Senior Manager, Data Engineering

• Build and grow the team: Hire, onboard, coach and develop Data Engineers, with a focus on early-career talent. You’ll also own performance management and career growth.
• Set the bar: Define and enforce engineering standards for pipelines, data modeling, testing, CI/CD, observability and code review.
• Treat data as a product: Own the backlog and delivery plan, and prioritize with business and analytics partners around clear users and outcomes.
• Run strong Agile delivery: Lead sprint planning, refinement, estimation and retros in Jira, Confluence and the Atlassian ecosystem. Use delivery metrics to improve predictability and give stakeholders clear visibility.
• Stay hands-on: Design and build scalable pipelines, models and warehouse structures with AWS, Snowflake, dbt and Fivetran, and take on the hardest technical problems yourself.
• Power the business: Own the backend data foundation behind dashboards, reporting, self-service analytics in Sigma Computing, and data science, and optimize it for speed, reliability, cost and maintainability.
• Lead the AI shift in engineering: Build practical workflows and guardrails for Claude Code and Kiro, coach engineers, and measure the impact on productivity and quality.
• Ship AI-enabled data solutions: Build on AWS Amazon Bedrock and Snowflake Cortex (AI functions, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, Cortex Code) with strong guardrails for privacy, security, access, cost and human review.
• Partner across the business: Work with analysts, product owners and stakeholders to define KPIs and turn them into scalable data products.
• Keep it reliable: Drive data quality, documentation, monitoring, incident response and cost management across Snowflake and AWS., * Modern data and analytics engineering: CI/CD, testing, orchestration, infrastructure as code and observability
• Agentic and AI-assisted development: prompt and context design, spec-driven development, and review practices that keep AI-generated code secure and maintainable
• Generative AI on AWS and Snowflake: Bedrock (foundation models, knowledge bases, agents, guardrails) and Cortex (AI functions, Analyst, Search, Cortex Code)
• Data modeling, semantic layer design, data governance, quality, security and privacy
• Ad tech knowledge: identity management, data privacy, audience targeting, cross-device graphs, ad serving, analytics, DSP, DMP, SSP, QA and targeting

How You Lead

• You develop and keep strong engineering talent, coach early-career engineers, and give clear, candid feedback.
• You align technical and business stakeholders on priorities and trade-offs.
• You can explain complex concepts to non-technical audiences.
• You have a product mindset, business sense, and the judgment to separate AI hype from real value.

• 8+ years designing and implementing modern data warehouse and data engineering solutions, with advanced SQL, Python and robust ETL/ELT pipelines
• 3+ years leading or managing data engineers while staying hands-on in architecture and code
• *Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Snowflake, dbt and Fivetran, including data modeling in Snowflake and transformation workflows in dbt
• A track record of running Agile delivery and applying product management practices (roadmaps, prioritization, outcome-based planning) to data work
• Expert-level knowledge of Jira, Confluence and the Atlassian suite, including boards, workflows, dashboards and automation
• Demonstrated, hands-on fluency with AI-assisted coding tools such as Claude Code and Kiro, with real examples of delivering faster without sacrificing quality or security
• Working experience with AWS Amazon Bedrock and Snowflake Cortex (including Cortex Code) to build or enable generative AI solutions
• Familiarity with BI and self-service platforms, ideally Sigma Computing (Tableau and/or Power BI a plus), enough to guide data models and semantic layers that support reporting, Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science or equivalent experience preferred.
