Yes. We’ve followed 3 other Senior Manager Data Engineering jobs there since April 2026. 3 came down, usually after about 9 days.
If this one keeps the same pace, it may come down around November 13.
Large employers often post one title for several teams, so these can be separate openings.
We file this job under Data Leadership, by the work the posting describes.
Data leaders run data teams or design how a company's data fits together. Managers hire, set priorities and answer for whether the data work pays off; architects choose the systems and the shape of the data.
Expect years of hands-on data work, experience leading people or projects, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to executives.
Unlike a senior engineer or analyst, most of a data leader's week goes to people, planning and decisions rather than building.
The government has no code for data leaders, so these figures are for the closest group, computer and information systems managers, which includes data processing and data operations managers.
