"I can succeed as an Engineering Manager, Data & AI at Capital Group"
As an Engineering Manager in the Capital Business Insights (CBI) team, part of the Enterprise Data Office, you'll build and lead the engineering team behind some of the most consequential data and AI work at Capital Group. Your team builds the governed AI-native data solutions Capital Group Senior Leaders and Business Forums rely on to run the business and communicate with our clients and partners.
We're looking for a hands-on leader who sets the technical direction and builds alongside the team, with the curiosity to explore what AI can do for data and the know-how to make it real. You'll build the founding engineering team for CBI: hiring, coaching, and setting the operating model for how AI agents ship alongside them. This role is primarily based in Los Angeles with occasional travel to our Irvine office.
Key Responsibilities
Hands-On AI-Native Data Product Delivery (40%)
Your team ships the data and intelligence Capital Group runs on: everywhere it's consumed, by humans and AI. Consumer demand is outpacing anyone still writing pipelines by hand, so you'll extend EDO AI Catalyst (CG's AI sidekick for data product creators) with the skills, agents, and automation to ship at the pace the business needs. Your engineers review, steer, and own the hardest technical calls.
Engineering Vision, Solution Design, and AI for Data (30%)
Set the solution design for CBI's data products (jointly with Product Leads) and how AI powers them: a modern data catalog for humans and agents, source-to-target lineage with impact analysis, and shared metrics and dimensions for the next generation of consumption (BI, agents, executive narratives). Own the hard calls on where AI belongs in the stack and where it doesn't.
Team Leadership and Growth (20%)
Build the team, culture, and hiring bar from the ground up. Recruit, coach, and grow a diverse team of engineers, and set the operating model for how the team builds, ships, and maintains AI skills and agents alongside the humans.
Partnership and Enterprise Engagement (10%)
Represent CBI's engineering voice in Enterprise Data Office forums (architecture, platform, AI governance, catalog federation), engage with business stakeholders as data consumers, and coordinate with Data Platform and Global Data Architecture as peer teams on the shared lakehouse foundation.

- Hands-on technical leader with a track record of hiring, developing, coaching, and growing diverse, high-performing teams in inclusive, engaging environments where every engineer can thrive

- Strong grasp of data modeling and data product design from source ingest to consumer-fit products, with shared metrics and dimensions that BI tools and agents can consume; familiarity with Databricks Genie, Unity Catalog metric views, or Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS) a plus
