Job Description

Impact

While no two days are the same, you will focus on eliminating architecture bottlenecks and accelerating enterprise data velocity by leading a talented team of software and platform-leaning data engineers. You will own the vision, roadmap, and developer experience, build elegant Command Line Interfaces (CLIs) and SDKs to minimize onboarding friction, and lead the technical design of our Pipeline-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure to move away from manual ETL builds toward automated, reusable code frameworks.

  • You have 6+ years of experience in Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, or DevOps
  • You have 2+ years of experience leading or managing technical engineering teams
  • You have a strong foundational background in backend software architecture, microservices, and API development (Python, Go, or Java preferred)
  • You have a proven track record of building and managing enterprise-grade CI/CD automation pipelines, introducing automated testing, code validation gates, and Git-driven infrastructure deployment (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Terraform)
  • You have deep technical familiarity with cloud data infrastructure, with a preference for Snowflake/Snowpark, Kafka, Airflow, or GCS
  • You have experience overseeing the scaling, compute efficiency, and architecture of core cloud data lake and warehousing environments
  • You are a passionate advocate for developer experience (DevEx) who natively defaults to automation over manual system configuration
