As an Engineering Manager in the Enterprise Data Office, you'll lead the engineering team behind some of the most consequential data and AI work at Capital Group. Your team builds the governed data products that CGMC, the Capital Operating Group, the Executive Office, and Business Councils rely on to run the business.
We're looking for a hands-on leader who sets the technical direction and builds alongside the team, with the curiosity to explore what AI can do for data and the judgment to know where it shouldn't. You’ll build the founding engineering team for CBI: hiring, coaching, and setting the operating model for how AI agents ship alongside them. This role is based in Southern California, with time across our Los Angeles and Irvine offices.
