Drive Architecture & Technical Direction :

• Lead complex, multi‑quarter initiatives such as platform migrations, major refactors, and new data foundations.
• Balance data correctness, freshness, cost, and performance in real‑world production systems.

Ensure Reliability & Data Quality :

• Own SLAs/SLOs for data freshness, accuracy, and completeness.
• Design data quality frameworks, reconciliation mechanisms, and observability for critical pipelines.
• Lead root‑cause analysis and long term fixes for production issues.

Collaborate Across the Company :

• Partner with Product, Analytics, Data Science, Platform, and GTM teams to translate business needs into scalable data solutions.
• Act as a technical point of contact for third party data integrations and vendors.

Raise the Engineering Bar :

• Mentor senior engineers and influence technical standards across the org.
• Lead by example in design reviews, operational ownership, and incident response.
• Help shape engineering best practices around scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Leverage generative AI and AI coding tools to accelerate developer productivity, engineering workflows, and automation of repetitive tasks

• 10+ years of experience building backend or data intensive systems.
