We’re building out our Data Engineering and Business Intelligence function and seeking a Data Engineering Manager to lead this growing area. This role is both strategic and hands‑on: you’ll define and execute our data strategy, oversee data infrastructure, and deliver insights that empower both internal decision-making and customer‑facing experiences. You’ll also directly manage and mentor a Data Engineer, shaping the future of how Gov Docs leverages data across the business.

You’ll thrive here if you’re equal parts strategist and builder: someone who can see the big picture while diving into details when needed. You’ll collaborate across teams, foster data‑driven decision making, and bring energy, curiosity, and a growth mindset to building a modern, scalable data function.

• Lead and grow the data function by defining the vision, roadmap, and priorities for data engineering and business intelligence in alignment with company strategy and business needs.
• Collaborate with business, product, and engineering teams to translate goals into actionable data products, reports, and dashboards that drive decision‑making.
• Implement and maintain best practices for data governance, security, and quality assurance aligned with SOC 2 and company standards.
• Design, build, and oversee scalable, reliable, and secure data systems and pipelines in Azure.
• Provide hands‑on technical leadership by reviewing design and code, contributing to architecture decisions, and driving a high standard of engineering quality.
• Mentor and develop team members, fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• 6+ years of relevant experience in data engineering, analytics, or business intelligence, including at least 2 years in a formal leadership role.
• Strong technical foundation in modern data engineering technologies with hands‑on experience using Azure services (Data Factory, Synapse, Function Apps), SQL, and Python.
• Proven ability to lead projects end‑to‑end—from scoping and prioritization through delivery—while establishing effective processes and methodologies for consistent execution.
• Experience developing and communicating a clear data strategy that aligns technical investments and initiatives with business goals.
• Demonstrated ability to design, build, and maintain scalable data lakes, pipelines, and BI solutions that serve both internal and customer‑facing needs.
• Solid understanding of data modeling, governance, and visualization practices, including dimensional modeling, DAX, data quality frameworks, and tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a coaching mindset and the ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes.

• You lead by example and share your passion to inspire those around you for growth. You are authentic, driven and positive.
• You possess emotional intelligence and empathy. You have a good sense of humor, are self‑aware and self‑critical, but not arrogant. You handle interpersonal dynamics with grace.
• You do more than the minimum to achieve outstanding results by being hands‑on and rolling up your sleeves when necessary.
• You thrive in a growth‑oriented company by embracing and adapting to changes easily. You are open‑minded and flexible.
• Your clear communication fosters understanding and collaboration. You express ideas effectively but are also an active listener.

We believe that the best way for us to grow is through a work environment that provides flexibility. Currently, our employees work together in our Eagan, MN office two days a week, where interactions happen with higher frequency and effectiveness to tackle complex problems. This supports collaboration, team engagement, and business innovation. At the same time, we value the benefits of working from home three days a week, where employees have more focused, uninterrupted time with minimal distractions for dedicated project and productive work.
