About the Role:
Planet is looking for an 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 continuous feed of imagery we receive from the satellites. 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 \xe2\x80\x9cservant leadership\xe2\x80\x9d 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 \xe2\x80\x9cwhat\xe2\x80\x9d and \xe2\x80\x9cwhy\xe2\x80\x9d of the team\'s work, and organize that work in a way that best aligns with organizational and team practices.
As part of the Infrastructure 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 GCP. This will include things like capacity planning, scalability, observability, and orchestration with tools such as Kubernetes and CI/CD tooling. You will also support internal customers that run image processing and delivery operations on our compute services.
This role is deeply cross-functional, and building positive relationships across Product, Software Engineering, and Space Systems will be crucial to your success.
