  • Data Ingestion
  • Lead the data engineering teams responsible for ingesting data from monitoring and dispatch systems, telephony, business applications, and third-party vendors
  • Set standards for pipelines, orchestration, and integration patterns, and retire fragile point-to-point extracts
  • Manage onshore and offshore engineers, including prioritization, code quality, and delivery against commitments
  • Reporting and Analytics
  • Lead the reporting and analytics function, delivering dashboards, operational metrics, and self-service analytics to operations, finance, and executive leadership
  • Establish a common set of metric definitions so teams stop reconciling competing numbers
  • Partner with business leaders to turn questions about service levels, operator performance, and customer trends into durable data productsAI Model Integration
  • Build the data foundation for AI initiatives, including curated, governed datasets for machine learning and LLM-based applications
  • Partner with the technology team and business stakeholders to identify high-value AI use cases and move them from prototype into production
  • Define guardrails for data used in AI, including access controls, privacy, and model monitoring
  • Governance and Leadership
  • Establish data governance, security, retention, and access policies in partnership with Infrastructure and Security
  • Build, develop, and retain a multi-layered data organization, including managers and individual contributors
  • Own the data budget, vendor and tooling decisions, and roadmap, and report on progress and risk to executive leadership
Required Qualifications:
  • 12+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics, or data platforms, including 5+ years leading data organizations at the director level or above
  • Proven experience designing, building, and operating an enterprise data warehouse or lakehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks)
  • Deep understanding of data ingestion and integration patterns, including batch and streaming pipelines and orchestration tools
  • Track record delivering reporting and analytics at scale, including BI platforms and a governed metrics layer
  • Hands-on experience enabling AI and machine learning use cases with production data, including LLM-based applications
  • Strong grounding in data governance, security, privacy, and access control
  • Experience leading managers and blended onshore and offshore teams
  • Clear communicator who can translate data strategy and trade-offs for executives and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience in alarm monitoring, security, public safety, or another 24/7 operations environment
  • Experience with contact-center, telephony, or dispatch data
  • Experience migrating a data platform from on-prem systems (e.g., SQL Server) to the cloud
  • Background building a data function from an early stage, including setting up the team and tooling
  • Familiarity with industry standards and audits relevant to monitoring centers (e.g., UL, SOC 2)
What We Offer:
  • The chance to build the enterprise data foundation at a company where reliability protects people and property
  • Direct partnership with the CTO and senior leadership during a period of active modernization
  • Ownership of both the data platform and the AI strategy built on top of itCompetitive compensation and benefits
