About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the data platform end-to-end — the dbt project (staging → intermediates → marts), CI/CD, and the Snowflake infrastructure it runs on.
Design and lead the onboarding of new data sources onto the platform as TTG scales.
Partner with data consumers — product, growth, finance, CX, and incoming portfolio teams — to model new sources cleanly.
Run intake and prioritization across a high-demand roadmap.
Protect data quality systematically — dbt tests, contract-enforced schemas.
Set technical direction for the warehouse and give code review that makes data engineers better.
Lead and grow the team — 1:1s, feedback, and career development.
Build the factory, not just the models: keep pushing AI into how the team works.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A track record of leading engineers.
8+ years in data engineering (or software engineering with a heavy data bent), including leading a team — formally or informally — and growing the engineers around you.

Hands-on experience with Snowflake or a comparable MPP warehouse (Redshift, BigQuery).
Experience scaling a data platform through growth.
Full-stack data platform judgment.
