The posting

The Staff Data Engineer is the hands-on technical authority for the team's day-to-day data engineering delivery and operations. Reporting to the Principal Data Engineer, this role owns the day-to-day technical decisions, quality and reliability of data platforms and pipelines in-flight, and is the primary escalation point for the engineering team on technical and operational matters.

The Staff Data Engineer is accountable for supporting the principal engineer with solution architecture and designs, translating these into consistent day-to-day execution, patterns and for continuously improving how the team runs data operations.

The role works closely with local and offshore engineers, architects, security teams and platform teams to ensure data solutions are reliable, interoperable, and aligned with Latitude’s broader data and cloud strategy. The staff data engineer will provide technical guidance to engineers, resolve complex operational and delivery challenges, and contribute directly to solution design, development, testing, and implementation.

In this role, you’ll:

  • Lead technical delivery: Lead the end-to-end engineering delivery of data platforms, pipelines and data products, ensuring solutions meet agreed functional and non-functional requirements and comply with the LFS data engineering standards.
  • Engineer scalable data solutions: Translate architectural direction established by the Principal Data Engineer and enterprise architecture teams into practical, scalable and secure solution designs using platforms such as Snowflake, Airflow, AWS and other agentic and data development frameworks.
  • Remain hands-on: Contribute directly to solution development, code reviews, testing, troubleshooting, deployment and production support as part of a local and offshore engineering team.
  • Drive engineering excellence: Own engineering standards in practice: Enforce and uphold the team's CI/CD, automated testing, code quality, observability and DevSecOps standards day to day through code reviews, definition-of-done gates and hands-on remediation, ensuring standards set by the Principal Engineer are consistently applied across every delivery."
  • Support platform interoperability: Build solutions that enable secure and seamless data movement, integration and collaboration across platforms, business domains and engineering teams.
  • Guide engineering teams: Provide day-to-day technical direction: Act as the go-to technical decision-maker for local and offshore engineers on delivery and operational questions, allocating and unblocking work, reviewing designs and code, and coaching engineers through complex problems in-flight.
  • Maintain operational reliability: Own operational reliability day to day: Act as the technical owner for the run-state of data pipelines and platforms — triaging incidents, leading root-cause analysis, meeting SLAs/SLOs, and driving the fixes, observability and automation that reduce recurring operational toil week to week.
  • Embed governance and security: Work with data governance, cyber security and privacy teams to incorporate metadata management, data lineage, data quality, access controls and regulatory requirements into solutions by design.
  • Support strategic initiatives: Partner with the Principal Data Engineer and other technical leaders to support strategic data and cloud transformation initiatives, including platform modernization and migration programs.
  • Manage technical risks and dependencies: owning day-to-day delivery and operational risks and dependencies directly and escalating significant architectural or enterprise-standard-setting decisions to the Principal Data Engineer.
  • Agentic development: Help shape what agentic development frameworks and harness kits that help teams accelerate consistency, quality and output in our development lifecycle, and importantly support the adoption across teams contributing to our data systems and platforms.

What you’ll bring:

  • You are familiar with AI tools - comfortable using tools to accelerate insights, automate routine work, prepare reporting, and tailor content quickly and effectively. (for individual contributor roles)
  • AI-native - regularly leverages AI tools to enhance decision-making, automate reporting, accelerate content creation, and drive greater efficiency across your team (for people leader roles)
  • ·Bachelor’s degree in computer science or information technology or a related discipline.
  • ·7+ years of experience in data engineering, including experience leading the technical delivery of complex data solutions.
  • ·Strong hands-on experience with cloud data platforms and services - Snowflake and AWS.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and building scalable data pipelines using modern technologies such as dbt, Airflow, Kafka, Spark
  • ·Strong programming and automation experience using technologies such as Python, SQL, Terraform and CloudFormation.
  • Strong experience and practices with best practice AI assisted development, in particular leveraging harnesses, kits and agentic development frameworks.
  • ​Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, monitoring, observability and DevSecOps practices for data platforms.
  • Experience applying Infrastructure as Code and automation-first principles to the development and operation of data platforms.
  • Experience designing or contributing to self-service data platforms and reusable engineering frameworks.
  • Strong understanding of data integration patterns, pipeline orchestration, and distributed data processing.
  • Proven ability to build data solutions with strong performance, scalability, security, maintainability, and reliability characteristics.
  • Understanding of data governance, metadata management, lineage, data quality, security, privacy and access-control principles.
  • Experience leading technical delivery across local and offshore or distributed engineering teams.
  • Experience coaching and mentoring junior and mid-level engineers. Inclusive of the ability to conduct design or code review and support other engineers in troubleshooting complex technical issues and helping them make pragmatic engineering choices.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement, collaboration, and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics clearly.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
