Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 4 years focused on data engineering, data platforms, or ETL in production • 2+ years leading engineers as a team lead or tech lead, including hiring, performance management, and growing others into technical leadership • Deep, current Node.js and TypeScript experience. This is a core requirement for the role; Python experience is a welcome addition alongside it • Deep experience designing and operating data pipelines on AWS, including serverless architectures • Hands-on production experience with Temporal.io, or a comparable durable workflow orchestration platform (for example Airflow, Dagster, or Step Functions) with a clear ability to ramp on Temporal quickly • Strong SQL and experience with relational databases and search technologies (for example PostgreSQL and OpenSearch or Elasticsearch) • A track record of building observability into data systems (structured logging, metrics, dashboards, alerting) and using it to reduce incidents • Experience leading incident response and running post-incident reviews that lead to lasting fixes • Evidence that you've built a team that delivers without you: delegation, ownership, and a team that is better because you were there • Experience making engineering outcomes measurable and visible to non-technical stakeholders • Composure under pressure. You keep discussions constructive when systems, clients, or timelines are under stress • Experience with financial instrument or market data and the reconciliation challenges that come with it • Experience in a regulated industry and familiarity with data privacy obligations such as PIPEDA • Experience with DataOps practices, data contracts, data lineage, or data quality frameworks • Experience using AI-assisted development tools as an established part of your own and your team's workflow, or building AI tools over internal data • Familiarity with Datadog or similar observability platforms • This is an existing vacancy. • At CapIntel, we design compensation with intention. Each role is assessed against the impact, skills, and experience it requires, and we align our pay to competitive market data so candidates know what to expect from the start. • Your final offer will reflect your experience, skillset, and location. The listed range is a guideline, and the range for this role may be modified. • Compensation at CapIntel goes beyond base pay. Depending on the role, total rewards may include variable pay, equity, comprehensive benefits, flexible time off, and dedicated opportunities for growth and development. • If you’d like to understand more about our approach, we’re happy to walk through it during the hiring process. • For roles based in or eligible to work from Ontario, the expected base salary range is: • $145,000—$170,000 CAD • Not sure you meet every requirement? • We care most about mindset: your drive, curiosity and commitment to delivering great work. While experience matters, we know that careers aren’t always linear. If this role excites you and you believe you can make an impact with us, we want to hear from you. • Why you'll enjoy working here • Learn more about life at CapIntel on our Careers page, including the virtues that inspire how we work and the perks and benefits designed to support your growth and well-being.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of data engineers day to day, matching people to work deliberately and planning capacity ahead of need rather than in reaction to it • Grow ownership and technical leadership across the team, so delivery, client onboarding, and production support do not depend on any single person, including you • Run performance management with clear expectations, and timely actions • Hire, onboard, and ramp new engineers so they are independent quickly, and handle transitions and handovers without disruption to clients • Own the platform • Own the architecture and health of the Data platform: serverless services, batch and streaming pipelines, legacy pipelines, search indexes, and durable workflow orchestration • Drive the evolution toward an enterprise-grade data architecture, covering data contracts, lineage, data quality checks, and DataOps practices • Build systematic, proactive monitoring of data flows so data quality issues are caught before a client or advisor sees them • Formalise and embed incident response for the team: on-call expectations, runbooks, severity classification, communication during incidents, and blameless post-incident reviews that actually change the system • Keep the quality bar high through design review, code review, testing discipline, and a definition of done the whole team holds each other to • Deliver for clients • Own client data onboarding and implementation work for the Data team, making it faster and more predictable for clients and other teams. • Partner with Product to translate client and advisor needs into data capabilities that create visible, positive moments for users, not just a platform that stays up • Contribute hands-on code to the platform, particularly on new systems, high-risk changes, and areas that need a reference implementation • Multiply beyond the team • Measure and communicate the team's outcomes (reliability, data quality, onboarding time, delivery predictability) so leadership, other teams, and clients can see the impact • Coach other teams on the workflow, observability, and data patterns the Data team owns, and contribute standards that other teams adopt because they work • Use AI tooling as a core part of how the team works, from development and review agents to internal knowledge tools, and help define how the team uses AI safely on financial data
