Lead Data Engineer

Are you a visionary technologist ready to take the reins of a high-impact data ecosystem? Vaco by Highspring is looking for a Lead Data Engineer to join our remote team and serve as the architect of our future-forward cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will do more than just manage code; you will mentor a talented squad of engineers, champion best practices, and lead the modernization of our data platform. If you are passionate about building scalable, reliable ETL pipelines and thrive in an environment that values innovation, this is your opportunity to shape the technical direction of our organization while solving complex, real-world data challenges.

We believe in empowering our engineers to push boundaries, which is why we are looking for a hands-on leader who is as comfortable conducting code reviews as they are designing enterprise-grade data warehouse solutions. By partnering closely with our cross-functional development teams, you will ensure our data architecture remains robust, performant, and perfectly aligned with our business goals. If you are a collaborative problem-solver who is eager to elevate your leadership skills while staying deeply connected to the technical craft, we invite you to help us build a world-class data foundation at Vaco by Highspring.
