Data Engineering Manager

If you're equally passionate about nurturing talent and building cutting-edge data platforms, you could be the Data Engineering Manager that we’re looking for! Our organization is committed to fostering a world-class, data-driven culture, and a key component of this endeavor is a high-performance platform that empowers our embedded analysts and fuels our engineered systems with timely and accurate data.

As the Data Engineering Manager, you will not only oversee and guide a team of data engineers, but also actively contribute by working on our cloud-native data platform. Your responsibilities will involve processing vast volumes of data to support both machine-driven and human-driven decision-making processes.

What you’ll be doing (Role responsibilities)

Our data platform acts as a central nexus to connect various data producers with consumers across the company. Our customers are:

• Engineering teams across the company that produce or consume data that need to be combined with other data sources, and
• Data analysts and scientists working on stream-aligned projects across the company

As a Data Engineering Manager, you will:

• Be a people-manager for a team of data engineers and analytics engineers, including 
• Coaching your team members in executing their tasks
• Clearing technical and organizational blockers for them, and 
• Mentoring them on their own career goals and skill development
• Contribute to the hiring process and onboarding of your new team members to ensure they can hit the ground running.

As a senior team member in the Data Engineering Team, you will:

• Architect, build, and maintain a data platform that enables engineers and analysts across the company to ingest, anonymize, and enrich data
• Use your analytics engineering skills to deliver quality, timely, and fit-for-purpose analytical datasets that power downstream applications and decision making
• Liaise with our internal customers to understand their needs and convert them to technical requirements
• Leverage your high-level overview to proactively mitigate risks and expediently resolve blockers 
• Provide tools, training, and coordination to stakeholders across the organization

Role requirements

We seek candidates with most, or at least some, of the following skills and experience:

• 5+ years’ experience in data engineering / analytics engineering, with at least 2 years of experience leading and managing a team of at least two people. This includes conducting performance reviews, conducting regular 1:1 meetings, providing mentorship, and creating career development plans.
• Strong experience in analytics engineering, including designing, implementing, and maintaining data models for large-scale data warehouses.
• Strong experience with SQL, Python, and hand-on experience with business intelligence tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
• Proven track record designing and constructing robust and testable data pipelines. Hands-on experience building and operating data applications within cloud environments, particularly AWS.
• Strong knowledge and adherence to software engineering best practices, including version control systems and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to effectively convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

Some nice-to-haves are:

• Experience with tools like Apache Airflow and dbt for managing and orchestrating data workflows efficiently.
• Experience in infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform.
• Understanding of data privacy and security and how they are implemented in engineering systems.
