INTRODUCTION
We are looking for a Manager of Data & AI Engineering who combines deep technical expertise with strong delivery leadership and people management. This role will drive the build-out of our next-generation autonomous data intelligence platform for Supply Chain Operations — from identifying high-impact opportunities to architecting, building, and productionizing solutions that deliver measurable business value. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in architecture and engineering while demonstrating the ability to manage a high-performing team. This person will partner with business collaborators, translate operational challenges into data and AI solutions, and deliver at pace.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What you'll be doing:
- Design and build scalable data and AI platforms using Databricks, AWS, and modern cloud-native engineering patterns.
- Deliver robust ETL/ELT, streaming, and CDC pipelines using technologies such as Spark, Kafka, Delta Lake, and AWS-native services.
- Enable delivery of AI-powered use cases including RAG applications, AI agents, tool-calling workflows, and data-driven web apps.
- Design data models using Star Schema, Snowflake Schema, and Data Vault patterns appropriate to the use case — optimizing for analytical query performance, data governance, and extensibility.
- Implement data quality frameworks, observability, alerting, and monitoring to ensure pipeline integrity and production reliability.
- Build the data foundation for GenAI, agentic AI, and advanced analytics initiatives, including RAG pipelines, vector search, knowledge graphs, and multi-agent orchestration patterns.
- Partner with product, business, analytics, and AI collaborators to translate requirements into secure, scalable, and production-ready solutions.
- Oversee resource planning, prioritization, project execution, and delivery across multiple concurrent initiatives, and mentor engineers, grow technical capability across the team, and develop a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership across architecture, design reviews, implementation guidance, and production readiness, and handle the full lifecycle of data engineering projects — from discovery and planning through execution and production rollout.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
What we need to see:
- Master's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
- 10+ overall years in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or web application development, with at least 4+ years specifically in a leadership or engineering management role.
- Willingness to Code. You are still a builder at heart. You are excited to spend your time writing code, prototyping, and building production systems alongside your team.
- AWS Proficiency. Intimate knowledge of the AWS ecosystem, including Amazon S3, EC2, IAM, Lambda, and API Gateway.
- Agentic AI & LLM Mastery. Proven experience operationalizing Large Language Models (LLMs) into autonomous agents that can plan, use tools, and implement multi-step workflows.
- Databricks Mastery. Proven deep expertise in Apache Spark, PySpark, Delta Lake, and Databricks Workflows. Hands-on experience scaling Unity Catalog is highly preferred.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Active Databricks Certifications (e.g., Data Engineer Professional, Generative AI Engineer Associate).
- Active AWS Certifications (e.g., Certified Data Engineer – Associate or Solutions Architect – Professional).
- Background in managing multi-functional teams that blend data engineers with front-end and back-end software developers.
- Knowledge of supply chain business processes for Plan, Make, Deliver & Services.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 200,000 USD - 322,000 USD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until October 27, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an AI Data Engineer
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
DOL requires your degree field to directly relate to the AI Data Engineer role. A computer science or data engineering degree maps cleanly, but if yours is in a tangential field, document how your coursework covers machine learning pipelines, distributed systems, or cloud data architecture.
Target employers with active LCA filing histories
U.S. employers file a Labor Condition Application with DOL before sponsoring any E-3 visa. Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to confirm a prospective employer has filed LCAs for data engineering or AI roles before approaching them.
Search for E-3 sponsorship roles on Migrate Mate
Most job boards don't filter by visa type, so you end up cold-applying to roles where sponsorship was never on the table. Migrate Mate surfaces AI Data Engineer roles specifically listed with E-3 sponsorship, cutting out the guesswork before you invest time in applications.
Negotiate LCA filing into your offer timeline
The LCA must be certified by DOL before your visa application, which adds roughly one to two weeks to the timeline. Raise this during offer negotiation so your start date accounts for LCA certification and consulate appointment scheduling, not just your notice period.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to coordinate LCA and consulate prep
E-3 applications involve the employer filing the LCA and you filing the DS-160 and attending a consulate interview. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment, reducing coordination errors that can delay your start date.
Prepare for specialty occupation questions at your consulate interview
Consular officers may probe whether your AI Data Engineer role genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher. Bring documentation showing the technical depth of the role, such as your job description referencing specific ML frameworks, data pipeline tools, or cloud platforms, alongside your degree transcripts.
E-3 Visa AI Data Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find AI Data Engineer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Most job listings don't specify visa sponsorship type, making it hard to know whether an employer will support an E-3 before you apply. Migrate Mate filters roles by E-3 sponsorship availability, so you can search AI Data Engineer positions where employers have already indicated willingness to sponsor, saving you from dead-end applications.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an AI Data Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, AI Data Engineer roles consistently qualify because they require theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge, typically a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, data engineering, or a closely related field. The DOL and USCIS assess specialty occupation on a case-by-case basis, so your job offer letter should specify the degree requirement and the technical complexity of the role.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for AI Data Engineers?
For Australian nationals, the E-3 is significantly more practical than the H-1B visa. The H-1B has an annual cap of 85,000 slots and a randomized lottery, meaning many qualified engineers wait years or never get selected. The E-3 has a separate 10,500 annual allocation that has never been fully used, so there's no lottery and no waiting period once you have a qualifying job offer.
Can I switch employers after starting work on an E-3 as an AI Data Engineer?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa tied to that employer. You can begin work with the new employer once their LCA is certified and you've obtained updated E-3 documentation. There's no portability provision like the H-1B, so don't resign before the new employer's paperwork is in order.
