TL;DR · Data Engineering Manager

The Data Engineering Manager will lead a team of data engineers focused on building and operating customer data platforms for OnStar, Connected Services, Marketing, and AI. This technical leadership role involves defining roadmaps, mentoring engineers, and architecting scalable, cloud-native data products across a multi-cloud Lakehouse architecture. You will design and build batch, streaming, API, and event-driven pipelines while driving modernization from legacy platforms to cloud-native solutions. Key technologies include Databricks, Apache Spark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Python, and SQL. You will also implement AI-first engineering concepts like Generative AI, RAG, and vector search. The role solves complex engineering challenges by creating trusted, governed data products that power predictive analytics and large-scale connected customer experiences across Azure, AWS, and GCP environments.

What you'll do

  • Lead, mentor, and manage a high-performing team of data engineers including hiring and career development.
  • Define and execute the technical roadmap for Customer, Marketing, and OnStar digital data products.
  • Architect and build scalable batch, streaming, API, and event-driven data pipelines using Databricks and Spark.
  • Drive the migration of legacy platforms to cloud-native, multi-cloud Lakehouse architectures across Azure, GCP, and AWS.
  • Build trusted, governed data products to support AI, Machine Learning, and Generative AI applications.
  • Champion engineering excellence through CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, data observability, and automated testing.
  • Optimize platform performance, scalability, reliability, and cloud cost efficiency.
  • Own end-to-end delivery of data engineering initiatives from initial product requirements to post-deployment support.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or production-grade Distributed Data Platforms.
  • 3+ years of proven experience leading and managing data engineering or software engineering teams.
  • Deep expertise with Databricks, Apache Spark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Python, SQL, and modern Lakehouse architectures.
  • Experience designing cloud-native solutions across Azure, AWS, or GCP.
  • Experience with AI-first engineering concepts including Generative AI, RAG, vector search, and LLM-powered applications.
  • Strong experience building large-scale distributed batch and streaming data pipelines.
  • Experience with Databricks AI capabilities, streaming technologies like Kafka, or DataOps/MLOps practices (preferred).
