About the role
We are looking for an Engineering Manager or experienced Team Lead with a strong Data Engineering background to lead and scale the teams building our high-reliability, secure, and linearly scalable Data direction.
This role is ideal for engineering leaders who combine strong technical expertise in data and platform engineering with people leadership and delivery ownership. Whether you are already an Engineering Manager or a hands-on Team Lead looking to expand your impact, you will play a key role in shaping teams, data architecture, and engineering culture.
You will lead the company’s transition toward an AI-first approach - ensuring fast, governed access to analytics and AI/ML models while maintaining strict financial and regulatory compliance. You will work at the intersection of data engineering, platform/infrastructure, and business, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, scalability, security, and data governance.

Partner closely with Product, Analytics, Data Science/ML, and Senior Engineering leadership to translate business and AI requirements into a scalable platform roadmap
•
Drive and evolve data engineering processes, including planning, estimation, CI/CD for data, testing and data quality, code reviews, and release management
•
Contribute to architectural decisions for data systems running on hybrid infrastructure (batch + streaming, lakehouse, and beyond)
•
Ensure high availability, performance, data reliability, and observability of production pipelines and platform services
•
Embed security, privacy, data lineage, and regulatory compliance into the platform by design
•
Identify and reduce technical and data debt while maintaining delivery velocity
