Engineering Manager, Director

Team: Data Engineer

Location: Monterrey

Commitment: Full- Time

Workplace Type: hybrid

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Hands-On Lead and mentor a high-performing data engineering team, fostering technical excellence and professional growth while ensuring delivery of scalable, modern data solutions aligned with business priorities.
• Partner with the CDO team and data product leaders to define and execute the vision for an AWS-based data platform that enables enterprise-wide self-service, unlocking data for AI, analytics, and innovation.
• Drive architectural decisions and establish best practices for data ingestion, transformation, and distribution frameworks that accelerate time-to-insight for data producers and consumers.
• Champion adoption of emerging technologies such as Agentic AI and Generative AI, integrating advanced capabilities into data workflows to enhance user experience and position the organization as “AI-Ready.”
• Ensure operational excellence and reliability by proactively addressing complex data engineering challenges, implementing robust quality controls, and preventing production incidents.

You May be a Good Fit if:

• 7-10 years’ experience, hands-on, leading highly technical data-centric software engineers, preferably in financial services, in support of Data Lake houses (e.g. AWS, Databricks, Snowflake), data virtualization solutions (e.g. Starburst), modern data catalogs & data quality capabilities (e.g. Collibra), and Master Data Management (e.g. Informatica).
• Proven AWS expertise (S3, EKS, Lambda, Glue, EMR, Redshift, S3, RDS/Aurora, Valkey/Redis, Step Functions, MSK/Kafka, Event Bridge).
• AWS Certification strongly preferred.
• Experience applying AI/ML to boost engineering productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q).
• Strong Python for data engineering (Pandas, Spark/PySpark) and API Development (FastAPI or similar).
• Design and build high-performance REST/GraphQL APIs with optimized query patterns, pagination, caching, and schema design to ensure low-latency, performant reads at scale.
• Build ETL/ELT pipelines for batch and streaming; Kafka/MSK with schemas (Avro/JSON) and delivery semantics.
• Optimize performance of object-based and relational datastores.
• Design applications with microservices and a containerization mindset with ‘decoupling’ architectural principles.
• Caching with Valkey/Redis: TTL strategies, invalidation, key design.
• CI/CD and IaC with GitHub, Git/GitHub workflows, ArgoCD.
• Security and reliability: IAM, KMS, secrets, VPC networking, observability (OpenTelemetry), SLOs, cost governance.
• Ability to solve complex data-driven requirements and triage towards defects and production bugs.
• Technology solutions and tools, including data governance and catalog solutions (e.g., Collibra, Alation, data platform and lake(house) (i.e., medallion’s architecture), and data mesh and virtualization tools (e.g., Starburst, Denodo).
• Experience in leading the evaluation of new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency. (“Buy” vs “Build”).

What Would Make You Stand Out:

• Hands-on experience building AI agents (e.g., using LangGraph or LlamaIndex), implementing RAG over enterprise data, and enforcing robust guardrails through rigorous testing and evaluation, including Agentic AIconnection protocols (e.g., MCP, A2A).
• Applying AI/ML to boost engineering productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) and using agentic AI to automate workflows such as code reviews, test generation, data quality checks, and runbook execution.
• Knowledge on SSO implementation and Azure AD (MS Entra) groups.
• Great communication and collaboration skills.
• Proven ability to drive innovation and install a culture of ‘continuous improvement’ that measurably improves business outcomes.
• Ability to communicate effectively & translate technical concepts to senior management & non-technical stakeholders.
