You Will:

• Lead and scale a team responsible for large-scale data and ML infrastructure, supporting both real-time and batch processing systems

• Define and drive technical strategy across multiple squads, ensuring systems are reliable, scalable, and aligned with long-term business goals

• Guide the implementation of best-in-class engineering practices, including robust testing, SLAs, monitoring, and data quality enforcement

• Set a high bar for technical excellence, promoting clean architecture, code quality, and maintainability through code reviews and hands-on mentorship

• Coach and develop senior individual contributors, fostering an inclusive and high-performing engineering culture

• Act as a thought partner to cross-functional leaders in Product, Analytics, and Infrastructure, shaping roadmap priorities and delivering measurable business outcomes

• Continuously evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and methodologies to improve team efficiency and system performance

• Identify and resolve systemic issues in workflows, proactively recommending and implementing process improvements

• Actively recruit and retain top talent, manage performance and development, and scale team capacity through smart workforce planning.

• Demonstrate strong written and verbal communication, listening with empathy and sharing context with clarity across technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Champion operational excellence, ensuring system reliability and continuous improvement in delivery practices

You Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Engineering or related field

• 10+ years of experience in backend or data engineering, including deep expertise in data pipelines, distributed systems, and analytics infrastructure

• 3+ years of engineering leadership experience managing managers or senior technical leads.

• Strong command of SQL and Python, with practical experience using Databricks, Spark, Kafka, and/or other modern data platforms

• Proven track record of leading technical strategy, making architectural decisions, and delivering large-scale systems with cross-functional impact

• Experience hiring and growing senior engineering talent while fostering a high-performance, values-driven team culture

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with experience influencing both technical and executive audiences

• Demonstrated success aligning multiple teams around a shared vision and navigating ambiguity and organizational change

Nice to Have:

• Experience building ML platforms or enabling ML workflows in production

• Familiarity with customer data platforms, event instrumentation, or observability practices

• Prior work scaling infrastructure in a regulated or high-compliance environment (e.g., healthcare, fintech)

• Background in budget planning, vendor negotiations, or infrastructure cost optimization

Our Benefits (there are more but here are some highlights):

• Competitive salary & equity compensation for full-time roles

• Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days
