• Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, and cost‑efficient data platforms, including data lakes, warehouses, marts, and semantic layers.
• Define and enforce architectural patterns, data contracts, and integration standards used across engineering and product teams.
• Lead the design of logical and physical data models, implementing data quality, validation, and monitoring frameworks to support trusted analytics.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to translate governance policies and enterprise definitions into concrete technical implementations.
• Develop core, reusable data products and support AI‑assisted analytics and reporting tools to improve productivity for business and analytics users.
• Ensure production data delivery meets defined SLAs, supports downstream applications, and aligns with enterprise standards.
• Lead large‑scale technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and establish best practices for collaboration, governance, and platform health.

• 8+ years of experience building, maintaining, and orchestrating scalable data platforms, pipelines, and analytics solutions.
• Demonstrated Staff‑level impact, including leading cross‑team initiatives, making architectural decisions, and influencing organizational roadmaps.
• Deep experience with cloud data ecosystems (e.g., AWS) and modern data warehouses (Redshift, Snowflake, Big Query).
• Strong expertise in data modeling for OLTP and OLAP, and designing reusable data products for BI, reporting, and analytics.
• Hands‑on experience implementing data quality, observability, and governance frameworks, preferably in regulated or PHI/PII‑sensitive environments.
• Proficiency in SQL and at least one modern programming language used in data engineering (Python, Java, Scala).
• Experience with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow) and familiarity with event‑driven or streaming data patterns.
• Knowledge of BI and analytics tools (e.g., Tableau, Amplitude) and their integration with governed data layers.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and cross‑functional leadership skills; ability to explain complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Highly self‑directed, able to operate in ambiguous environments, and focused on delivering measurable business outcomes.

• Competitive salary with generous annual cash bonus and equity grants.
