Job description

About the Role

As the Manager of Data Engineering, you will lead a team of data engineers in building scalable, secure, and high-performance data pipelines and infrastructure. You’ll partner cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to define and execute a data engineering roadmap that supports DexCare’s internal analytics and external product capabilities. This role blends strategic leadership with hands‑on technical execution in a highly regulated healthcare environment.

This is not a hands-off role: the right candidate has deep enough data engineering experience to engage meaningfully in technical discussions, code reviews, and architectural trade-offs, while knowing when to step back and let engineers lead.

This manager owns the health of the team as much as the output. Sprint planning, 1:1s, performance reviews, hiring, and career development are just as important as shipping pipelines on time. The role operates at the intersection of engineering delivery and people leadership — balancing short-term execution (sprint goals, incident response, stakeholder SLAs) with long-term investment (mentorship, technical growth, team culture, and process improvement).

What You’ll Do

• Build, mentor, and manage a high‑performing team of data engineers.
• Define and execute the data engineering roadmap aligned with DexCare’s strategic goals.
• Architect and oversee scalable data pipelines for structured, semi‑structured, and unstructured data.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver cross‑functional data solutions.
• Own the end‑to‑end lifecycle of data ingestion, transformation, storage, and delivery.
• Ensure data quality, governance, and compliance with HIPAA and HITRUST standards.
• Manage relationships with third‑party data vendors and integration partners.
• Drive adoption of modern data engineering practices including CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and observability.
• Communicate effectively across technical and non‑technical audiences, including executives.
