Redwood Materials is building the U.S. stockpile of critical materials and deploying large-scale energy storage systems that power data centers and the nation’s grid.
About the role
Redwood Materials is looking for a motivated and talented Manager of Data Engineering to lead a team of Data Engineers and Analysts. This role requires collaboration with other business units to identify needs, scope problems, and chart the long-term roadmap for the data platform and services. The Data team is responsible for managing data assets in a data lake architecture and overseeing the full data lifecycle from ingestion to processing to consumption.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience building data solutions in a modern cloud environment, with at least 2 years managing technical teams
- Strong technical foundation in Python and SQL sufficient to review code, evaluate design decisions, and guide the team through hard technical problems (Trino experience a plus)
- Familiarity with the modern data engineering stack — relational and non-relational data stores, ELT orchestration, transformation tooling, and data observability/catalog tooling
- Experience operating data platforms in AWS using infrastructure-as-code methodologies (CDK a plus), familiarity with containerized workloads in Kubernetes nice to have
- Demonstrated ability to manage production data workloads at scale (detecting and diagnosing issues, monitoring, incident response)
More about this role
About Redwood Materials
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.
