Quick summary Lead a team of data engineers building scalable pipelines and platforms that power analytics, data science, and business decisions across Kin.
The opportunity We’re looking for a Data Engineering Manager to lead and evolve the systems that power data across Kin. This role exists to strengthen the foundation that enables Business Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning teams to move faster, make better decisions, and deliver meaningful impact to our customers.
You’ll lead a team of data engineers responsible for building reliable, scalable, and well‑governed data systems. At a moment of continued growth and increasing data complexity, you’ll help define how we scale our data platform while balancing immediate business needs with long‑term technical investments.
Your responsibilities
Lead and manage a team of ~6 data engineers, driving execution, performance, and career development
Own Kin’s data platform, including ingestion, storage, transformation, pipeline orchestration, and governance
Define and execute on a Data Engineering strategy that supports analytics, data science, and product use cases
Build and optimize scalable data pipelines and architectures using tools like Snowflake, Databricks, DBT, and Airflow
Partner closely with Engineering, Product, BI, and Data Science to deliver high‑impact data solutions

What success looks like In your first 6–12 months at Kin, success is less about checking boxes and more about the impact you create. You’ll use your skills and judgment to take ownership of meaningful work, improve how we operate, and help move Kin’s mission forward. Along the way, you’ll deliver outcomes that make a real difference for both Kinfolk and the homeowners we serve.
By the end of your first year, you should feel confident in your role, trusted as an owner, and proud of the progress you’ve helped make.
The data platform is more reliable, scalable, and easier for stakeholders to use across the business
Data pipelines are well‑tested, observable, and consistently meet performance and freshness expectations
Cross‑functional teams (BI, Data Science, Product) are unblocked and able to move faster with trusted data
The Data Engineering team is operating efficiently, with clear priorities, strong ownership, and high engagement
Your experience & skills
Experience leading and managing a data engineering team, ideally in a high‑growth or startup environment
Hands‑on expertise with modern data platforms such as Snowflake and/or Databricks
Experience building and maintaining data pipelines using tools like DBT, Airflow, DMS, or Airbyte
Familiarity with streaming data technologies such as Kafka or Flink
