In my current role, I led a data strategy initiative that streamlined customer
onboarding from up to two weeks to under a week, while addressing platform
limitations to enable REST API frameworks and deliver new metrics. These
achievements enhanced both operational efficiency and business growth.
I’m now seeking opportunities aligned with my long-term goals in data
engineering leadership, where I can contribute to large-scale projects and
deliver impactful solutions. Meta’s values—moving fast, building for the long
term, and fostering respect—strongly resonate with me, making this an exciting
opportunity.

efficiency and drove business growth. Prior to this initiative, customer
onboarding used to take a week to two weeks, and we had platform limitations for
building REST API frameworks, unable to deliver new metrics.

I have been an engineering manager at my current company for 4 years and a total
of close to 7 years. During my time as an engineering manager at my current
company, I helped ICs grow and promoted several ICs including one to a tech
lead. Held a high bar for the team to maintain productivity. Also worked on
projects to support adding net new revenue streams and improve KPIs for the
company. The company provided me with a lot of opportunities to grow to where I
am today and I really appreciate that.
While I love my team and the company, after four years as an EM, my personal
growth has started slowing down.
I looked into why my personal growth has been slowing down and found one
standing out reason. The company is focusing on optimization over expansion.
This led teams to focus on improvements over new things in general which is
limiting pioneering new projects or expanding my managerial responsibilities.
I initially looked at what opportunities are available within the company but I
didn’t find anything where I thought it would provide me a growth opportunity.
Since my goal was to find a growth opportunity, I realized seeking new
challenges elsewhere might be the best next step for my professional
development. I am interested in roles that will provide me an opportunity to
learn new things, and potentially expand on my managerial responsibility long
term which would better align with my career growth and goals.

I am looking for an opportunity that enables me to learn and grow further, this
means that I am looking at a larger operating scale compared to my current work
place. I have previously worked at large scale operations and I have come to
understand that this motivates me because there is so much to learn and explore.

Im leaving my manager and not the role. It has been difficult to work with my
manager. I constantly work on improving the areas identified for growth and
learning, and have gained good knowledge about the company, commercial and
connecting the business, product and tech strategy. Although its not recommended
to speak about the current manager, it stays as a fact that the connection
between my manger an me is tarnished and the best option here would be to look
out for myself. My peers, and other executive members recognise my skills and
appreciative of my performance.
