Role overview

The Director, Data Platform & Integration Engineering Lead owns the engineering strategy and delivery of shared data platforms and integration capabilities for TDS AI & Data Technology: strategic data platforms and lakehouse, processing frameworks and self-service, data ingestion, streaming and events, and metadata, connectivity and shared pipelines.

The role brings platform engineering, data integration and data architecture into one accountable capability, and requires hands-on technical depth, engineering leadership, product thinking and commercial judgment.

What you’ll do

•Set platform and integration strategy. Define the multiyear target architecture and roadmap; set standards and reference architectures; decide where to build, buy, consolidate or retire; rationalize duplicated platforms and pipelines.

•Lead data-platform engineering. Lead lakehouse and warehouse engineering on Databricks, Snowflake or equivalent; provide reusable processing frameworks and self-service so domain data-product teams do not rebuild foundations.

•Modernize integration and streaming. Lead batch, real-time, event-driven and API integration; set Kafka and Flink standards; define when to move, stream, virtualize (Dremio, Starburst, Denodo) or query data in place.

•Set software-engineering standards. Apply Python, Java, Spring Boot, API, CI/CD, DevSecOps and infrastructure-as-code practices; run pipelines and platforms as production software.

•Embed governance and controls. Build metadata, lineage, quality and policy enforcement into the platform (Collibra, Unity Catalog); partner with the CDO organization to automate controls and data contracts.

•Enable analytics consumption. Establish patterns for Sigma, Strategy and Power BI on governed data products with shared semantics, and rationalize overlapping BI tooling.

•Operate platforms as products and lead people. Own roadmaps, SLOs, reliability, cost and TCO; lead engineering managers, architects and engineers; manage strategic vendors; build succession.

What you bring

•Deep experience engineering modern enterprise data platforms: lakehouse, warehouse, distributed query, streaming and data processing. Databricks and/or Snowflake strongly preferred.

•Working knowledge of Kafka, Flink, data virtualization (Dremio, Starburst, Denodo) and governance tooling (Collibra, Unity Catalog).

•Proficiency in Python, Java, Spring Boot, APIs and cloud-native engineering patterns; familiarity with BI Tools such as Sigma, Strategy, Power BI.

•Significant experience leading data-platform, integration or platform-engineering organizations, including global teams.

•Experience in a regulated environment with security, resilience and data-control expectations.

•Strong financial management: cloud economics, licensing, vendor management and TCO.

Preferred qualifications

•Capital markets, wholesale banking, market-data or risk-data experience.

•Experience on Azure or another major cloud, and enabling generative and agentic AI workloads through governed data.

•Degree in computer science, software or data engineering; advanced degree an asset.

How success will be measured

•Adoption and reuse of common platform, ingestion and integration capabilities; time to onboard a new source or use case.

•Reduction in bespoke pipelines, point-to-point integrations, legacy technology and technical debt.

•Platform availability, streaming latency and reliability; fewer material incidents.

•Metadata, lineage and ownership coverage; timely remediation of risk and control issues.

•Platform cost efficiency and retention of critical engineering talent.
