Data is the lifeblood of any technology company. At C2FO, we are building a data platform to provide clean, trusted, low-latency data to stakeholders company-wide. We believe this platform will have a multiplicative impact, elevating the capabilities of engineering, sales, product, data science, business intelligence, and decision makers across the company.
The Data Engineering Lead is an independent manager of a data engineering team. They are comfortable managing team members with different skill sets from their own. They communicate expectations clearly to all team members. They solicit and deliver individual feedback frequently, not only in the scope of review periods.
They work with stakeholders across C2FO from engineering, product, data science, business intelligence and more to coordinate efforts on projects with wide-reaching impacts on the company. As a technical leader, they ensure they are tracking the team’s efficiency and quality of deliverables and regularly adjusting processes and timelines to ensure high-quality delivery.
