Data Engineering Manager - Remote

Overview

dv01 is lifting the curtain on the largest financial market in the world: structured finance. The $16+ trillion market is the backbone of everyday activities that empower financial freedom, from consolidating credit card debt and refinancing student loans, to buying a home and starting a small business.

dv01’s data analytics platform brings unparalleled transparency into investment performance and risk for lenders and Wall Street investors in structured products. As a data-first company, we wrangle critical loan data and build modern analytical tools that enable strategic decision-making for responsible lending. In a nutshell, we're helping prevent a repeat of the 2008 global financial crisis by offering the data and tools required to make smarter, data-driven decisions resulting in a safer world for all of us.

More than 400 of the largest financial institutions use dv01 for our coverage of over 75 million loans spanning mortgages, personal loans, auto, buy-now-pay-later programs, small business, and student loans. dv01 continues to expand coverage of new markets, adding loans monthly, and developing new technologies for the structured products universe.

In Short

• Directly manage a team of Data Engineers that owns dv01’s ETL/ELT infrastructure that serves multiple internal stakeholders who build their own pipelines.
• Mentor, train and promote the professional growth of the team (hold regular 1:1s, provide context on priorities, sponsor learning initiatives), closing skill gaps and hiring where necessary.
• Participate in code reviews and be able to navigate the team’s codebase and roll up your sleeves when needed.
• Report directly to the Director of Engineering (Data) and work with them to manage, prioritize and execute on large-scale projects alongside the Product and Project Management teams.
• Collaborate with Project Management to run sprint rituals and ceremonies.
• Review and contribute to technical planning (roadmaps, RFCs, tech specs).

Requirements

• An effective engineering manager with 7+ years of total engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a Data Engineering leadership role.
• A technical leader - this role does not involve writing a lot of code, but will require previous experience solving similar problems as an individual contributor to guide architectural decisions and to advocate for technical solutions to engineering and business teams.
• Able to operate effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and adapt to changing requirements when needed.
• A skilled written and verbal communicator – you can explain complex engineering systems to a variety of different audiences.
• Experienced hiring, mentoring, and coaching engineers - you empower those around you and help them grow and perform to the best of their abilities rather than micromanage.
• Experienced with agile project management – leading sprint planning and execution.

• Health Care and Financial Planning. We offer a comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance package for you and your family. We also offer a 401(k) for you to contribute.

You can either enroll in an all-access Equinox membership or at your preferred gym. Or take advantage of our fitness fund, which can be used toward at-home workout equipment (yes, including a Peloton).
• New Family Bonding. Primary caregivers can take 12 weeks off 100% paid leave, while secondary caregivers can take 3 weeks. Returning to work after bringing home a new child isn’t easy, which is why we’re flexible and empathetic to the needs of new parents.
