YOU WILL:
- Directly manage a team of 5-8 Data and Analytics Engineers.

- Grow the team by closing skill gaps and hiring where needed.
- Partner with analysts, sales, and project managers to onboard new clients so that they can quickly scale up their data sharing with dv01.
- Manage, prioritize, and execute on migrating dv01’s pipelines from Spark and Scala to dbt and BigQuery.

- Comfortable with agile project management – leading sprint planning and execution.
- Able to deal with ambiguity and changing priorities due to business needs and situational conditions.
- Experienced with mentoring and coaching engineers.
- Technically credible – this role does not involve writing large amounts of production code, but will require previous experience as an individual contributor to advocate for technical solutions to engineering and business teams.
- A servant leader – you empower those around you and help them grow and perform to the best of their abilities rather than micromanage.
- A skilled written and verbal communicator – you seek to understand others first, and be understood second, seeking feedback from others and influencing with persuasion instead of power or position.
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with Data Build Tool (dbt)
- Experience writing Scala code and executing data pipelines using Apache Spark
- Experienced with cloud infrastructure, especially Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
