Responsibilities & Focus Areas

• Proven greenfield experience: You've personally led the design and implementation of a data platform from scratch, rather than exclusively maintaining or extending existing infrastructure.
• Deep understanding of data warehouses, ETL/ELT architectures, data modeling, orchestration, and distributed data processing.

• Enable self-service analytics: Build the infrastructure that allows engineering, product, and business teams to answer questions independently without relying on manual data requests.

Required Capabilities & Background

• You know how to avoid overengineering while building foundations that won't need to be replaced six months later.
• You're comfortable moving between data architecture, production pipelines, analytical modeling, and hands-on debugging.
• Experience with modern data technologies such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, dbt, Airflow, Dagster, or equivalent tools.
• Strong understanding of data quality, lineage, observability, access controls, and production data reliability.
• Experience designing analytics infrastructure that supports product insights and operational decision-making.
• AI-native engineering habits: You already use AI coding agents as part of your daily workflow and actively automate repetitive development and data engineering tasks.
• Ability to make pragmatic architectural decisions, balancing scalability, simplicity, performance, and engineering velocity.
