Manager, Data Ingestion

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.

Summary

You will be responsible for leading a team of Data and Software Engineers focused on the tools to ingest and process tens of thousands of critical files every month from over a hundred different partners that dv01 works with. This is an established group of engineers with varying levels of expertise and responsibility over our core ingest platforms. The team also plays a key role in supporting the internal, client-facing users of dv01's ingestion systems. We rely heavily on the critical systems that were built by this team to get us where we are now, but they will need to be either incrementally improved or re-architected to get us where we need to be as we continue to scale the business. 

You will:

• Directly manage a team of Data and Software Engineers that works to systematically ingest, catalog and pre-process data for use with the rest of our data pipelines and downstream applications
• 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-sale 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)
• Communicate technical decisions to stakeholders across business and engineering teams
• Work with engineering management peers to continuously improve the processes and culture of the larger Engineering Org

You are:

• 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 in order 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 are able to 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
• Experienced with cloud infrastructure, especially Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

In good faith our salary range for this role is $ $190,000 - $210,000 but are not tied to it. Final offer amount will be at the company's sole discretion and determined by multiple factors, including years and depth of experience, expertise, and other business considerations. Our community is fueled by diverse people who welcome differing points of view and the opportunity to learn from each other. Our team is passionate about building a product people love and a culture where everyone can innovate and thrive.

BENEFITS & PERKS:

• Unlimited PTO. Unplug and rejuvenate, however you want-whether that's vacationing on the beach or at home on a mental-health day.
• $1,000 Learning & Development Fund. No matter where you are in your career, always invest in your future. We encourage you to attend conferences, take classes, and lead workshops. We also host hackathons, brunch & learns, and other employee-led learning opportunities.
• Remote-First Environment. People thrive in a flexible and supportive environment that best invigorates them. You can work from your home, cafe, or hotel. You decide.
• 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.
• Free Equinox Membership or $1,650 Annual Fitness Fund. Regular exercise offers a plethora of mental and physical health benefits. 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.
