You will manage a team of engineers while remaining a hands-on player-coach who contributes to architecture, design reviews, and production code. Your daily work involves developing reliable, scalable integration pipelines and connectors across APIs, event streams, and file transfers to support high-scale batch and real-time flows. The role requires expertise in Python, SQL, Kafka, Flink, Spark, Airflow, Kubernetes, and cloud environments like AWS or GCP. You will solve complex problems regarding data contracts, schema evolution, and security compliance while advancing a lakehouse architecture to provide AI-ready data for internal analytics and product experiences.

What you'll do

  • Own the strategy and roadmap for the Data Integration Platform including ingestion pipelines and infrastructure.
  • Manage and develop a team of engineers by setting priorities, providing coaching, and overseeing execution.
  • Design scalable architecture for high-performance data flows across batch and real-time systems.
  • Build and operate reliable connectors and pipelines for diverse sources like APIs, event streams, and file transfers.
  • Define data contracts, schemas, and SLAs to govern how data enters and leaves the ecosystem.
  • Implement security and compliance features including RBAC, PII protection, and automated governance tools.
  • Establish operational practices such as on-call rotations, incident management, and performance monitoring.
  • Contribute to production code and perform high-level architecture reviews for critical platform problems.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in high-scale, high-reliability software development focused on platforms, infrastructure, and data integration systems.
  • 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and coaching.
  • Proven expertise in system and data architecture for scalable, secure, and cost-efficient data platforms.
  • Experience with data movement components like ingestion/CDC pipelines, event streaming, and API or file-based data exchange.
  • Proficiency with modern data technologies such as Kafka, Flink, Spark, Airflow, Kubernetes, and Snowflake.
  • Extensive experience in cloud-based data ecosystems including AWS, GCP, or Azure equivalents.
  • Knowledge of data governance, security, and compliance best practices like RBAC and PII handling.
  • Hands-on proficiency in Python (preferred) or a comparable language, along with fluency in SQL.
