Senior Manager, Data Engineering

The Role

As the Senior Manager, Data Engineering at Farther, you will own the data platform powering a modern, technology-driven wealth management firm — the security master, custodial pipelines, and canonical financial models every downstream system depends on.

The platform is already in production. Your mandate is to take it much further: define the roadmap, own it end-to-end, and execute — growing the team and expanding what the platform makes possible across the firm, including the AI systems built on top of it.

Your Impact

• Own and execute the data platform roadmap — from custodial ingestion through the security master to AI-ready data products
• Lead and grow the data engineering team, setting the bar for technical quality
• Own the firm's security master: reference data, corporate actions, and golden-source resolution across vendors
• Design canonical models unifying accounts, positions, and transactions across Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, and other custodians
• Drive data quality, reconciliation, lineage, and governance across regulated datasets

The Ideal Match

• 8+ years in data platform roles, with 4+ years managing data teams
• Deep security master experience — instrument reference data, corporate actions, multi-vendor golden-source resolution
• Prior experience on the data team at a broker/dealer
• Exceptional data modeling skills — schemas that are correct, extensible, and built to last
• Strong hands-on expertise with PostgreSQL, AWS, and Python
• A builder's mindset — energized by scaling a strong foundation into something category-defining

Technical Stack

• PostgreSQL, Python, SQL
• AWS (S3, Lambda, ECS Fargate, Glue, Athena, Step Functions)
• Parquet-based data lake, infrastructure-as-code (CDK), CI/CD-driven delivery
• AI/agent integrations built on the platform (Anthropic, AWS Bedrock)

Bonus Points

• Experience running a global or distributed data team
• Bitemporal or point-in-time financial data modeling
• Data governance, lineage, and fine-grained access control
• Experience supporting AI/ML systems with production data products
