The Technical Lead for Data Warehouse & Data Integration, will be at the center of our data engineering transformation, leading a globally distributed team, working closely with business and technical stakeholders, and helping us evolve from legacy tools toward a modern, cloud-enabled data stack.

  • Data Quality, Cleansing, and Architecture :

  • Establish and enforce clean data architecture principles and practices for all pipeline development.
  • Take ownership of data validation, cleansing, and transformation standards, especially where tools are currently lacking.
  • Bring in practical experience or advocate for frameworks (e.g., Great Expectations, or custom tooling) to elevate data reliability and observability.
  • Cross Functional Collaboration :

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Owners, Architects, Developers, Analysts, and Business Leaders to ensure that data delivery aligns with business needs.
  • Act as a key liaison to stakeholders, representing the technical roadmap, delivery plans, and status updates.
  • Partner with peers such as the Sr. BI Developer and Lead DBA to ensure alignment across reporting, infrastructure, and data modeling.
  • Modernization & Innovation :

  • Be a driving force in modernizing our DW / ETL stack-championing new tools, clean architecture, and cloud-first principles.
  • Contribute to evaluation and implementation of platforms like Fabric, Azure Synapse, Redshift, Terraform, as appropriate.
  • Explore and implement AI-enabled tooling or automation to improve data engineering velocity, testing, and monitoring.
