This organization is a large, well-established global distributor that quietly powers millions of businesses every day through technology, logistics, and data.

This is also a full time opportunity.

The hands-on Manager of Data Engineering role involves leading a small, senior team building modern, cloud-native data platforms that support machine learning, analytics, and finance.
