What You Will Do

You will be leading the Scientific Data Engineering (SDE) Team and help build Tetra Data which is the foundation of the Data Engineering layer. We are looking for a player-coach who is a seasoned data engineer and can be hands-on but can also provide mentorship to junior team members. As a Technical Lead, you should be comfortable leading internal design sessions and architecting solutions. You will work directly with Product Managers and Solution Architects to gather business and data design objectives, resulting in production-based solutions. As a Technical Lead, you will be a team-focused leader, have excellent data engineering skills, supervise and collaborate on project executions, and have a high commitment to customer success by delivering mission-critical implementations.

Our success is defined by collaboration. You will have tremendous support to achieve your objectives, from a variety of teams, both internal and external.

• Take ownership of building data models, prototypes, and integration solutions that drive customer success.
• Research and prototype data acquisition strategy for scientific lab instrumentation, prototype file parsers for instrument output files (.xlsx, .pdf, .txt, .raw, .fid, and many other vendor binaries).
• Quality gatekeeper: design with quality backed by unit tests, integration tests, and utility functions.
• Lead internal project post-mortems to identify areas of improvement on the next implementation.
• Rally the team to finish Agile Sprint commitments. Actively surfacing team inefficiencies and striving to resolve them.
• Driven by result. Have the pragmatic urgency to resolve blockers, unclear requirements and eventually make things happen.

• 10+ years of building solutions as a Data Engineer or similar fields.
• 10+ years working in Python and SQL with a focus on data.
• 10+ years of experience managing multiple customer-focused implementation projects across cross-functional teams, building sustainable processes, and managing delivery milestones.
