Capture & Harvesting Manager

Key details

Full job description

Samba is hiring a senior engineering manager to lead the Harvesting team responsible for ads-harvesting pipelines and related products. The role involves managing a small team of engineers (currently 3, growing to 10), mentoring, reviewing system designs, resolving technical issues, and representing the team in cross-functional collaborations. Candidates must have real engineering management experience, strong technical skills to independently review and make design decisions, and be comfortable mentoring engineers and handling technical conflicts. Bonus experience includes video, TV, or ad-tech data, high-volume streaming or content fingerprinting systems, applied AI/ML in production, and vendor vs in-house build decision-making. The position is full-time, on-site in Warsaw, Poland, and requires hands-on technical involvement rather than just administrative management.
