About The Position

As the Senior Manager, Data Engineering at Farther, you will own the data platform powering a modern, technology-driven wealth management firm — the security master, custodial pipelines, and canonical financial models every downstream system depends on. The platform is already in production. Your mandate is to take it much further: define the roadmap, own it end-to-end, and execute — growing the team and expanding what the platform makes possible across the firm, including the AI systems built on top of it.

Requirements

• 8+ years in data platform roles, with 4+ years managing data teams
• Deep security master experience — instrument reference data, corporate actions, multi-vendor golden-source resolution
• Prior experience on the data team at a broker/dealer
• Exceptional data modeling skills — schemas that are correct, extensible, and built to last
• Strong hands-on expertise with PostgreSQL, AWS, and Python

Nice To Haves

• Experience running a global or distributed data team
• Bitemporal or point-in-time financial data modeling
• Data governance, lineage, and fine-grained access control
• Experience supporting AI/ML systems with production data products

Responsibilities

• Own and execute the data platform roadmap — from custodial ingestion through the security master to AI-ready data products
• Lead and grow the data engineering team, setting the bar for technical quality
• Own the firm's security master: reference data, corporate actions, and golden-source resolution across vendors
• Design canonical models unifying accounts, positions, and transactions across Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, and other custodians
• Drive data quality, reconciliation, lineage, and governance across regulated datasets

Benefits

• Learn & grow through book clubs, seminars, and peer learning sessions
• Competitive comp package that rewards impact
• Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
• Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
• Chart your own growth path as we expand
• Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
• Unlimited PTO
• An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together
