Remote Storage Engineer Jobs in Edison, NJ (NOW HIRING)

The Lead Data Engineer on the Nebula team plays a significant technical leadership role in shaping and scaling the data foundation that powers analytics, reporting, AI development, and operational decision-making across the organization. This role combines hands-on data engineering execution with practical team leadership, helping the organization build reliable, flexible, and production-ready data systems. 

The Lead Data Engineer heads a lean, high-caliber squad of data engineers, while remaining deeply hands-on in the design, development, and operation of core data systems. The role balances direct technical contribution with mentoring, coaching, coordination, and day-to-day support for the engineers on the squad. 

Working across ingestion, transformation, storage, modeling, orchestration, and delivery, this role partners closely with Product, Engineering, AI, Analytics, and domain Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to translate complex business processes into scalable data platforms, pipelines, and trusted datasets. 

This role owns the technical direction for core data capabilities, including ETL/ELT, batch and real-time processing, OLTP and OLAP systems, BI-ready data models, and cloud-based data infrastructure in a regulated, high-stakes environment. Success requires strong architectural judgment, operational discipline, and the ability to raise the technical bar for both systems and people.

This is a fully remote position that offers a competitive salary range of $220,000 to $260,000 USD, plus an annual bonus. You'll also receive our excellent benefits package, which includes medical coverage starting on day one and a company-matched 401(k). Compensation may vary based on experience, location, and other job-related factors.
