This data engineering senior position is a critical enablement role for our Center of Excellence Analytics, Data Science, Operations Research and Experimentation practices here at REI, as it will help us to build and test our models and optimizations rapidly, deliver analyses and insights to our commitments and grow our capabilities across the domain using best in class engineering and Cloud architecture solutions.
To succeed, this role will interface closely with our Business Intelligence Engineering partners in IT who are accountable for the robust operational health, security and productionalization of our Machine Learning models and data products at scale. Science engineering’s success will rely on rapid iterations, POCs and experiments that challenge our thinking and assumptions. This leader will own the 3-year strategy and Science Technical Roadmap as well as its integration with the IT roadmaps. Ensuring alignment with the Business Quarterly Planning priorities, alongside our Sr. PM for Analytics, Practice Managers and our Principal Scientists is essential.
As a senior leader, this role will help to develop and mentor junior engineers along their career path. In such a fast-paced and ever-changing space, we need to build adaptability, learning and empathy into our culture and practices and we look to our experts to help us design and deliver on these needs. Weekly 1:1s with direct reports, skip-levels, brown-bags, retrospectives … all will be critical goals for this leader as they develop our internal talent and set expectation with our 3rd party vendors.
