The RoleAs 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.

Your Impact- 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
