Data Engineering Manager

Posted January 6, 2025
Toronto / Remote - Canada

We are currently seeking a Data Engineering Manager to join our Data Engineering team. This role is available to candidates across Canada (excluding Quebec). If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum once per week on one of our Anchor Days.

The team builds internal infrastructure which enables access to analytical data about Clio's business as well as external infrastructure to help our customers derive insights and make business decisions about the operations of their firm. Externally and internally, this team helps power business decisions from the tactical to the strategic.

At Clio we strive to be both human and high performing. For engineering managers this means supporting and growing your people as well as delivering solid technical solutions that drive great business outcomes and advance Clio towards our strategic goals. Our Engineering Managers are highly technical and are expected to hands-on code, design, and review alongside their team. They coach and build their teams to be both strong technically and strong team members. They create a safe and productive environment for all Clions.

A day in the life might look like:

• Collaborating with a triad (yourself plus a product manager and designer) and other business stakeholders to: understand the challenges our business faces, identify the most impactful opportunities, and craft a roadmap for the team
• Working with your team on designing the technical solutions
• Actively participate as a contributor to the project by writing and shipping code
• Giving great feedback on code reviews, architecture documents, and more to help support team members making great technical decisions for their projects
• Having 1:1 meetings with your direct reports to make sure they are supported in their career growth and development goals
• Actively participating in hiring to grow the engineering team at Clio

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• Demonstrated success in people leadership in software development, particularly with large scale SaaS products
• A strong background in hands-on software development and data engineering
• Demonstrated the ability to hire a team of high-performance data engineers who deliver broad impact across the business
• A diverse base of knowledge that allows you to help your team solve complex technical problems
• Strong opinions that are weakly held, and foster that same attitude in others
• A habit of providing honest, actionable feedback to your team and encouraging your team to reciprocate
• The ability to synthesize roadmaps that guide your team, but aren't beholden to them -- you easily adapt to a constantly changing world

Serious bonus points if you have:

• A philosophy on what makes for great software development teams
• Experience with AirFlow and/or Databricks
• Experience with IaC
