Lead Data Engineer

Want to take ownership of an organization’s data foundation and shape its next generation of data infrastructure?

We’re looking for a Lead Data Engineer to lead the development and evolution of our enterprise data platform, drive a gradual migration to the cloud, and manage a team of Data Engineers and DBAs.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone with strong architectural thinking, deep experience in DWH and ETL/ELT, and the ability to lead complex engineering initiatives from strategy to production.


What will you do?

  • Lead the Data Engineering function, including direct management of Data Engineers and DBAs.
  • Own the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the enterprise DWH and data platform.
  • Lead complex ETL/ELT processes across existing Teradata and Informatica environments.
  • Manage data ingestion from complex source systems, including SAP and digital platforms.
  • Lead the gradual cloud migration, including architecture decisions, engineering standards, and best practices.
  • Design and evolve data architecture across Raw, Staging, DWH, and Orchestration layers.
  • Drive Data Modeling, Data Quality, performance optimization, and cost efficiency.
  • Work closely with BI, Analytics, and business teams to ensure the data platform supports critical business decisions.


What are we looking for?

  • 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering or Data Platform roles.
  • Proven experience with enterprise DWH environments such as Teradata, Oracle, SQL Server, or Snowflake.
  • Strong experience designing and developing complex ETL/ELT pipelines.
  • Experience with enterprise ETL tools such as Informatica and advanced SQL.
  • Experience working with complex source systems; ERP/SAP experience is a significant advantage.
  • Proven experience in team management or technical leadership.
  • Strong architectural thinking and the ability to lead end-to-end engineering processes.


Advantageous experience

  • Hands-on experience with Snowflake or Databricks.
  • Practical experience with Cloud Migration projects.
  • Experience with orchestration tools such as Airflow, dbt, or cloud-native pipelines.


If you’re looking for a role where you can combine technology, architecture, leadership, and real business impact — we’d love to hear from you.
