Job Level
About the role
- Lead a small team of senior data engineers—breaking down ambiguous problems, removing blockers, and keeping engineers aligned on standards without micromanaging execution
- Serve as the initial client-facing voice of the team, translating client needs into scalable solutions and supporting conversations around data access, architecture, and governance
- Drive AI-powered development adoption across the team—tools like Claude or similar—to automate workflows, build agents, and improve efficiency while maintaining quality and architectural integrity
- Partner with leadership to evaluate AI tools and platforms, including due diligence, testing, and ROI assessment
- Guide data pipeline and platform architecture with an eye toward long-term scalability, not short-term fixes
- Conduct code and pull request reviews to reinforce standards, quality, and consistency
- Work cross-functionally to unblock data access, standardize data models, and align on a common data language
- Translate strategy into clear execution plans—sequenced, resourced, and aligned to business priorities
- Make and communicate tradeoff decisions on priorities, timelines, and architecture, surfacing risks and implications for leadership
- Coach team members on how work is done, not just what gets delivered
Requirements
- 6–8+ years of experience delivering production systems or data solutions across domains such as data engineering, software engineering, analytics, infrastructure, or enterprise systems
- 2–4+ years in people leadership or equivalent, with a track record of leading high-performing technical teams
- Strong ability to make prioritization, sequencing, and resourcing decisions in environments with real complexity and ambiguity
- Proven ability to operate as a systems-level thinker—guiding architecture, connecting cross-domain solutions, and ensuring systems integrate and scale effectively
- Experience managing complex dependencies across teams, systems, and technical domains
- Strong communication and alignment skills across both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership
- Hands-on experience using AI-powered development tools—Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or similar—to build or ship something real, whether in a professional or personal context, and the ability to bring that experience to a team
