About the role

The Automation & Integrations team provides the backbone of Coalition’s Security product offerings by building the platform upon which customers safely and conveniently connect Coalition to their internal data.  This role is at the intersection of data engineering, product, security and partnerships. You will lead a team of talented and driven engineers responsible for building and maintaining robust, scalable, and reliable data integrations, primarily in Go running on AWS. Your work will directly enable our product teams to build new features and create value for our customers by providing a single, consistent source of truth for external data.  
Additionally, you will work closely with our Incident Response teams to automate and streamline their processes by helping to define bottlenecks and build replacements for manual processes that slow down our ability to scale our Security business.
This is a high-impact role that requires a blend of technical expertise, people management skills, and strategic thinking. You'll work closely with stakeholders to define requirements, define platform architecture, and ensure our platform remains agile and performant.

• Manage 3rd Party API Partners: Act as the primary technical point of contact for our third-party data providers, ensuring that integrations meet both our technical requirements and our providers' capabilities.
• Collaborate with Stakeholders: Work closely with product managers to translate business needs and feature requirements into technical specs. Partner with our security and legal teams to ensure all data handling is compliant with industry regulations.

• Cloud & Infrastructure: Experience building distributed systems in a cloud environment.
