Glitch Lab WP. Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Lead Technologist (Project-Based)

Glitch Lab is a boutique consultancy that serves as a fractional data and innovation department for companies seeking external strategic expertise. We help organizations design, implement, and scale data-driven solutions that fuel growth and innovation.

The Role

We're looking for a Lead Technologist to oversee the execution of data and technology initiatives for our clients. This role is part strategic manager, part hands-on technical lead, ensuring that projects are delivered efficiently while maintaining high technical standards. You'll coordinate outsourced data engineers, analysts, and other technical experts, guiding them to execute our strategies while stepping in when necessary to troubleshoot or develop solutions yourself.

This is a project-based role, but for the right person, it could evolve into a long-term partnership in leading and growing Glitch Lab.

What You'll Do
  • Collaborate with the Principal Consultant to design experiments and translate them into roadmaps.
  • Own the technical execution of client projects, ensuring alignment with business goals.
  • Manage and coordinate outsourced teams of data engineers, analysts, and developers.
  • Oversee the architecture, implementation, and optimization of data pipelines, analytics solutions, and AI/ML initiatives.
  • Act as the main technical point of contact, providing strategic guidance and ensuring high-quality deliverables.
  • Step in to contribute hands-on (e.g., coding, debugging, optimizing workflows) when needed.
  • Identify new technologies and best practices to enhance Glitch Lab's offerings.
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with technical excellence.
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in a technical leadership role (Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field).
  • Strong expertise in data infrastructure, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and ETL/ELT processes.
  • Hands-on experience with SQL, Python, and modern data tools (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Spark, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
  • Experience with AI/ML deployment, MLOps, or real-time data processing.
  • Familiarity with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, QuickSight, etc.).
Nice-to-Have Skills
  • Experience managing distributed, outsourced, or offshore teams.
  • Ability to bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, project-based consulting environment.
  • Prior consulting or client-facing experience.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, with an interest in growing Glitch Lab's capabilities.
Why Work With Us?
  • Project-based flexibility, with the potential for a long-term partnership.
  • Work on diverse, high-impact data and innovation projects.
  • Lead a team of talented engineers and analysts without the burden of corporate bureaucracy.
  • Opportunity to shape and expand Glitch Lab's technical vision and strategy.
