The Crown Is Yours
We're looking for a Data Engineering Manager who thrives at the intersection of technical leadership and people management.

You'll work closely with Technical Program Managers, Software Engineers, and Delivery Managers in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities shift and innovation never stops.
Success in this role requires a strong sense of ownership - you take accountability for outcomes, empower your team to do the same, and continuously look for ways to improve how we build and deliver data products

  • Drive and facilitate technical design discussions, offering strong verbal and written contributions.
  • Champion team health, fostering open communication, collaboration, and a strong sense of ownership.

What You'll Bring

  • 3+ years of technical management experience, including direct people management (career growth, coaching, performance reviews).
  • Strong background in Data Engineering with hands-on SQL experience across data ingestion, transformation, and delivery.
  • Strong experience with cloud data warehouse systems (such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery); Snowflake experience is a major plus.
  • Familiarity with tools such as Kafka, Airflow, Terraform, Python, and Datadog.
  • A leadership style that combines technical depth with strong mentorship and team-building skills.
