- Manage complex scope of work with multiple tracks in progress at a given time, including operational excellence operating in a true DevOps model.
- Contribute to architecture, coding, test plans, project plans, deployment planning, and operations to drive excellence and lead the team towards its goals.
- Partner with Program, Product, and Business teams to establish short-term goals and a long-term vision, including OKRs and other measurements of success.
- Develop growth plans with engineers based on opportunities, their interests, Nordstrom Competencies, and our Tech Talent Framework.
- Hire capable and motivated talent/teams that can deliver swiftly and predictably, adjusting in an agile fashion to deliver solutions aligned with business needs.
- Ensure the team has the tools, resources, and information they need to be successful.
- Own end-to-end cross-functional projects, including product definition, roadmap planning, resource planning, and project execution.
You own this if you have...
- 10+ years of data or software engineering industry experience, or similar.
- 5+ years of managing a team.
- A BA/BS in Computer Science or a closely related degree, or equivalent practical experience.
- Deep familiarity with multi-cloud ecosystems, including Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Azure.
- Experience in exploring and implementing AI and ML capabilities, specifically within data pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with relevant technologies such as Vertex AI for pipeline development and Looker for dashboarding and reporting.
- Direct experience with major Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms, specifically Oracle Cloud ERP (Fusion, MFCS, and IMCS), and integrating with their data models.
- Demonstrable experience owning and operating both business critical SaaS solutions and custom-coded systems servicing internal and external customers.
- As a leader, you are responsible for holding your teams accountable to engineering standards.
- Work closely with design advocates to review technology solution designs, ensuring they adhere and contribute to our standards.
