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.
Job Responsibility:

Technical Orchestration: Manage the end-to-end delivery of real-time data products
Operational Reliability: Lead the team in building services capable of handling extreme traffic spikes
Advocacy & Communication: Represent the BDE team in 'Show and Tells' and cross-departmental forums
Privacy & Compliance: 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
Comfortable challenging designs and reviewing logic across Python & Go, with Scala, and Java as useful secondaries
Ability to lead system design discussions
Experience in managing complex transitions between active and in development services
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
Background in both DevOps and Data Engineering disciplines

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
