A bit about us:

We're looking for a hands-on Data & AI Engineering Manager to lead a small, highly technical engineering team while helping shape the future of our data platform. This is a player/coach role where you'll split your time between technical leadership, architecture, and mentoring a distributed team of engineers in the U.S. and India.

If you enjoy solving complex data challenges, building scalable platforms, and leading engineers without losing touch with the technology, we'd love to talk.

Why join us?

In addition to great benefits and very generous PTO, you will

  • Shape the future of the company's data platform by designing the architecture and technology roadmap—not just maintaining existing systems.
  • Drive AI initiatives by building the scalable data infrastructure that enables advanced analytics and artificial intelligence across the business.
  • Stay hands-on technically while leading a small team, balancing architecture, problem-solving, and people leadership.
  • Own key technology decisions, including Microsoft Fabric adoption, data architecture, governance, and platform scalability.
  • Lead with impact by mentoring a small team helping them grow while delivering meaningful business outcomes.
  • Partner directly with business leaders to solve real-world challenges and turn business needs into modern data solutions.
  • Modernize and innovate by improving data pipelines, implementing best practices, and introducing new technologies that drive efficiency and reliability.
  • Make a visible difference with work that directly supports reporting, business intelligence, and enterprise AI initiatives.
  • Join at an exciting stage where you'll help build the next generation of the company's data platform rather than simply inheriting a mature environment.
  • Job Details
  • Lead and mentor a team of 2-4 Data Engineers, providing technical guidance, coaching, and day-to-day leadership.
  • Design and evolve the company's enterprise data architecture, ensuring it is scalable, secure, and built for long-term growth.
  • Build and optimize modern data pipelines that move data reliably across multiple business systems.
  • Drive the organization's migration and adoption of Microsoft Fabric while improving existing Azure-based data solutions.
  • Partner closely with AI engineers and business leaders to deliver the data infrastructure needed for analytics and AI initiatives.
  • Establish engineering standards, best practices, and governance around data quality, modeling, documentation, and deployment.
  • Make architectural decisions around data modeling, medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold), semantic models, and platform scalability.
  • Lead sprint planning, project execution, and delivery using Azure DevOps while balancing multiple priorities.
  • Work directly with business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into practical technical solutions.
  • Identify opportunities to improve performance, reliability, automation, and operational efficiency across the data platform.
  • What We're Looking For
  • Experience leading Data Engineering teams in a technical management or lead capacity.
  • Strong hands-on experience building modern data platforms in Azure.
  • Experience with Microsoft Fabric or similar cloud-based analytics platforms.
  • Deep understanding of data architecture, data warehousing, ETL/ELT pipelines, and dimensional modeling.
  • Experience with SQL and modern data engineering technologies.
  • Knowledge of medallion architecture, semantic modeling, and enterprise data governance.
  • Experience using Azure DevOps or similar Agile project management tools.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
  • Comfortable balancing strategic planning with hands-on technical problem solving.
