  • Evaluate and implement technologies for cataloging, lineage, and observability to ensure transparency and trust.
  • Define and enforce standards for documentation, traceability, and reproducibility across the data ecosystem.


Team Leadership & Development

  • Build and lead a world-class data engineering team focused on governance-aware data engineering.
  • Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and career development opportunities for engineers.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and excellence in data practices.


Business & Compliance Alignment

  • Partner with Compliance, Information Security, and business leaders to align governance with regulatory and strategic needs.
  • Translate governance frameworks into engineering solutions that empower business outcomes, not just controls.
  • Communicate effectively with executive stakeholders to report on data quality, compliance, and progress against KPIs.


Required Skills & Experience

  • 10+ years of experience in data engineering, data governance, or related roles, with at least 3–5 years in a leadership/managerial capacity.
  • Proven expertise in building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines across structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data including orchestration and automation with tools such as Airflow and data modeling with frameworks like dbt.
  • Strong familiarity with data governance and MDM tools such as DataHub, Collibra, or Informatica.
  • Hands-on experience with any databases, pref is PostgreSQL and/or modern data lakehouse platforms (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of data governance principles, lineage, metadata, and data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
  • Track record of hiring, developing, and leading engineering teams with a focus on delivering measurable outcomes.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across technical and business domains.


Additional Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, or related field.
  • Experience supporting AI/ML model pipelines and governance for AI-driven workloads.
  • Knowledge of data quality frameworks and tooling for continuous monitoring and improvement.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance governance rigor with business agility, enabling trusted and efficient outcomes.


Why This Role Matters

Data is at the heart of EnterpriseDB’s growth, innovation, and decision-making. As Senior Manager of Data Governance Engineering, you will define how data is trusted, governed, and scaled across the company. By unifying governance and engineering under your leadership, you’ll enable faster insights, regulatory compliance, and responsible AI—all powered by EDB Postgres at the core of our lakehouse architecture.
