Are you passionate about designing the foundational layer that defines how an entire platform ingests, governs, and accesses its data? Are you a problem-solver with a passion for delivering elegant abstraction layers that make complex, multi-system data access simple, observable, and fast? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy tackling technical challenges like federated SQL, cross-system query routing, and platform-wide adoption of modern data access standards? If so, we invite you to join our team.
The Data Frameworks team owns Ridgeline's data ecosystem end-to-end — the schema registry and data contracts that define what data means, the write paths that materialize it across our storage systems, the governance layer that enforces correctness on every read and write, and the query interface that every product, AI feature, and integration will pass through. When data needs to be defined, shaped, governed, or served at Ridgeline — it runs through us.
We're looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to become the technical foundation of the Data Frameworks team as it grows. You'll have broad influence over the query platform architecture — from how store adapters are designed, to how federated SQL is introduced at scale, to how we enforce access guardrails across every data system Ridgeline operates. You'll leverage AI tools to build best-in-class platform infrastructure, moving with the speed and safety that a foundational data layer demands.
At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions—not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture. If the Ridgeline Way excites you, we’d love to meet you.
You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.

Are you an engineering leader who cares deeply about how data is defined, governed, and made accessible at platform scale? Do you know how to hire and develop engineers with deep data systems expertise, engage credibly in architecture conversations, and create the conditions for your team to do their best work? Do you thrive on building organizations whose output becomes the foundation every product team depends on? If so, we'd love to talk.
As a Senior Engineering Manager at Ridgeline, you will lead the team responsible for Ridgeline's data access and semantics layer — the infrastructure that defines what data means, governs how it's written, and standardizes how it's read across the platform. This is high-leverage work: the contracts and access patterns your team establishes become the defaults every product team builds on. Your team's customers are product engineers writing application code — your output is the SDK and framework layer they depend on.
You will lead a team of engineers, supporting their growth and success while partnering with engineering staff and leadership across the organization, to drive data contract adoption, evolve the query interface into the universal data access layer, and build toward a federated query capability that spans the full persistence layer.
