Your Job

As an Engineering Manager with a hands‑on mindset, you will lead a cross‑functional team of data and software engineers responsible for Statista's Data and Content Delivery domain — a key enabler of the existing Statista web platform and the growing Data-as-a-Service business. In close collaboration with a Product Manager, you'll be responsible for the single source of truth of Statista's data treasure and implement use cases of other engineering teams and data engineers. Together, you’ll shape the roadmap, empower the team, and deliver high-quality, scalable, and cost-efficient solutions.

What you’ll do:

• Lead a team of senior data, infrastructure and backend engineers — creating a supportive environment where people can grow and do their best work
• Collaborate closely with Product and Data Production to define and deliver on a clear vision and roadmap
• Support the team in architectural and technical decision-making, while not being expected to contribute code regularly
• Drive engineering excellence and accountability for the stability, performance, and maintainability of the systems you own
