About the role

We are looking for a Manager, Data Engineering & Analytics to own the architecture, delivery, and evolution of our enterprise data platform.

Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or Enterprise Data Solutions
  • 2+ years of formal people management, or demonstrated experience leading engineering squads, sprint planning, and managing backlogs in Jira

  • Hands-on experience administering a modern BI platform (Tableau user management, data sources, and site administration preferred)
