Most importantly, you can manage both up and down: setting realistic expectations with leadership while creating space for your engineers to do their best work.</span></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Responsibilities</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Team leadership</span>: Establish and manage team goals, set technical direction, and remove blockers</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Mentor data engineers:</span> Provide guidance on project architectural decisions, give feedback on code, and be a partner in guiding professional development</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Architecture decisions</span>: Oversee data infrastructure design that scales with newsroom needs while remaining flexible enough to pivot when priorities shift</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Stakeholder partnership</span>: Understand business needs and translate them into delivering value to Courier’s stakeholders, readers, and followers</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Hands-on engineering</span>: Contribute to pipeline codebases when necessary, peer review and give guidance on code development.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Technical strategy</span>: Balance speed and sustainability in a deadline-driven environment</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Technical Requirements</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Experience in the following areas:</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Python development and debugging</span>: Strong command of the language for data ingestion, transformation, and pipeline development</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Data Pipeline management</span>: Data modeling, orchestration, transformation, and query optimization at scale.
