Director of Engineering, Investment Data & Analytics

Selby Jennings Boston, United Kingdom



Director of Engineering, Investment Data & Analytics | Boston

We're looking for a highly hands-on technical leader who loves to code, gravitates toward analytical problems, and wants to help build a data and analytics function in a fast-moving, startup-style environment.



What You'll Do

  • Own the design and delivery of pipelines and data models across complex financial and economic datasets.
  • Build reliable and secure cloud data systems supporting investment, fund, and portfolio workflows.
  • Partner directly with investment and research teams to turn ambiguous business problems into working technical solutions.
  • Establish standards for data quality, lineage, observability, testing, and reliability.
  • Lead architecture, design, and code reviews while raising the engineering bar across the team.
  • Mentor engineers and lead through technical credibility and example.
  • Help rethink not only the underlying technology, but also how data and technology can improve investment processes and operating workflows.


What We're Looking For

  • 8+ years of experience across software engineering, data engineering, or related disciplines.
  • An exceptional coder who is excited to remain deeply hands-on.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills with experience building and operating production data platforms.
  • Experience with technologies such as Snowflake or equivalent cloud warehouses, dbt, Dagster/Airflow, and cloud data tooling.
  • Strong understanding of data modeling, ETL/ELT, data quality, testing, and production systems.
  • Excellent critical thinking, reasoning, and independent problem-solving abilities.
  • A product mindset with the ability to understand the business problem behind what you're building.
  • Someone who naturally gravitates toward data, analytics, data science, and analytically complex engineering problems.
  • Low ego, collaborative, and comfortable operating with significant autonomy.
  • Experience in a startup, private equity, investment management, or similarly high-ownership environment is particularly attractive.


The Environment

The Investment Data & Analytics organization works alongside investors and quantitative researchers on problems ranging from the digitization of unstructured data to systematic monitoring of private equity portfolios.

The team operates with a flat, agile, startup-style mentality. This is an environment for engineers who want to build, question assumptions, understand the domain deeply, and ultimately see their technology used by the business.
