Job Description:

Our client, a leading food manufacturer based in Massachusetts, is seeking a Data Platform Tech Lead to own the technical direction of their modern data platform. This individual will lead a team of three (Senior Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, and Reporting Analyst) while remaining hands-on, taking technical stories each sprint, and driving the end-to-end data lifecycle — from ingestion through modeling to reporting. The ideal candidate has deep experience with Snowflake, Matillion, and dbt, along with ERP integration experience, ideally with Sage X3, and a background in manufacturing, supply chain, or similar operational environments.

Job Summary:

  • Lead and mentor a team of three (Senior Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Reporting Analyst) while remaining hands-on each sprint
  • Own the full data lifecycle: extract data from APIs, files, SaaS applications, and on-prem systems; build and manage ETL/ELT pipelines; ingest, cleanse, transform, and model data; deliver reporting and dashboards
  • Integrate data from the company's ERP (Sage X3) and numerous business-owned applications, bringing together sales, finance, inventory, manufacturing, supply-chain, and operational data
  • Manage and enhance the modern data stack: Snowflake, Matillion, dbt, Power BI, and Python
  • Design scalable architecture and reusable data models aligned with business needs
  • Support the potential evolution/migration of portions of the environment to Microsoft Fabric
  • Work closely with nontechnical business stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions
  • Conduct code reviews, establish best practices, troubleshoot pipeline issues, and improve documentation/testing
  • Partner with the OT/manufacturing technology team
  • Turn manual processes into scalable, automated data solutions

Minimum Requirements:

  • 5-7 years of experience in data engineering, data platforms, analytics engineering, or data integration
  • Proven end-to-end data experience — not someone who has only done reporting or only maintained pipelines
  • Advanced SQL and strong cloud data warehouse experience (Snowflake or highly comparable)
  • Hands-on experience with ETL/ELT tools and building scalable pipelines
  • dbt experience strongly preferred
  • Experience building data models across complex business domains (Finance, Operations, Supply Chain)
  • ERP integration experience; Sage X3 experience ideal
  • Manufacturing, supply-chain, inventory, or distribution industry experience
  • Experience leading or mentoring technical team members while remaining hands-on
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work with nontechnical stakeholders
  • Stable tenure or credible explanations for career transitions
  • Ability to work remotely while attending the Massachusetts office approximately once per month

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Direct Matillion experience
  • Power BI or Tableau experience
  • Python experience
  • Microsoft Fabric experience
  • Experience migrating from on-prem SQL Server environments to a cloud data warehouse
  • Experience partnering with OT or plant/manufacturing technology teams
  • Formal management experience (one-on-ones, performance reviews, employee development)
  • Agile development, automated testing, CI/CD, and version-control experience
