Lead Data Engineer

As an Engagement Manager at BOT Consulting you will both lead client engagements and own the vision for BOT Consulting Delivery Methodology. You will lead the day to day execution of client projects while guiding and developing individual team members on your team. You’ll work directly with clients – usually remotely – and you’ll take ownership of the overall project and its end products. You will have the opportunity to build on your proven leadership skills and leverage your interest in inspiring others, building strong relationships, and creating a true followership. You’d be joining a team of passionate, forward thinking engineers and data scientists who are charting a new course. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but also operate autonomously with little direction. Your superior problem solving, analytical, quantitative and conceptual thinking skills and strong interpersonal and communication skills will ensure successful client projects and team performance. You will find a culture rich in collaboration, personal development and one that recognizes and pursues the zest for life.
