About the Role:
Planet is looking for a Software Engineering Manager with a proven background in hiring, mentoring, and leading high-functioning engineering teams. In this role, you will lead the engineering team that owns large scale compute processing systems that supports imagery transformation and delivery. These systems are primarily responsible for backing external customer access to the data products we create from the continuous flow of satellite imagery. Our infrastructure services span thousands of nodes and process terabytes of imagery data every day. You will ensure our infrastructure is highly reliable, secure, and scalable, and meets internal stakeholder needs.
This is very much a “servant leadership” role, with a high emphasis on enabling your team members to do their best work in an environment that sets them up for success. In particular, you’ll ensure engineers are unblocked on dependencies, take the lead in defining the “what” and “why” of the team’s work, and organize that work in a way that best aligns with organizational and team practices. This role is deeply cross-functional, and building positive relationships across Product, Software Engineering, and Space Systems will be crucial to your success.
As part of the Infrastructure & Enablement leadership team, you will work with your team and peers to build and execute a strategy that enables Planet’s mission with our core shared compute infrastructure built on Kubernetes and public clouds. This will include things like capacity planning, scalability, observability, and orchestration with supported and managed platform tooling. You will also support internal customers that run image processing, analytics, and delivery operations on our compute services.
This is a full-time, remote position based in the United States or Canada.
Impact You'll Own:
Collaborate across the engineering organization to align efforts, keep engineers unblocked, and ensure delivery of services/features/products
Foster a culture of innovation and customer service within the team and the organization you support
Evangelize the set of services your team owns across the engineering organizations in order to drive adoption of the architecture where required
Ensure that the team is utilizing best practices for software development, testing, and deployment
Contribute to the evolution of a computing infrastructure strategy that aligns with and supports Planet’s North Star and product strategy
Own team roadmap strategy and execution against the roadmap priorities
What You Bring:
4-6 years of relevant work experience, with 2+ years of supervisory or leadership experience
Ability to build, retain, and grow diverse, geographically dispersed, high-performing teams
Experience with managing teams that own and operate high-volume, highly available, scalable, distributed systems
Experience building infrastructure/tooling at scale that gains widespread adoption
Experience with growing team members through career development coaching, technical or non-technical mentoring, and creating an open and healthy team culture
Proven asynchronous communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally with partner Engineering and Product teams
Demonstrated experience with driving large scale initiatives that require communication and coordination across multiple departments
Experience working with various Agile methodologies and project management frameworks
What Makes You Stand Out:
Deep experience leading a team that specializes in large scale computing systems
Experience in geospatial or satellite imagery domains
