• Experience running and evolving engineering processes (e.g., agile development, backlog management) to drive predictable execution and continuous improvement
• Experience setting team goals and metrics (e.g., OKRs) and holding teams accountable to outcomes
• Strong hands-on experience operating and scaling data platform infrastructure (e.g., Spark, Airflow, Iceberg, StarRocks) in production environments
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes and containerized software development, including cluster design, operations, and scaling in production environments
• Experience building and operating distributed systems with high availability and performance requirements, including SLOs and incident management
• Strong understanding of data platform architecture (compute, orchestration, storage) and experience driving reliability, performance, and cost optimization at the platform level
• Ability to contribute code and technical solutions when needed, with proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Java, Go, Rust)
• Experience partnering with cross-functional engineering teams (e.g., Production Engineering, Developer Experience, Security, IT) and data engineering teams to deliver cohesive platform solutions
• You love building and leading teams that operate critical infrastructure at scale
• You’re curious about how to improve reliability, performance, and cost efficiency across complex data systems
• You’re an expert in navigating tradeoffs across platform architecture, system design, and engineering execution
• This position requires access to export controlled information. To conform to U.S. Government export regulations applicable to that information, applicant must either be (A) a U.S. person, defined as a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder), (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, (B) eligible to access the export controlled information without a required export authorization, or (C) eligible and reasonably likely to obtain the required export authorization from the applicable U.S. government agency.
