Job description
As an Engineering Manager Data Domains, you will help our data teams continue their journey toward modern, cloud-native ways of working. You lead teams that build datasets for multiple business domains and ensure their solutions are reliable, scalable and future-proof. At the same time, you strengthen collaboration across domains and ensure data solutions are part of the broader engineering ecosystem. In doing so, you contribute to Jumbo’s ambition to make data a core capability in how we build technology and innovation.
Get started! This is what you will do
In this role you will guide multiple Data Domain teams as they continue their development toward modern data engineering and cloud-native ways of working. These teams support several business domains in creating structured and harmonized datasets that are used in analytics, applications and data products.
You help teams grow in engineering maturity, collaboration and ways of working, while ensuring existing solutions remain reliable and stable. You promote a way of working where data is developed closer to the business, strengthening the connection between data producers and data consumers.
You support Product Owners in strengthening alignment across domains, ensuring data solutions are not developed in isolation but become part of a broader engineering ecosystem. Together you build data products that are scalable, reusable and well integrated with other technology across Jumbo.
You also play an important role in developing the right team structures, skills and mindset to enable a more federated way of working. This helps reduce the distance between business domains and data solutions, increasing the overall impact of data within the organization.
Your main responsibilities:
- Lead and coach Data Domain teams in their development toward modern, cloud-native engineering
- Strengthen engineering maturity, collaboration and ways of working within the teams
- Ensure data solutions remain reliable while teams continue to evolve
- Support Product Owners in strengthening alignment across domains and teams
- Foster collaboration between data producers and data consumers
- Build scalable and reusable data products within the broader engineering ecosystem
- Develop team structures and capabilities that support a federated data way of working
- Collaborate closely with Data Platform, Data Science and other engineering teams
