About Document Crunch (a Trimble Company)

• Document Crunch is Trimble’s premier AI-powered risk intelligence platform, transforming how teams manage risk from bid to closeout. Powered by CrunchAI™, the platform ensures risk is identified, acted on, and transparent as work moves through an entire project. 

ROLE SUMMARY

• The Lead Data Engineer will own Document Crunch's end-to-end data platform and serve as the organization's primary data champion within Trimble's hub-and-spoke operating model. This is a hands-on technical leadership role responsible for modernizing the Document Crunch data estate, aligning it to Trimble enterprise standards, and enabling trusted analytics, product telemetry, operational reporting, and AI-powered decision support. The role combines deep data engineering execution with cross-functional leadership. The successful candidate will build and operate production data systems while partnering closely with Document Crunch Product and Engineering, go-to-market leaders, and the central Trimble Data Team. The position is expected to influence architecture and standards broadly without requiring an initial people-management mandate.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

• Document Crunch needs a single accountable owner for data architecture, pipelines, modeling, quality, observability, governance, and analytics enablement. • Post-acquisition integration requires a dedicated technical bridge between Document Crunch and the central Trimble Data Team. • Reliable product, customer, revenue, marketing, and support data is foundational to executive visibility and operating decisions. • AI agents and conversational analytics require governed data, stable semantic definitions, and production-grade orchestration - not disconnected dashboards or one-off queries. • A code-driven integration approach can establish a repeatable M&A data playbook for Trimble.

Key Responsibilities

1. Data Platform Architecture and Modernization

• Own the technical architecture and roadmap for Document Crunch data systems in alignment with business priorities and Trimble enterprise standards.

• Lead the migration from Redshift to Snowflake as the unified enterprise cloud data platform, including source assessment, target design, migration sequencing, validation, and cutover.

• Build and maintain ingestion pipelines, warehouse models, transformation layers, orchestration, data contracts, and deployment workflows using warehouse-as-code practices.

• Establish patterns that are maintainable, observable, secure, and reusable across teams and future integrations.

2. Product Telemetry and Enterprise Integration

• Implement standardized telemetry on priority Document Crunch product and data pipelines to produce reliable product-usage data.

• Integrate Document Crunch CRM and operational data into Trimble DX and relevant enterprise master-data processes.

• Map Document Crunch data into Trimble processed-layer and Customer 360 master entities, including Account, Opportunity, Support, and related domain models.

• Partner with central teams on Master Data Management pilots, survivorship rules, account cleansing, identity resolution, and reconciliation.

3. Data Modeling, Quality, and Observability

• Define scalable dimensional, domain, and semantic data models that support analytics, operational reporting, and AI consumption.

• Implement layered data-quality controls through dbt tests, business-rule validation, orchestration-level asset checks, and pipeline alerting.

• Integrate enterprise observability capabilities, including table freshness, volume anomalies, schema drift, lineage, and incident response.

• Set service expectations for data freshness, reliability, completeness, and recovery.

4. Governance, Cataloging, and Shared Definitions

• Onboard Document Crunch metadata into the enterprise catalog and establish a practical business glossary, ownership model, and lineage standards.

• Document business logic, metric definitions, data contracts, and source-of-truth decisions for both human and AI-agent consumption.

• Partner with Security, Privacy, Legal, and enterprise Data Governance teams to apply appropriate access controls, retention practices, and policy requirements.

5. Analytics, BI, and Self-Service Enablement

• Own the strategy and technical foundation for executive dashboards and self-service analytics across revenue, marketing, customer success, product, and operations.

• Evaluate and rationalize BI tools, data products, and reporting workflows to reduce duplication and inconsistent metrics.

• Enable product managers and business teams to answer routine questions independently while preserving governed definitions and access controls.

6. AI-Enabled Data Products

• Develop the data and semantic foundation for conversational analytics, AI agents, natural-language querying, and AI-assisted dashboard creation.

• Align Document Crunch orchestration and agent capabilities with Trimble strategies such as Snowflake Cortex Search, Cortex Agents, and enterprise NLP frameworks.

• Build or integrate secure interfaces—including MCP-style services where appropriate—that allow approved AI systems to discover and use governed data assets.

7. Hub-and-Spoke Leadership

• Serve as Document Crunch's primary technical and operational contact for the Trimble Data Team.

• Translate central standards into practical implementation plans for Document Crunch and surface product-specific requirements back to enterprise teams.

• Lead cross-collaboration workshops, architecture reviews, roadmap alignment, and knowledge exchange with Data Ops, Analytics, Product, Engineering, and GTM stakeholders.

• Codify the Document Crunch integration into a reusable, code-driven M&A Data Integration Playbook.
