Heavybit and Uncork Capital-backed cloud financial data platform

Own the architecture and execution of a cloud financial data platform processing hundreds of millions of rows monthly. As the technical leader of a seed‑stage team, you will ship code daily while scaling a high‑performance engineering culture to solve complex data cardinality and multi‑cloud billing challenges for Fortune 500 enterprises.

• Significant market leverage with $7.75M in fresh funding and a built‑in audience of 35,000 AWS community members and Fortune 100 relationships.
• Unique hybrid model where seven years of domain‑leading consulting insights fuel the product roadmap for a $47B total addressable market.
• High‑autonomy builder role where you define the technical standards and grow the team from the ground floor in a high‑transparency, no‑politics environment.

• Lead daily shipping and set a high‑velocity pace by personally contributing to the codebase and removing architectural or process bottlenecks.
• Design and evolve a robust data infrastructure using Python, Click House, and Airflow capable of 50x growth in data volume and complexity.
• Recruit and mentor a world‑class engineering team, fostering a culture of excellence where engineers do the best work of their careers.

• Proven track record as a Director, VP, or founder who thrives in seed‑stage ambiguity and remains a hands‑on technical contributor.
• Deep expertise in data infrastructure, large‑scale ETL/ELT pipelines, and managing complex datasets with near‑unbounded cardinality.
• Enthusiastic about AI‑assisted development and building product‑focused engineering teams rather than purely infrastructure or operations‑focused organizations.
