Engineering Manager – Foundational Data Systems for AI

Location: Mountain View, CA (in-office, 5 days a week)
Team: Foundational Data Systems

Role Overview

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to spearhead Granica's Foundational Data Systems—the essential infrastructure layer upon which all other systems rely.

You will oversee a globally distributed team of approximately 15-20 senior engineers based in the US, India, and Canada, with direct accountability for long-lived systems encompassing storage, metadata, and distributed computing. This role transcends traditional people management; it is a hands-on leadership position with significant architectural influence, responsible for crafting systems that must be accurate, durable, and efficient at an enterprise scale.

The systems developed by this team are pivotal in determining Granica’s ability to convert cutting-edge research into dependable products, ensuring our customers trust the data foundations that their analytical and AI workloads rely upon.

This position is perfect for a technically adept leader who is passionate about team building, designing long-lasting systems, and operating with high levels of trust and ownership.

Why This Role Matters

Contemporary AI and analytics systems face constraints not from models, but from the inefficiency and fragility of the underlying data infrastructure. Redundant data layouts, fragile metadata, and costly execution paths lead to increased expenses, slower iterations, and operational risks.

Granica’s mission is to eliminate these inefficiencies at the foundational level.

We engineer self-optimizing data systems that perpetually reorganize, compress, and manage structured data to remain efficient, reliable, and reversible as it evolves. These systems act as a resilient substrate for analytics, automation, and AI workloads—where accuracy, provenance, and governance are paramount.

About Granica

Granica is a visionary company at the forefront of AI research and infrastructure, focused on ensuring that enterprise data is reliable, efficient, and easy to navigate.
