Lightspeed is growing at a fast pace and we’re looking for a Team Lead to join our Data Engineering practice within the NuORDER data product team. This role is ideal for someone who has started their leadership journey - through mentorship, technical ownership, or informal people leadership - and is ready to step into a role where they set direction, build a roadmap, and grow a team, while still staying hands-on as an engineer.
You are inspired by generating value through data and by helping others do the same. As a leading member of this team, you will be responsible not only for building high-quality data systems, but also for shaping how we build them, what we prioritize, and how the team grows.
Note: As a global company with employees and clients outside of Quebec, fluency in English as a working language is required for this position.
As a Data Engineering Team Lead, you will shape the product team’s data infrastructure and the team that builds it. You will own the technical roadmap for data engineering, ensure strong delivery, and act as a multiplier for the people around you.
You will still be a hands-on senior data engineer, designing scalable data pipelines, robust data models, and efficient transformations, but you will also provide technical leadership, mentorship, and prioritization across the team.
You will work closely with analytics engineers, data scientists, product managers, and software engineering leaders to ensure our data platform evolves in line with Lightspeed’s business and product needs.
