At Tecton, we are on a mission to bring Machine Learning to every customer and product interaction on the planet. We build an enterprise-grade, world-class Feature Platform â€“ the infrastructure that powers real-time ML applications and systems in production.

Tecton’s founders developed the first Feature Store when they created Uber’s Michelangelo ML platform, and we’re now bringing those same capabilities to every organization in the world.

Tecton is funded by Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Kleiner Perkins, along with strategic investments from Snowflake and Databricks. We have a fast-growing team that’s distributed around the world, with offices in San Francisco and New York City. Our team has years of experience building and operating business-critical machine learning systems at leading tech companies like Uber, Google, Meta, Airbnb, Lyft, and Twitter.

As an Engineering Manager on our Compute team, you will play a critical role in shaping the team’s strategic direction and implementation of Tecton’s core compute foundation, which includes our native compute engine, Rift, and deep integrations with platforms such as Spark and Snowflake. Think of it as the “beating heart” of Tecton. Your leadership and technical expertise will directly influence Tecton’s storage and compute architecture. This role is a unique opportunity that combines customer-obsessed product focus with platform and data engineering innovation. You’ll partner with Product, Design, and Marketing, and Field teams to define the roadmap that helps companies ranging from Fortune 100s to startups accelerate their path to real-time AI.
