Job description

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Data Engineering to lead and grow our data engineering team while staying close enough to the technical work to guide architecture and unblock the team. You'll own the roadmap and delivery for our data ingestion and pipeline infrastructure — from raw ingestion of heterogeneous sources through staging and curated layers — and be accountable for the people, priorities, and technical direction that make that work possible. You'll partner closely with data modeling, analytics, and product leadership to make sure the team is solving the right problems.
