QuantSpark is an award-winning AI and data consultancy, but we don't just advise, we build.

<h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
About the role</b></h1>
<p>
Cognite's European Delivery organisation is growing in both scale and technical ambition. As Manager of Data Engineering, you will lead, develop, and retain a team of Data Engineers operating across some of the most complex industrial AI engagements in the market &mdash; ensuring they are technically strong, professionally developed, and set up to deliver at the standard our customers expect.</p>
<p>
This is not a pure people management role. You will carry a meaningful delivery commitment &mdash; approximately 50% billable capacity &mdash; working on customer projects alongside your team. Your credibility as a manager depends on being a practitioner: you need to understand the work at depth in order to coach it, assess it, and<br>
raise the bar on it.</p>
<p>
You will be part of the Value Delivery (VD) Europe profession leadership team and work closely with Portfolio Managers, and cross-functional leaders across Value Delivery.</p>
<h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
How you'll demonstrate </b><b>Ownership</b></h1>
</div>
<div><p><b>People Development &amp; Performance</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Own the professional development of your Data Engineers spanning junior to seasoned Data Engineers, running structured 1:1s, calibrated performance reviews, and growth conversations grounded in the Data</li>
<li>Engineering framework.</li>
<li>Provide technically specific coaching &mdash; not generic management feedback. Your engineers should leave conversations with a clearer understanding of what good looks like and how to close the gap.</li>
<li>Identify and address skill gaps proactively, before they surface as delivery problems on customer engagements.</li>
<li>Build a team culture of ownership, technical rigour, and AI-first delivery &mdash; consistent with the behaviours defined in the EDF at every level</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Delivery Accountability</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Carry approximately 50% billable capacity on customer projects &mdash; this is a firm expectation, not a stretch target.</li>
<li>Review Statements of Work (SOWs) before your engineers are committed to them: assess scope fit, identify skill gaps, and flag delivery risks before they become customer problems.</li>
<li>Champion your team's interests in staffing decisions &mdash; actively match engineers to engagements where they can deliver and grow, not just where there is a vacancy to fill.</li>
<li>Act as an escalation point when delivery gets hard. Be the steady hand, not a passive observer.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Profession &amp; Team Building</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Contribute to standardising delivery practices across Value Delivery Europe &mdash; drive consistency in how we design, build, and document data engineering solutions.</li>
<li>Organise and lead professional development sessions relevant to the team's growth areas and project landscape.</li>
<li>Collect, prioritise, and escalate product feedback from your engineers and customers to the relevant internal teams.</li>
<li>Lead or contribute to hiring for your team &mdash; define what good looks like for each level and bring that standard to interviews and onboarding.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>AI-First Leadership</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Model and reinforce AI-first delivery practices across your team &mdash; not as a policy, but as a standard of work.</li>
<li>Hold your engineers to the AI fluency expectations defined in the EDF at each level: daily use, responsible validation, knowledge sharing, and continuous upskilling.</li>
<li>Stay current on AI tooling relevant to industrial data engineering and bring that knowledge into your team's practice.</li>
</ul>
</div><div></div><div><div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>What we are looking for</b></h1>
<p><b>
Required</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Proven hands-on data engineering background &mdash; production-grade Python, SQL, REST APIs, and cloud-native pipeline development. You must be able to review your team's technical work and have credible technical conversations with customers.</li>
<li>At least one year of meaningful association with Cognite's platform and products, with direct delivery experience on customer engagements. External candidates will not be considered for this role.</li>
<li>Demonstrated ability to develop people &mdash; not just manage tasks. You have concrete examples of engineers you have helped grow, with specific feedback that changed how they work.</li>
<li>Customer-facing confidence: you can hold a technical conversation with a senior customer stakeholder, translate engineering decisions into business language, and manage expectations under pressure.</li>
<li>Strong operational judgement: you can read a SOW, spot a risk, and have a difficult conversation about scope before it becomes a delivery failure.</li>
</ul>
</div></div><div><p><b>Strong Advantage</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Formal or informal people management experience &mdash; direct reports, tech leads, or structured mentorship programmes.</li>
<li>Deep Cognite Data Fusion expertise: data modelling, SDK development, AI/LLM integration patterns, deployment packs.</li>
<li>Experience working in a Value Delivery or professional services environment where you were simultaneously accountable for delivery and team capability. Familiarity with Cognite's EDF and comfort using it as a coaching and calibration tool.</li>
<li>Track record of hiring &mdash; you know what good looks like at different levels and you can articulate it clearly.</li>
</ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>How We Think About This Role</b></h2>
<p>
The best candidate for this role is an E3 Data Engineer &mdash; or equivalent &mdash; who is ready to multiply their impact through others, not just through their own technical output. Technical credibility is the foundation. A manager who cannot assess their engineers' work, engage meaningfully in SOW reviews, or hold a technical conversation with a customer will lose the team's respect quickly in this environment. People development is the job. The 50% delivery commitment is real &mdash; but the primary measure of success in this role is whether the Data Engineers on your team are growing, performing, and staying.</p>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Why This Role</b></h2>
<ul><li>High visibility within Cognite's European Delivery organisation &mdash; direct line to VP Delivery Europe.</li>
<li>Meaningful influence over how Data Engineering is practised and developed across VD Europe.</li>
<li>Ownership of a team at a critical growth stage &mdash; the work you do here shapes the function for years.</li>
<li>Part of a profession leadership team that is actively building something, not maintaining the status quo.</li></ul></div><div></div><div><br>
