About the Role

As the Engineer Manager for our Data Engineering team, you and your team will own execution of our data strategy. You will be responsible for building automated pipelines for data extraction, building and maintaining curated data models, and activating Charlie Health’s data by developing bespoke integrations or utilizing a reverse ELT platform.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys partnering with product development and business stakeholders to drive durable contributions and technical decisions while building a top notch team. You’ll thrive here if you find greenfield work energizing, have a high quality bar, and take an iterative approach to impact.

This is a unique opportunity to impact millions of lives while building something from scratch, so we’re looking for someone who is inspired by our mission and as excited about this opportunity as we are.

Responsibilities

• Act as a player-coach for the data engineering team, teaching and guiding by getting your hands in the code and leading from the front.
• Own your team's technical output and set the pace. Deliver high quality, performant, maintainable data platforms that drive meaningful business value in tight iterations.
• Coach and mentor your engineering team. Identify and amplify strengths. Guide teammates through blockers and to long term professional growth.
• Scale your team, with a focus on diversity, values, and impact.
• Be an agent of alignment. Build consensus across and set strong patterns for our growing engineering department.
• Partner with teammates across the organization to understand our business. Leverage that understanding to drive technical discussions and decisions.
• Be an owner. Collaborate with Product, Analytics, and the rest of the business to iterate to best in class data solutions.
• Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements to engineering processes, tools, and procedures. We’re early and the expectation of folks joining at this stage is that you’ll play a huge part in setting and improving how we work.
• Promote a culture of collaboration and learning across engineering, product, and design team via mentoring, documentation, presentations, or other knowledge sharing methods.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional experience and 2+ years' of engineering management experience.
• Significant professional experience directly managing data engineers or software engineers developing platforms or features that deliver meaningful business value.
• Self directed attitude. You consistently drive your team to take solutions from ideas to production.
• Great communication skills. Clear, concise, and able to communicate technical concepts to less technical partners.
• Expertise and hands on production experience developing data infrastructure, building pipelines, and modeling data. Bonus points if you have experience with the tools we use: FiveTran, DBT, Dagster, Snowflake, Hightouch, and Tableau. 
• Excellent at managing ambiguity. Masterful ability to break down big, messy problems (demanding requirements, bugs, etc) into smaller parts with tractable solutions and clear iterations.
• Experience making or contributing to important technical tradeoff decisions with cross team implications.
• Growth mindset and a sense of humor. You welcome feedback and when you stumble, you get back up. You adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment and you enjoy fostering an environment that prioritizes fun, learning, and growth. #LI-Remote
