Job Summary We are hiring a Lead Data Engineer to drive delivery across our analytics and data platform initiatives. This role is a hands-on technical lead responsible for translating well-defined engineering specifications into executable work, coordinating a small team of contractors, and ensuring consistent, high-quality progress. You will partner closely with an Engineering Manager who owns architectural direction and high-level specifications. Your focus will be execution leadership: refining specifications into agile workloads, assigning work effectively, contributing directly to complex implementations, and clearly communicating progress, risks, and areas requiring clarification. At Logicbroker, AI-driven development isn't a future initiative. Our engineering team has been an early adopter, building its own AI implementations and integrating emerging technologies into everyday development workflows. We're looking for a technical leader who is excited to embrace AI-assisted development, drive engineering efficiency, and help shape how we continue to innovate and deliver at scale. Work Authorization: Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Logicbroker is unable to provide employment visa sponsorship for this position, now or in the future. What You'll Do: Lead a small delivery team and act as a player-coach by owning the most complex data transformations and modeling work, while reviewing and guiding contractor contributions. Keep work unblocked, well-scoped, and on track to ensure consistent delivery of momentum. Continue building and refining analytics foundations driven by Gold-layer data models. Design and implement Medallion architecture transformations (Bronze → Silver → Gold). Ensure Gold-layer outputs are well-modeled, performant, and consistently consumable by an external analytics engine. Improve the reliability, clarity, and maintainability of existing pipelines. Partner with the Engineering Manager to execute an approved Data Warehouse Unification Plan RFC. Plan and deliver sprint-based execution, with execution as the primary focus given the RFC is already defined. Work across multiple Databricks instances as part of a GDPR-first data strategy. Surface execution risks, sequencing concerns, and dependencies early to support successful delivery. Translate engineering specifications into clear, scoped tickets, logical sprint plans, and well-sequenced workstreams. Assign work appropriately across contractors based on skill level and complexity. Implement complex Spark and Databricks transformations directly as needed. Review pull requests and uphold quality standards across all delivered work. Communicate progress, blockers, and clarity needs clearly and proactively with stakeholders. Maintain delivery momentum without unnecessary process overhead.
