Dimensional Management Engineer Jobs in Bothell, WA

Nordstrom - Engineering Manager, Product & Vendor Insights

In the Data & Analytics Services org, our teams build and maintain the data infrastructure that powers product, vendor, and merchandising decisions across Nordstrom. We ensure that every product in our catalog - from typecodes to pricing to item availability - is represented accurately, governed rigorously, and delivered reliably to the systems and teams that depend on it. Our Product & Vendor Insights team owns the enterprise product data layer that makes this possible.

Product data is the foundation of the Nordstrom shopping experience - and of the decisions made across merchandising, supply chain, personalization, and finance. When a style changes price, a new item enters the catalog, or a vendor relationship evolves, our pipelines are what make that change visible across the company. This team sits at the intersection of enterprise strategy and engineering precision - and the Engineering Manager will be its technical and people leader.

Role Summary

The Engineering Manager for Product & Vendor Insights owns one of the most consequential data domains in Nordstrom's enterprise: the product information layer that powers merchandising decisions, personalization, pricing analytics, vendor partner programs, and large-scale selling events and campaigns.

This is a high-visibility role with a broad stakeholder footprint - spanning merchandising, machine learning, digital product, supply chain, compliance, and external partner teams. You will lead a team of approximately 8 engineers (a mix of full-time and contract), drive platform modernization initiatives including a transition to medallion architecture and manage a growing brand partner data program that delivers data feeds for an expanding portfolio of strategic partnerships. You will report to the Director of Merchandising, Customer, and Marketing Reporting & Data Engineering.

A Day in the Life

• Lead a team of engineers building and operating the event-driven pipelines and cloud data warehouse products that power product, pricing, vendor, and promotions data across Nordstrom
• Own the enterprise product dimension layer - tens of millions of items across the full product hierarchy - consumed by machine learning, personalization, and downstream reporting teams
• Drive the brand partner data program: engineering the data feeds that onboard and sustain external brand partners onto Nordstrom's platform
• Deliver pricing and promotions data capabilities - pricing analytics, promotional event data, campaign-specific reporting views - in close partnership with merchandising and marketing stakeholders
• Lead platform modernization: medallion architecture migration, observability and monitoring tooling, data governance, and cloud infrastructure across a portfolio of event consumer services
• Partner with stakeholders across machine learning, digital product, compliance, partner programs, and supply chain to translate business requirements into scalable data products
• Contribute to architecture and design decisions - this is a hands-on role with real technical depth expected
• Recruit, develop, and retain engineering talent; provide direct feedback and coaching to help engineers grow
• Promote DevOps best practices: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), monitoring, alerting, and incident response

You Own This If You Have

• 5+ years of relevant software engineering experience, with strong foundations in event-driven systems, distributed data pipelines, or enterprise data products
• 2+ years of experience managing engineering teams

• Proven ability to ship reliable, scalable systems with high data quality standards
• BA/BS in Computer Science or closely related field, or equivalent practical experience

We're Also Looking For...

• Experience in retail, merchandising, supply chain, or vendor data domains
• Familiarity with event sourcing patterns, schema registries, Confluent Cloud platform management, or Apache Flink
