<div class="content-intro">ABOUT ROCKET LAB Rocket Lab is the end-to-end space company building rockets, spacecraft, and critical subsystems that keep the world connected, protected, expand humanity’s reach to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. We move fast, build real hardware for meaningful missions, and make the impossible routine. Come shape the future with us.</div>Rocket Lab is searching for a Team Lead - Data Engineering to take charge of the data tools, systems, and platforms that enable our launch vehicles, spacecraft, simulations, and ground systems. If you love solving complex engineering problems, building high-reliability software, and leading talented developers this is your next mission.  Our software underpins everything: test and production systems, launch operations, research and development, automation, internal tools, and more. You’ll guide a team that shapes how engineers and operators access the information and functionality they need to build and launch world-class space systems.  WHAT YOU'LL LEAD <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="Aptos" data-listid="2"
