You will shape the foundations of the Data Management Platform, mentor engineers, and drive improvements in security, governance, and performance across the stack. This is a senior, impact-focused opportunity with broad scope.

Qualifications

• Anticipate future platform needs (capacity, performance, security, governance) and proactively evolve the platform accordingly.
• Define and enforce engineering standards, patterns, and reference architectures for data pipelines, storage, and processing.
• Be accountable for the technical delivery of complex, cross-team initiatives, including planning, risk management, and execution.
• Ensure operational excellence: observability, monitoring, incident prevention, and production stability across the platform.
• Lead root-cause analysis for major incidents and drive systematic improvements, not just fixes.
• Act as a technical lead and coach for multiple engineers, helping them grow in autonomy, design skills, and platform understanding.
• Mentor senior and less senior engineers, setting a high bar for engineering craftsmanship.
• Coordinate and guide the work of multiple contributors or a small group of teams, ensuring consistency and alignment.
• Foster a strong engineering culture: knowledge sharing, documentation, reuse, and continuous improvement.
• Translate complex technical topics into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to roadmap definition, technical feasibility assessments, and prioritization discussions.
