- Improve observability and operational excellence for critical data workflows, including monitoring, incident response, root-cause analysis, and long-term remediation.
- Contribute to engineering excellence, design-before-implementation practices, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
Requirements
- Deep experience building and operating production data platforms, distributed data systems, or high-scale data pipelines.
- High proficiency in large data pipeline architecture and at least one general-purpose programming language, such as Python, Java, or Scala.
- Strong fundamentals in data modeling, data architecture, distributed systems, and software engineering.
- Experience designing systems with rigorous data quality, observability, lineage, governance, privacy, or access-control requirements.
- Ability to collaborate with cross-functional partners, navigate ambiguity, and drive projects from problem definition through delivery.
- A product-oriented mindset and clear communication skills with technical and non-technical partners.
- Ability to translate customer and business problems into precise data contracts and scalable system designs.
- Strong focus on correctness, operational reliability, engineering excellence, sound judgment, and maintainable systems.
Nice to Have
- Experience with monetization, pricing, product usage, billing, ads, payments, revenue, or financial data.
- Familiarity with financial controls, reconciliation, close processes, or audit requirements.
- Experience with modern lakehouse or data warehouse technologies, workflow orchestration, streaming systems, and data transformation frameworks.
- Experience building self-service data platforms, shared frameworks, or developer tooling for data and engineering teams.
Benefits
