Principal Engineering Lead — Content & Data Pipeline

We believe in bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and the drive to transform knowledge into impact. Here, your curiosity fuels progress, your voice shapes innovation, and your ambition helps redefine what’s possible within science and learning. We are a culture that obsesses over impact, challenges, and drives what’s next to power infinite possibilities for our customers, colleagues and society at large.

About the Role:

This role leads Wiley's Content & Data Pipeline function — the platform that takes scholarly content (journals, articles, books) from a wide mix of sources through ingestion, processing, and enrichment, and delivers it to internal AI systems, RAG pipelines, and external customers under the right entitlements. It is a hybrid role: you set technical direction and stay hands-on with architecture and code where it matters, and you also manage and grow a team of engineers who own the day-to-day pipeline work.

sits alongside an existing dev lead who runs the current content ingestion and delivery pipeline; you take end-to-end ownership above that, expanding the platform to cover new source types, new delivery surfaces (especially internal AI / RAG and licensed external delivery), and higher standards of quality, freshness, and observability. The mandate spans the full content lifecycle — ingestion, transformation, enrichment, metadata management, rights-aware delivery, and vendor / supplier integration — across scholarly publications and books.
