• As a Director of Data Engineering at Livefront, you will lead the data practice covering data engineering, data science, machine learning, and data analytics. • This is a billable role where you will employ a "lead by example" style of leadership. • In addition to client work, you will mentor, support, and manage the engineers reporting directly to you. • You will work with Livefront Client Partners and the rest of the Livefront team to create and refine the overall technical vision for our data engagements. • You will participate in technical discovery, advocate for Livefront's engineering philosophy and approach, choose the right technologies to solve the problem, and see projects through to completion. • You will collaborate with Livefront leadership to push everything we do forward across our three pillars, noted below. • Help shape the direction of an emerging data practice at Livefront. • Work with the data team to continually refine our architectures, platforms, and engineering standards and facilitate the adoption of those ideas across the team and our client projects. • Architect and oversee the design of scalable, secure, and performant data systems across a variety of cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and data platforms (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake). • Define our standards for data engineering, code reviews, testing, security, performance monitoring, and data governance, and ensure conformance with those standards across all our projects. • Plan, estimate, and execute data engineering initiatives for the organization and our client projects. • Ensure the security, privacy, and compliance of all data systems, pipelines, and products. • Roll up your sleeves and work directly in the codebase frequently. • Create architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, and other technical illustrations to enable effective communication regarding technical requirements.
