The posting

Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.

Jaya, our CTO, has nine people reporting straight to her in Platforms and zero managers underneath. That's the gap.

Platforms is Samba's shared-services org - infra, cloud, and data platforms - built for the transformation the company's mid-way through: converting exciting semi-monolithic applications into completely new architecture supporting agentic solutions.

Nobody else owns this. Every product team builds on what Platforms ships.

Sneak peek: in the next six months this splits further. You'd start as frontline manager for the Sama Data Platform and Cloud team. Once Platforms hires its VP, the org resettles around two managers and two architects reporting in above you, across what's becoming a 16-18 person department.

What you'd actually do

What you need to already be good at

  • Technical enough to pass our architecture challenge - we're not asking for architect-level depth, but you need to be credible in the room, not just managing it.
  • AWS, but we also have our own data center, and GCP
  • Kubernetes
  • Terraform and Python
  • Comfortable owning a roadmap and making technical calls, not just running standups.
  • A real communicator - this job is cross-team persuasion as much as it is management.
  • You want the roadmap handed to you - there isn't one yet, you're building it
  • You need to be a "professional manager" who doesn't get hands-on. Our CTO own words: "we're too small to just have professional managers"
  • You get defensive instead of curious when 80 people are telling you your infrastructure isn't working for them

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
