The Reporting Experience squad owns all customer-facing reporting delivery surfaces at MNTN. The team is responsible for transforming complex analytics and performance data into fast, intuitive, and reliable experiences that help customers understand and optimize their Performance TV campaigns.

The squad operates at the intersection of Product, Design, Backend Reporting, and customer needs, with a mandate to reduce time-to-insight, improve usability, and ensure consistent, high-quality reporting experiences across all surfaces (UI and API).

We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead a team of frontend, API, and full-stack engineers responsible for MNTN’s customer-facing reporting UI and APIs. This is an engineering leadership role focused on building and operating high-throughput, low-latency reporting systems with real customer SLAs and heavy Technical Product Management collaboration.

The ideal candidate has strong experience leading customer-facing engineering teams, with hands-on familiarity across UI platforms and API systems. They bring a product-adjacent mindset, a bias toward fast iteration and clarity, and a strong understanding of performance, reliability, and API contracts in production environments.

This role carries meaningful ownership over customer experience, delivery velocity, and cross-team coordination. The manager is expected to partner closely with Technical Product Management and Backend Reporting to ensure new insights reach customers quickly, safely, and coherently.

What you'll do

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers responsible for MNTN’s reporting UI and reporting APIs.
• Own all last-mile reporting delivery surfaces, including:
• Customer-facing reporting UI and visualizations
• Public and internal reporting APIs
• Query orchestration, caching, and response shaping
• Drive the design and evolution of reporting APIs that are intuitive, stable, and performant, with clear contracts and versioning strategies.
• Ensure consistency, usability, and clarity across reporting experiences, balancing speed of delivery with long-term maintainability.
• Optimize UI and API performance, including latency, caching strategies, and perceived responsiveness.
• Establish and monitor customer-facing SLAs for availability, latency, and experience quality.
• Translate customer and product requirements into clear technical plans and executable milestones.
• Instrument usage patterns and engagement metrics to inform prioritization and product iteration.
• Partner closely with Backend Reporting Engineering to:
• Surface new metrics and insights quickly
• Align on data availability, freshness, and tradeoffs
• Prevent downstream instability or contract churn
• Represent the Reporting Experience squad in cross-functional forums, clearly communicating status, risks, and delivery tradeoffs.
• Set a high bar for engineering quality, operational readiness, and production ownership across UI and API systems.

What success looks like

• Reduced customer time-to-insight.
• Consistently low UI and API latency (P95/P99).<
