Contribute to the long-term vision and architecture of the data stack, focusing on scalability, reliability, and maintainability to support the growing needs of the business.

What you will need:

Experience building cloud-based data platforms (preferably on AWS), with the ability to manage high data volume and velocity.
Hands-on experience using industry standards such as Hadoop, Spark, Flink, Presto or similar big data tools.
Strong system design skills, with a proven track record of making sound engineering decisions.
