For more than 140 years, Johnson Controls has delivered performance where it really matters. Backed by advanced technology, lifecycle services and an industry-leading field organization, we elevate customer performance, turn goals into real-world results and help move society forward.\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive salary and bonus opportunity\nComprehensive benefits package\nPaid vacation, holidays, and sick time\nExtensive product and on-the-job training\nEncouraging and collaborative team environment\nDedication to safety through our Zero Harm policy\nOpportunities to lead an enterprise data capability with broad organizational impact\nWhat you will do\nThe Data Ingestion Leader is accountable for the strategy, architecture, engineering, delivery, and operational reliability of enterprise data ingestion capabilities. This role owns the enterprise-wide ingestion layer, providing a standardized, scalable, secure, and reusable capability for acquiring structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from enterprise source systems into the enterprise data platform.\nYou will establish reusable ingestion patterns that make onboarding a new data source primarily a configuration-driven activity rather than a custom engineering project. You will ensure that data arrives reliably and securely while meeting agreed freshness and availability service-level agreements.\nHow you will do it\nEnterprise Data Ingestion Strategy\nOwn the enterprise roadmap and strategy for data ingestion.\nEstablish common ingestion patterns for batch, streaming, API, file, database, software-as-a-service, and event-based sources.\nDrive standardization and reuse across business domains and source-system technologies.\nEliminate unnecessary point-to-point integrations and duplicate ingestion solutions.\nPartner with Enterprise Architecture and platform leadership to align ingestion patterns with enterprise data architecture principles.\nIngestion Framework and Engineering\nBuild and operate a reusable, metadata- and configuration-driven ingestion framework that accelerates source onboarding and minimizes custom development.\nEstablish engineering standards for schema detection and evolution, incremental and change data capture processing, restart and recovery, idempotency, data validation, reconciliation, observability, logging, error handling, metadata capture, security, and encryption.\nDevelop reusable connectors and templates for strategic enterprise source platforms.\nApply consistent engineering practices to improve scalability, maintainability, security, and operational support.\nSource Onboarding and Intake\nEstablish a documented intake and prioritization process for new ingestion requests.\nPartner with source-system owners to understand availability, interfaces, refresh requirements, data volumes, dependencies, and business criticality.\nDefine onboarding standards and acceptance criteria that must be met before production deployment.\nMaintain an enterprise source inventory that identifies the owner, refresh cadence, criticality, and sensitivity classification of each feed.\nReliability, Service Levels, and Observability\nDefine and publish data freshness and availability service-level agreements for downstream teams.\nImplement proactive ingestion monitoring and alerting so failures are identified before they affect downstream consumers.\nOwn pipeline reliability, incident response, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action delivery.\nEstablish dashboards covering pipeline health, freshness, latency, throughput, failures, and service-level attainment.\nApply DataOps and site reliability engineering practices to continuously improve ingestion reliability.\nData Quality and Governance at Ingestion\nImplement automated data validation as information enters the platform.\nEnsure source-to-Bronze reconciliation and ingestion completeness.\nAutomate the capture of technical metadata and lineage wherever possible.\nEnsure ingestion pipelines follow applicable security, privacy, retention, and data governance standards.\nPartner with Data Governance and Data Stewards on classification, ownership, sensitivity, and lifecycle requirements.\nEnsure Bronze-layer data complies with applicable enterprise controls.\nLifecycle and Technical Debt Management\nOwn the execution of ingestion-related retention and lifecycle requirements.\nMonitor unused datasets and manage their archival or removal according to defined policies.\nIdentify and retire legacy, manual, and unsupported ingestion mechanisms.\nMaintain a modernization roadmap for high-risk or unsupported ingestion interfaces.\nTeam Leadership\nLead and develop a high-performing team of ingestion engineers and technical leads.\nEstablish clear engineering standards, code-review practices, and technical ownership.\nBuild team capabilities across cloud data engineering, APIs, streaming, change data capture, DevOps, DataOps, and automation.\nEstablish engineering capacity planning and delivery accountability.\nFoster a culture of automation, reuse, engineering excellence, continuous improvement, and operational ownership.\nStakeholder and Delivery Management\nPartner closely with source-system owners, Enterprise Architecture, Data Platform Strategy and Standards, Data Governance, Data Operations, and domain data delivery leaders.\nCollaborate with Cybersecurity, Privacy, Infrastructure, Cloud, business, and analytics teams to deliver secure and reliable ingestion capabilities.\nManage stakeholder expectations, dependencies, risks, priorities, and delivery commitments across enterprise initiatives.\nSupport vendor management and technology decisions related to enterprise ingestion capabilities.\nWhat we look for\nRequired\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Management, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.\nAt least 10 years of experience in data engineering, data integration, data platforms, or adjacent disciplines.\nAt least five years of experience leading technical teams, major platforms, programs, or engineering capabilities.\nDemonstrated experience designing and operating enterprise-scale data ingestion architectures.\nStrong understanding of ETL and ELT, APIs, change data capture, event and streaming architectures, data lakes and lakehouses, data warehousing, metadata, lineage, data quality, observability, and cloud data platforms.\nExperience applying CI/CD, DevOps, and DataOps practices to production data pipelines.\nDemonstrated enterprise architecture thinking, strategic planning, engineering excellence, and operational ownership.\nStrong people leadership, stakeholder management, problem-solving, change leadership, risk management, and continuous-improvement capabilities.\nPreferred\nExperience with Snowflake and Microsoft Azure.\nExperience with Azure Data Factory or Fabric Data Factory.\nExperience with Databricks.\nExperience with Kafka or other event-streaming platforms.\nExperience with APIs and API management platforms.\nExperience with change data capture technologies.\nExperience integrating data from SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce.\nProficiency with SQL and Python.\nExperience with Git-based CI/CD practices.\nExperience with enterprise data observability and monitoring platforms.\nExperience managing technology vendors and strategic delivery partners.\nSALARY RANGE: $145,000 - $200,000 (Salary to be determined by the education,
