Senior Engineering Manager, Data Fabric

At Advisor360°, we build technology that transforms how wealth management firms operate, scale, and serve their clients. As a leading SaaS platform in the fintech space, we’re trusted by some of the largest independent broker-dealers and RIAs to power the full advisor and client experience—from portfolio construction and reporting to compliance and client engagement. 

What sets us apart? It's not just the tech (though it's best-in-class). It's the people, the purpose, and the passion behind everything we do. 

We’re a team of builders, thinkers, and doers who believe that great companies are defined by the stories they tell and the experiences they create—internally and externally. We bring deep industry expertise, a collaborative spirit, and a commitment to innovation as we reshape what’s possible in wealth management. 

As we grow, we’re looking for teammates who are ready to roll up their sleeves, think big, and help elevate our brand in a way that reflects the bold ambitions we have for our company and the clients we serve. Join us, and be part of a company that's not only moving fast—but making it count. 

This role is hybrid, requiring three days per week onsite in our Needham, MA headquarters.  

Advisor360° is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Data Fabric team. This will be a senior people leader who sits at the intersection of technical depth, data governance, and organizational influence. This is not a role for someone who wants to stay in their lane. You'll own the development and reliability of the data infrastructure that powers our entire platform, lead a team of up to 12 engineers, and serve as a strategic voice for data across the company.

You'll drive both execution and culture: running data development with the rigor of a software organization while building the kind of team that takes extreme ownership, moves fast, and ships with confidence. If you thrive at the intersection of high-stakes infrastructure, cross-functional partnership, and servant leadership — this is the role.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

•  Lead and Grow a High-Performing Team
• • Lead, coach, and grow a team of up to 12 data engineers — setting a high bar for quality, ownership, and craft while actively enabling individual growth.
  • Run data development like a software organization: full SDLC adherence, CI/CD pipelines, structured dev/test/prod environments, sprint planning, Jira-based change management, and clear prioritization.
  • Hire great engineers who level up the team, and build the kind of culture where people do their best work.
  • Maintain team health, morale, and productivity as the ecosystem around you evolves quickly.
• Own the Data Products Infrastructure
• • Lead the development, delivery, and ongoing maintenance of Advisor360°'s core data products infrastructure — the shared foundation that underpins all data deliverables across the organization.
  • Build and evolve the frameworks and methodologies that enable independent teams to develop their own data products while adhering to unified governance, quality, and architectural standards.
  • Own low-latency data pipeline development end to end, including tooling, monitoring, alerting, and maintaining a unified view across data sources.
  • Drive lifecycle management of enterprise data products serving internal teams, platform capabilities, and client-facing solutions.
• Champion Data Quality and Governance
• • Embed data quality, observability, ownership, and governance into every layer of the stack as a foundational design principle.
  • Establish and enforce trust frameworks that ensure data accuracy, lineage, and compliance across the enterprise.
  • Partner with compliance, risk, and security teams to ensure all data practices meet regulatory and industry standards.
  • Manage the support and maintenance of the data products that the team owns.
• Drive Strategic Influence Across the Company
• • Partner closely with engineering, product, finance, go-to-market, and operations stakeholders to ensure data capabilities align with business objectives.
  • Serve as a company-wide advocate for data as a strategic asset — influencing technology decisions, product roadmaps, and organizational priorities.
  • Lead change management efforts that drive adoption of modern data practices and a shared data culture across all teams.
  • Work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, aligning on scope and setting clear, realistic expectations on delivery timelines.
  • Measure and maintain alignment between data management operations such as data products manufacturing, engagement, and the business value derived from the data products.
  • Ensure data management activities, specifically data product creation and use, are aligned with and demonstrably contribute to achieving the expected business value.

What You Bring to the Table:  

• Experience and Leadership
• • 8+ years of progressive experience in data engineering or data platform development, with at least 5+ years leading and growing data engineering teams.
  • Demonstrated track record in building and leading teams that have produced, published, and maintained data products consumed by multiple stakeholders or business units.
  • Delivered and supported mission-critical, highly available services in production environments — you know what it means to own uptime.
  • Experience driving cross-organizational change management: rolling out new platforms, frameworks, or ways of working across a company.
  • Familiarity with medallion architecture, semantic layers, and data modeling. 
• Technical Depth

You are not expected to be the architect. You are expected to have sufficient technical fluency to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, evaluate trade-offs, and keep the team moving.
That includes:

• Cloud Data Platforms
• • Snowflake (required), Databricks, Microsoft Azure Data Services 
• Cloud Computing
• • Azure (e.g. Azure Function, AKS, etc.), with familiarity across GCP and/or AWS
• Data Pipeline Development
• • Azure Data Factory, dbt, Python, PySpark, REST / GraphQL microservices; real-time event-driven architectures using Kafka, Orkes, and Databricks
• Data Infrastructure
• • SQL Server, relational and analytical data stores (e.g. Postgresql); stream and batch pipeline design, Graph databases
• Data Quality & Governance
• • Profiling, validation, remediation frameworks; cataloging, lineage, policy enforcement, and metadata management
• Data Observability
• • Monitoring, alerting, and operational visibility across the data estate
• Engineering Practices
• • SDLC methodologies (Agile, DevOps), code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, and CI/CD
  • Knowledge of using GenAI tools (e.g Claude or Augment) to speed up development.

Mindset and Approach

• • Servant leadership: you lead by removing obstacles, elevating your team, and creating the conditions for others to do their best work.
  • Extreme ownership: you own outcomes end-to-end, take accountability without hesitation, and instill that same mindset in your team.
  • Systems thinking: you see the whole board: how infrastructure, governance, team dynamics, and business strategy connect and influence each other.
  • Exceptional communication: able to translate complex data concepts clearly for engineers, product teams, and the C-suite alike.
  • Business acumen: you understand the business context behind the data, and you use that understanding to prioritize what matters most.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and evolving requirements; you know how to deliver a winning product even when the ground is shifting.

Nice to Have

• • Familiarity with financial data sets and experience working with or producing high-quality finance/fintech data from multiple sources.
  • Knowledge of complex financial products in a wealth management or broker-dealer context.
  • Experience with AI-based automation for code quality improvement, predictive analytics, or data-driven decision-making.
  • Experience leading teams distributed across multiple time zones.
  • Technical expertise in designing and scaling distributed systems architecture.
