This person has the authority to set priorities, the technical depth to lead the architecture, and the judgment to know when to build and when to delegate.\nThis is a hands-on management role: part people manager, part senior architect/builder. The person in this seat manages the Analytics Engineering team, oversees the quality and pace of its work, and acts as lead architect on selected platform initiatives, setting architecture and sequencing for work spanning Analytics Engineering and the data infrastructure they depend on. They are also expected to propose and drive changes that help the team deliver faster and more efficiently. When the work calls for it, they build alongside the engineers delivering it - not as additional throughput, but as the senior technical voice shaping how it gets built. Their time is split between leading the team, architecting selected initiatives, and building, and the balance shifts with what is blocking delivery.\nWhat You'll Do:\nTeam Leadership and Delivery\nLead, coach, and develop the Analytics Engineering team: set clear expectations, run planning and prioritization, give regular feedback, and support hiring, performance, and career growth.\n\nOversee the team's delivery: review designs and code, track commitments against dates, and raise risks and trade-offs early.\n\nPropose and drive ways for the team to go faster and spend less effort per delivery, such as better tooling, automation, shared standards, and AI-assisted workflows, and see the adopted ones through to completion.\n\nDecide where to build directly, where to delegate, and where to step in as lead architect, based on what is actually blocking delivery.\n\nPlatform Architecture and Technical Direction\nLead the architecture for key horizontal projects in close partnership with the team. Accountable for taking initiatives to the finish line.\n\nMake and document the sequencing calls on team initiatives: what gets finished, what gets deferred, and what gets stopped.\n\nProvide senior technical review on architecture decisions before Tala commits engineering capacity to them.\n\nDesign for governance and compliance from the outset (Tala operates under distinct regulatory regimes).\n\nClear dependency chains and unblock ICs across teams by removing tech debt, resolving ambiguity, and forcing decisions to closure.\n\nHands-On Build\nBuild production data assets, services, and tooling directly when it is the fastest way to unblock delivery; such as models, pipelines, SDKs or agent harnesses.\n\nWork alongside the Analytics Engineering team's engineers on shared initiatives, adding senior capacity to work that is currently single-threaded through individual engineers.\n\nOwn end-to-end delivery of specific platform assets, whether built directly or by the team.\n\nAI-Native Analytics Workflows\nDefine and set standards for how Tala's Analytics functions use AI in daily workflow - code generation, model development, documentation, testing, and self-serve analysis.\n\nBuild the context and guardrail layer that lets AI agents query governed metrics safely, so capability and compliance ship together rather than sequentially.\n\nMove the organization from experimentation to adopted practice with documented patterns and best practices.\n\nTechnical Leadership\nRaise the technical bar through design review, pairing, and documented standards.\n\nReduce friction to access and understand data; treat data education and documentation as core deliverables, not afterthoughts.\n\nDevelop senior engineers into technical leads so that architecture ownership spreads further across the team.\n\nWhat You'll Need:\n8+ years in analytics engineering, data engineering, or data platform roles, including at least 2+ years of managing engineers directly.\n\nDemonstrated ownership of a semantic layer, metrics layer, or equivalent governed-metric platform at organizational scale.\n\nTrack record of shipping horizontal data infrastructure across different business units.\n\nExperience acting as the end-to-end \"glue\" across data generation, transformation, consumption, and metric definition, rather than owning one narrow slice.\n\nComfort operating in a hybrid manager / senior architect / hands-on builder shape and switching modes based on what is actually blocking the work.\n\nTrack record of managing and developing engineers: setting priorities, giving feedback, hiring, and keeping delivery predictable.\n\nTechnical Skills\nExpert SQL and strong Python.\n\nDeep experience with a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake preferred) and with dbt or equivalent transformation frameworks, including incremental strategy, testing, and performance and cost optimization.\n\nHands-on experience with semantic layer technologies - warehouse-native semantic models, BI semantic layers, headless BI APIs, or equivalent.\n\nWorking knowledge of LLM and agent tooling applied to analytics workflows.\n\nExperience with modern BI and notebook environments (Omni, Looker, Hex, Databricks, Tableau or similar).\n\nData observability and quality tooling; automated testing and CI/CD for data.\n\nJudgment and Leadership Skills\nAble to make architecture calls under ambiguity, document the reasoning, and hold the line against expedient workarounds.\n\nAble to influence senior technical and business peers\n\nAble to coach engineers, give direct feedback, and hold a high bar while keeping the team motivated\n\nStrong written and verbal communication; comfortable producing the design docs and decision records that make direction durable.\n\nBalances stakeholder demand against the real cost of producing and storing data.\n\nMindset\nBias toward shipping. Discovery is a means to delivery, not a deliverable.\n\nWilling to be persistent about follow-through when initiatives lose momentum.\n\nTreats tech debt and small daily quality-of-life wins as legitimate priorities, not chores.\n\nAnticipates what data consumers will need before they ask.\n\nComfortable being the newest person in the room and still making the call.\n\nMeasures success by what the team ships rather than by personal output, and delegates readily.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6291,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nonprofits & Foundations"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T21:20:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.613,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":54,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["seen:54","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/texans-against-lawsuit-abuse-analytics-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/texans-against-lawsuit-abuse-analytics-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T23:03:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32378,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8455},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8455"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftexans-against-lawsuit-abuse-analytics-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftexans-against-lawsuit-abuse-analytics-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftexans-against-lawsuit-abuse-analytics-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/texans-against-lawsuit-abuse-analytics-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftexans-against-lawsuit-abuse-analytics-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3294573}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tala.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3294573},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
