Overview

Role Overview: The Lead Engineer holds day-to-day engineering leadership of the pod on this engagement. This role works daily with the onshore technical lead to review open questions, resolve ambiguity, and ensure the pod team has explicit, prioritized work at all times — at the start of each sprint and throughout it. The Lead Engineer serves as the primary technical liaison between the onshore Core Team and the hybrid internal team, translating backlog items into assignable tasks, tracking progress against sprint goals daily, and escalating blockers promptly.

This role carries technical and delivery accountability beyond task coordination. The Lead Engineer is expected to ask the clarifying questions that prevent rework, challenge ambiguity rather than work around it, and maintain a consistent pace of delivery across the pod.

• Lead daily check-ins with the pod to track progress against sprint goals, resolve blockers, and adjust task sequencing as priorities change.

• Design and build complex Databricks pipelines (Bronze through Gold) for financial and operational data, setting the technical standard for the pod.

• Own technical quality for the pod's output, including code review, data quality validation, and adherence to the platform's security model (RLS/CLS).

• Identify risks, dependencies, and scope gaps early, and escalate them to the onshore lead outside of standing meetings when necessary.

• Lead the pod's knowledge transfer from the onshore Integration & Middleware team on Boomi integration patterns (e.g., JDE-Concur, JDE-UKG), and plan the pod's transition to build, validation, and support responsibility for those integrations.
