About the Role

    As the Manager of Data Engineering, you will lead a team of data engineers in building scalable, secure, and high-performance data pipelines and infrastructure. You’ll partner cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to define and execute a data engineering roadmap that supports DexCare’s internal analytics and external product capabilities. This role blends strategic leadership with hands-on technical execution in a highly regulated healthcare environment.

    This is not a hands-off role: the right candidate has deep enough data engineering experience to engage meaningfully in technical discussions, code reviews, and architectural trade-offs, while knowing when to step back and let engineers lead.

    This manager owns the health of the team as much as the output. Sprint planning, 1:1s, performance reviews, hiring, and career development are just as important as shipping pipelines on time. The role operates at the intersection of engineering delivery and people leadership — balancing short-term execution (sprint goals, incident response, stakeholder SLAs) with long-term investment (mentorship, technical growth, team culture, and process improvement).

What You’ll Do

    • Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing team of data engineers.
    • Define and execute the data engineering roadmap aligned with DexCare’s strategic goals.
    • Architect and oversee scalable data pipelines for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
    • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver cross-functional data solutions.
    • Own the end-to-end lifecycle of data ingestion, transformation, storage, and delivery.
    • Ensure data quality, governance, and compliance with HIPAA and HITRUST standards.
    • Manage relationships with third-party data vendors and integration partners.
    • Drive adoption of modern data engineering practices including CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and observability.
    • Communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, including executives.

    • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), Databricks, and data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
    • Familiarity with visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, D3).
    • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and production-grade software systems.
    • Strong architectural skills and ability to resolve performance bottlenecks.
    • Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
