Engineering Manager, Data. We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Behavioural Data Engineering (BDE) team within ITV’s streaming technology organisation. As our Engineering Manager, you will lead a high-performing team of DevOps and Data Engineers within the Viewer Data Homezone. This isn't a traditional feature-delivery role; it is a Technical Orchestration role focused on building a resilient, code-first operational platform, developing and growing the team that builds it too. You won't necessarily be writing the code, but you will be responsible for the 'Logic Flow' of the systems your team builds. You will interpret roadmaps, navigate resource challenges, and act as the Guardian of Excellence, ensuring our data pipelines are as resilient as they are scalable, documented, and meet the highest non-functional standards.
Job Responsibility:
Oversee the training, development, and motivation of your squad
Partner with the Delivery Manager to refine team processes, from backlog grooming to sprint reviews, ensuring a high-velocity, low-friction engineering environment
Collaborate with Product Managers to navigate the decommissioning of legacy analytical services, shifting the focus toward a modern, real-time 'shift-left' data capability
Manage the end-to-end delivery of real-time data products, ensuring technical designs meet functional and non-functional requirements (SLAs, high-availability, and cost-efficiency)
Lead the team in building services capable of handling extreme traffic spikes (doubling every 30 seconds)
Represent the BDE team in 'Show and Tells' and cross-departmental forums, explaining complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Ensure all behavioural data collection and processing aligns with GDPR and other legal frameworks
Requirements:
Proven experience managing engineering teams that handle high-throughput, real-time data ingestion
Deep experience with the GCP stack (including Kubernetes) and a strong 'infrastructure as code' mindset
While you don't need to be an expert in all, you should be comfortable challenging designs and reviewing logic across Python & Go, with Scala, and Java as useful secondaries
Ability to lead system design discussions, focusing on how modular components (Terraform/Lego blocks) fit together to build resilient platforms
Experience in managing complex transitions between active and in development services
A solid understanding of GDPR and the legal implications of handling user behavioural data at scale
Nice to have:
Demonstrable experience recruiting and developing individuals into a cohesive and capable team
Experience with 'Edge' compute or shifting data capabilities closer to the end-user
Familiarity with real-time data-driven ML/AI implementations
Previous experience in the media or streaming industry (understanding the 'Broadcast' mindset)
Background in both DevOps and Data Engineering disciplines
What we offer:
Flexible working with a range of options
Generous holiday allowance, plus you can buy more
Annual bonus opportunity
Competitive pension contribution
Save as you earn - with an opportunity to buy ITV shares
Wellbeing and volunteering days plus a wide range of opportunities to help you live a balanced and healthy life
