We need a Director of Data Engineering to lead the people, process, and strategy for our foundational Data Engineering team. This Director will significantly elevate the maturity and operational excellence of the function, ensuring the reliable creation of data features and models that fuel our AI / ML initiatives. This is a full-time role and will work a hybrid schedule based in Lehi, Utah.

What is a day in the life of a Director of Data Engineering?

  • Drive the operational maturity and efficiency of the Data Engineering function.
  • Oversee the development, testing, and deployment of complex data pipelines that transform raw data into usable data models and features.
  • Run the quarterly project process, ensuring tactical execution and that "no pipelines are left behind."
  • Partner closely with Data Science and AI teams, ensuring the engineering output directly enables the building and training of models.
  • Communicate strategy and progress through formal presentations to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

What will I need to thrive in this role?

  • Partner Obsessed- An individual who is partner obsessed clearly explains the status of projects to partners and relies on constructive feedback, actively listens to partner’s expectations, and delivers results that exceed them, prioritizes the needs of your partners, and takes the time to create a personable experience for those interacting with Pattern.
  • Team of Doers- Someone who is a part of a team of doers uplifts team members and recognizes their specific contributions, takes initiative to help in any circumstance, actively contributes to supporting improvements, and holds themselves accountable to the team as well as to partners.
