• Experience with modern data stack tools like dbt, Snowflake, Github and AWS.
• Knowledge of data governance, security, and compliance standards.
• Familiarity with data contracts, data mesh principles, and domain-driven data modeling.
• Experience with CI/CD for data pipelines and best practices for observability and monitoring.
• Prior experience as an engineering manager or tech lead with a track record of growing high-performing teams.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills—ability to work with engineering, data science, analytics, and business teams.
• Experience in driving adoption of self-service platforms and improving the developer experience.
• Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to align technical execution with business priorities.
• Experience working in a data mesh or distributed data ownership model.
• Previous experience with data platform engineering in a lead generation, financial, or enterprise-scale environment.

• Provide technical direction for data engineering best practices, including data modeling, data contracts, governance, security, and compliance.
• Ensure that the EQ data platform is scalable, cost-efficient, and user-friendly for engineering and analytics teams.
• Drive adoption of self-service tooling for data discovery, lineage tracking, and data quality monitoring.
• Partner with Platform Engineering to integrate cloud infrastructure, CI/CD practices, and observability into data workflows.
• Collaborate with DS and analytics teams to ensure a seamless pipeline from raw data to production-ready models and insights.
• Lead and grow a team of high-performing data engineers, fostering a strong culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Provide mentorship and coaching to help engineers advance their careers and technical skills.
• Foster a strong DevOps and engineering culture, with a focus on automation, developer experience, and self-service capabilities.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with cross-functional stakeholders, advocating for the right balance between innovation, delivery, and operational stability.
• Work closely with product management and leadership to define team roadmaps, priorities, and key outcomes, aligning them with business objectives.

What Success Looks Like:
