Career Opportunities with Milan Laser Hair Removal

At Milan Laser Hair Removal, we're not just transforming skin—we're transforming confidence. As the nation's largest laser hair removal provider, we're built on a culture of excellence, innovation, and a commitment to delivering a world-class experience for both our clients and our team.

As we continue to grow, so does the importance of the technology and data behind our business. We're looking for a Data Platform Manager who can lead the evolution of Milan's data platform while staying close to the technical work that makes it all happen.

Position Summary

Lead a team responsible for the architecture, roadmap, and delivery of Milan's Snowflake data platform, including ingestion, the data lakehouse, identity resolution, and data engineering of foundational datasets so the organization has a reliable, scalable data foundation for today's analytics and reporting and tomorrow's artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives. Remain a hands-on technical contributor to the team's most complex data engineering and architectural work rather than a resource manager alone. Drive technical standards and patterns that guide day-to-day data architecture decisions across the team. Partner with cross-functional leaders to translate business priorities into platform capabilities. Build the technical and professional capabilities of the team through coaching, feedback, and performance management.

Responsibilities

• Platform Architecture & Technical Strategy: Inform the technical architecture and drive the roadmap for Milan's Snowflake data platform, including ingestion, the medallion architecture lakehouse, identity resolution, and data engineering of foundational datasets. Make and document architectural decisions that balance near-term delivery with long-term reusability, scalability, and maintainability. Evaluate new tools, patterns, and approaches (e.g., managed ingestion, governed transformation frameworks, data observability) and recommend where Milan should build versus buy.
• Team Leadership & People Management: Hire, coach, and manage the performance of data engineers and other technical staff on the platform team. Foster a culture of technical craftsmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement. Set clear goals and provide regular feedback to support each team member’s growth and development.
• Delivery & Prioritization: Prioritize and manage delivery of platform initiatives, including ingestion, identity and journey stitching, customer 360, data quality, and medallion layers that enable business intelligence, data science, and AI/agentic workloads. Break down complex technical roadmaps into achievable milestones and manage progress against them. Escalate risks, trade-offs, and resourcing needs to leadership early and clearly.
• Hands-On Engineering: Contribute directly to the design and development of complex data pipelines, data models, and platform components alongside the team. Perform code reviews and drive the use of reusable standards, templates, and best practices in conjunction with Principal Data Architect. Collaborate with the team to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues that arise.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with the Business Intelligence Manager and other data and business leaders to align platform capabilities with reporting, analytics, and activation needs. Represent the data platform in conversations with cross-functional departments and external partners. Communicate technical direction, progress, and constraints clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent (e.g., GED) required
• Bachelor's degree in information technology, computer science, or a related field OR equivalent combination of education and experience combined (one year of experience equals one year of education) required
• Six years of experience building ETL/ELT systems and data pipelines in a data warehouse or lakehouse environment required
