Job Description

Job Summary

We are hiring a Lead Data Engineer to drive delivery across our analytics and data platform initiatives. This role is a hands-on technical lead responsible for translating well-defined engineering specifications into executable work, coordinating a small team of contractors, and ensuring consistent, high-quality progress. You will partner closely with an Engineering Manager who owns architectural direction and high-level specifications. Your focus will be execution leadership: refining specifications into agile workloads, assigning work intelligently, contributing directly to complex implementations, and clearly communicating progress, risks, and clarity needs. 

What You'll Do:

  • Lead a small delivery team and act as a player-coach by owning the most complex data transformations and modeling work, while reviewing and guiding contractor contributions.
  • Keep work unblocked, well-scoped, and on track to ensure consistent delivery of momentum.
  • Continue building and refining analytics foundations driven by Gold-layer data models.
  • Design and implement Medallion architecture transformations (Bronze → Silver → Gold).
  • Ensure Gold-layer outputs are well-modeled, performant, and consistently consumable by an external analytics engine.
  • Improve the reliability, clarity, and maintainability of existing pipelines.
  • Partner with the Engineering Manager to execute an approved Data Warehouse Unification Plan RFC.
  • Plan and deliver sprint-based execution, with execution as the primary focus given the RFC is already defined.
  • Work across multiple Databricks instances as part of a GDPR-first data strategy.
  • Surface execution risks, sequencing concerns, and dependencies early to support successful delivery.
  • Translate engineering specifications into clear, scoped tickets, logical sprint plans, and well-sequenced workstreams.
  • Assign work appropriately across contractors based on skill level and complexity.
  • Implement complex Spark and Databricks transformations directly as needed.
  • Review pull requests and uphold quality standards across all delivered work.
  • Communicate progress, blockers, and clarity needs clearly and proactively with stakeholders.
  • Maintain delivery momentum without unnecessary process overhead.

What We Need:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Databricks, PySpark, and Spark SQL
  • Proven experience implementing Medallion architecture
  • Solid data modeling skills, especially for analytics and reporting use cases
  • Experience leading delivery for small engineering teams (formal management not required)
  • Comfort working with partially defined requirements and refining them collaboratively
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills in a remote environment
    Nice to Have:
  • Experience supporting GDPR-compliant data strategies
  • Exposure to multi-region or multi-tenant data platforms
  • Familiarity with external analytics tools consuming warehouse data
  • Familiarity with various data flows, with sources in Azure, AWS, GCP, and others
