Job Description

About the Role

Data Platform Enablement keeps Nordstrom's analytics and data platforms running, evolving, and getting simpler. We own a broad portfolio across GCP and AWS — BigQuery, Looker Core, Metabase, and the access management and cost optimization that keep them healthy. We're a small team covering a large surface area, and AI is how we do it.

This is a player-coach role. You own delivery, technical standards, operational health, and the growth of your engineers — and you stay hands-on, writing code and building automation alongside them. You partner with a Product Manager who owns vision and stakeholders, while you own technical delivery, architecture, and team health.

We use AI every day — not occasionally — to write code, automate operations, and investigate incidents. We run Kanban with continuous flow and weekly demos: no sprints, no story points. Our engineers are generalists who work across the whole portfolio, pair, cross-train, and value direct contribution over process.

What You'll Own

Platform & Operations

  • Lead engineering delivery across BigQuery/GCP, GCP Looker, Metabase, and AWS workloads
  • Own platform reliability, incident response, and on-call for production systems
  • Drive capacity planning — forecasting growth, managing compute costs, and scaling ahead of demand
  • Support the deprecation of legacy platforms (MicroStrategy, Tableau)

Access Management & Cost Optimization

  • Own enterprise access provisioning and governance across the data platform
  • Lead cost optimization across GCP, AWS, and platform tooling in partnership with engineering and finance
  • Define access policies, tiering models, and provisioning workflows with security and compliance partners

Looker Governance & Development Framework

  • Establish LookML governance, development standards, and deployment practices for Looker Core
  • Partner with analytics teams on explore design, data modeling, and dashboard best practices
  • Own platform health, migration governance, and the Looker development lifecycle

Conversational Analytics Enablement

  • Lead the CA enablement strategy — Golden Query standards, agent development, adoption
  • Manage token utilization and capacity planning with Insights Delivery leadership
  • Partner with every team across the organization to drive CA maturity enterprise-wide

Team Leadership

  • Set technical direction: architecture, standards, monitoring, and prioritization
  • Develop your engineers and coach AI fluency through hands-on guidance and a high adoption bar
  • Contribute as an engineer: write code, build tooling, and review pull requests alongside the team
  • Own hiring, capacity planning, and team health

What You Bring

Required

  • 2+ years leading engineering teams, with direct accountability for delivery and people development
  • 5+ years building software, platforms, infrastructure, or data systems
  • Hands-on Python proficiency (or equivalent) you still write today — direct technical contribution is expected
  • Strong cloud experience across GCP and/or AWS, with fluency in Git, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code
  • Experience owning access management programs at scale
  • Daily use of AI coding tools and a real point of view on how they change the way teams work

Bonus Points

  • Data platform or BI depth: BigQuery, Looker, Metabase, Tableau, or MicroStrategy
  • Terraform and Kubernetes
  • Cloud cost optimization at scale
  • Analytics access provisioning in SailPoint IdentityNow via SCIM group synchronization
  • Hands-on Dataplex zone governance
  • Experience standing up an AI-first engineering practice
  • Familiarity with Conversational Analytics, LLM-powered data tools, or semantic layer patterns
  • Experience at a large-scale retail, e-commerce, or consumer organization

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
