Cuesta Partners is looking for a Data Technical Lead in Latin America with an interest in consulting, to work with our broad base of clients on various engagements, delivering data environments quickly using modern technologies and best practices, while mentoring others.

As a member of our data practice, you will have the unique opportunity to shape and build various green field areas, making a lasting impact on our clients’ data landscape. Collaborating closely with leadership, you will play a key role in establishing technology best practices to deliver analytical insights for customers in strategic domains. Your mission will be to deliver end-to-end data solutions, leveraging your expertise to unlock valuable insights and drive actionable decisions. As the driving force behind the acquisition and transformation of data sets, your contribution will be key to unlocking analytics insights from our client’s data. You will ensure that data models are reusable, data pipelines are scalable, and data visualizations are impactful.

• Proven 8-10 years experience as a Data Engineer or similar role, with a strong background in designing and implementing data solutions.

• Active, hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or similar) in your daily workflow — including building working prototypes, agentic pipelines, RAG systems, or LLM-powered data and analytics products — is a strong asset.

• Proficiency in data modeling, ETL processes, and data integration.

• Experience with modern data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric is a plus.

• Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to inspire and guide a technical team.

• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities.

• Effective communication skills, both technical and non-technical, with the ability to interact with clients and stakeholders.
