A Bit About Us

We are looking for a people-first Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Data Engineering team. In this role, your primary focus will be building careers, removing obstacles, and enabling a culture where engineers thrive.

You'll work in close partnership with a seasoned technical lead responsible for architectural decisions — freeing you to focus on developing people, aligning strategy, and driving team performance.

This is a great opportunity for a strong people manager who understands data engineering and is passionate about building and leading high-performing teams in a mission-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and retain a high-performing team of 5–7 data engineers
  • Conduct regular 1 1s, performance reviews, and career development planning
  • Create and communicate growth paths and development opportunities
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, learning, and operational excellence
  • Manage hiring, onboarding, and team composition
  • Identify and remove roadblocks, shielding the team from unnecessary distractions
  • Proactively address team dynamics and resolve conflicts constructively

Technical Partnership

  • Collaborate with the technical lead to ensure architectural decisions align with strategy and scalability goals
  • Stay informed on emerging data engineering trends and assess their relevance
  • Promote high standards for code quality, design, and operational practices
  • Help balance technical trade-offs with business needs and priorities

    • Delivery & Process Management

  • Partner with Product Managers to ensure engineering commitments are realistic and achievable
  • Lead incident response efforts and coordinate blameless post-mortems
  • Maintain adherence to engineering standards and Agile processes
  • Monitor team health, velocity, and delivery risks
  • Facilitate sprint ceremonies, retrospectives, and cross-team coordination

    • Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 7+ years in engineering with 5+ years in people management
  • Proven experience building and scaling engineering teams
  • Solid understanding of data engineering concepts (e.g., pipelines, data models)
  • Agile / Scrum leadership experience
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to bridge technical and business discussions
  • History of developing engineering talent and fostering career progression
  • High emotional intelligence and conflict resolution abilities
  • Technical Familiarity (You Understand, Not Implement)
  • Big data tools (e.g., Spark, EMR, data pipelines)
  • Cloud infrastructure and cost management
  • Technical risk assessment and critical questioning skills

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in data-first or analytics-driven organizations
  • Proven success improving retention and team satisfaction
  • Experience scaling teams from ~5 to 10+ engineers
  • Background in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments
  • Strong track record partnering effectively with technical leads
