US Mobile is building the future of wireless communication. The goal: one unified network open to any person and any device, worldwide. Connection without walls.

We’re getting there by empowering customers. All three major networks on one phone and one plan, plus home internet from Starlink. No lock-in. No commitments. Custom fit plans at every price point. 24/7 customer support with real people, empowered to help. We get real-time feedback from Reddit, surveys, and customer support informing product roadmaps and everything we do. It’s working — Consumer Reports named us the top-rated mobile carrier two years in a row.*

And we’re building innovative systems that scale. A network agnostic tech stack. Agile, cross-functional teams built on trust and mutual respect. This work isn’t for everyone. If you work fast, flexibly, and collaboratively — without compromising standards — we want to hear from you.

We’re looking for an experienced Data Engineering Lead to architect, scale, and lead our data infrastructure. You’ll play a critical role in transforming how data flows across the organization — enabling advanced analytics, machine learning, and near-real-time decision-making. You’ll lead a small team of data engineers and collaborate closely with analysts, data scientists, and product teams to ensure data reliability, accessibility, and innovation.

  • Performance Optimization: Continuously enhance system efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Strategic Input: Influence the long-term data strategy — infrastructure modernization, data platform evolution, and cloud architecture.
