About the role
Who We Are
Atlan is building the context layer for enterprise AI. Enterprises are pouring money into AI and most of it dies in production because the AI does not understand the business context around the data. That is the problem Atlan solves. Gartner has named context the defining issue in enterprise AI, and calls context graphs the essential infrastructure for AI agents, naming Atlan one of three vendors already building it. We are also the only vendor named a Leader across all four major Gartner and Forrester evaluations for data catalogs, data governance and metadata management, the foundation the context layer runs on.
Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.
The Opportunity
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.
What will you do? 🤔
Build the AI-ready context foundation
Lead the engineering charter to design and evolve an AI-ready context store across structured, unstructured, vector, and graph systems. This platform powers apps, agents, and enterprise workflows on top of trusted data.
Own core platform primitives
Drive end-to-end delivery of complex platform capabilities, including:
High-scale ingestion and validation frameworks
Contract-driven routing, storage, and serving layers
Multi-tenant isolation and noisy-neighbor resilience
Search APIs with sub-second P95 response times
Systems operating at 99.99% availability
You’ll simplify ambiguous problems, define clear technical direction, and ensure teams ship durable, high-leverage infrastructure.
Lead from the front
Engage deeply in architecture and systems design. Guide distributed systems tradeoffs, review RFCs, unblock critical issues, and participate meaningfully in technical decisions. This role requires technical depth, not just coordination.
Scale teams and operational excellence
Build and mentor high-performing engineers. Define engineering metrics, on-call practices, SLO discipline, and incident processes. Strengthen the operational engine behind a platform serving 100K+ users and billions of assets.
What makes you a great match for us? 😍
Experience building data or platform primitives at scale
