Manager, Data Engineering

Thumbtack

Remote · United StatesSalary not disclosedfull-timeThumbtack Careers

The team this role will lead is organized into two subteams: one partners closely with Finance, while the other is embedded with Supply Acquisition and Business Platforms. Several engineers will be joining at roughly the same time as you.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver well-modeled, durable datasets for requests, projects, pros, and customers that the rest of the company builds on without asking who owns them.
  • Partner with Finance so revenue models reconcile, hold their definitions under upstream change, and are auditable.
  • Partner with the Supply Acquisition and Business Platforms teams on their roadmaps, and turn their priorities into yours without waiting to be handed tickets.
  • Raise the reliability floor on the core pipelines: dbt tests, CI, anomaly detection, and clear contracts so a definition change three hops upstream doesn't quietly move a reported number.
  • Hire and grow mid-level and senior data engineers, and develop TLs who can own a domain end-to-end.
  • Set the engineering standards for a team that's still forming, including review, testing, and how the team decides what not to build.
  • Lead as a technical manager. You'll make and defend modeling and architecture decisions, not just route them.
  • In order to be successful, you must bring
  • 2+ years managing engineers, or experience as a tech lead ready to step into first-line management.
  • 6+ years building data or software systems in production.
