• Partner cross-functionally with Data Science, Product, and Engineering teams to develop high-impact data products and pipelines.

• Drive data engineering best practices across the org—code quality, documentation, testing, observability, and reproducibility.

• Stay close to the work by reviewing code, guiding architectural decisions, and occasionally rolling up your sleeves to code when needed.

• Champion platform scalability by designing systems that handle large volumes of structured and unstructured data with resilience and speed.

• Understand business and operational problems that new tools (Dagster, dbt, etc.) and technology that would improve automation, performance, and data engineering workflows.

• Ensure data reliability and performance by monitoring data pipelines, addressing data quality issues, and driving continuous improvement initiatives.

• Mentor team members and foster technical growth across the group through thoughtful feedback, knowledge sharing, and career coaching.

• Collaborate on strategic planning with leadership—aligning data engineering goals with business objectives.

• Cross team collaboration to share ideas and best practices across teams

What we’re looking for: 

• 5+ years of experience in data or software engineering, including at least 1–2 years in a people management or team lead role.

• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python—you know when to optimize a query and when to refactor a script.

• Experience designing and supporting modern cloud data platforms (Snowflake, AWS, etc.).

• Deep understanding of ETL architecture, data modeling, and distributed systems.

• Hands-on experience with tools like Dagster, dbt, or similar orchestration/modeling frameworks.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and modern DevOps practices.

• Excellent communication skills—able to bridge technical and non-technical audiences, and to advocate effectively for your team.

• Comfort working in fast-paced, agile environments where priorities may shift and growth is constant.

• Bonus points for experience in healthcare or finance domains, or exposure to machine learning workflows.
