organizations.

You bring credibility in distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and operating high-availability platforms with strict SLOs.

Atlan is building the shared context layer that enterprises need so AI can operate on trusted, governed context. The conversation has moved from data leaders asking: “Can we trust the data in our stack?” to businesses asking: “Can we trust AI inside the business?”

We are the missing infrastructure for businesses becoming AI-forward - the connective tissue between their data stack, operational systems, and AI agents.
