- As a member of the data organization, you’ll help power data science, ETLs, self-service data, and tools to make us efficient and facilitate scalable decision-making
- You will be responsible for defining, developing and managing curated datasets, key business metrics and reporting across functional units at Cockroach Labs
- You will also manage a small team of Data Engineers and provide mentorship and guidance in their career goals
- Lead the design, build, and scaling of our backend data infrastructure (across data acquisition, pipelines, and warehousing) using the latest data engineering technologies to ensure the data platform is reliable, extendable, and performant
- Conceptualize, develop and own the data architecture, data pipelines and centralized data warehouse with trustworthy curated datasets and standardized metrics and business definitions to empower data access and self-service

You will update the roadmap priorities and put in place key processes for building out this function. You will develop a point of view on the direction we need to take our data platform to support our product operations
- After 90 days, you will be fully integrated into the team. You will put in place the major processes for supporting Product and the broader organization, and make incremental improvements to our data platform that demonstrably improve our ability to make decisions. You will socialize a strategy for data in the Product team and how this will support the needs of other departments in the future

Our take
Cockroach Labs was founded by a team of ex-Google employees who wanted to build a database management system similar to Google’s Spanner. The result is CockroachDB, an open-source, distributed SQL database that delivers familiar SQL, strong consistency, and near-indestructible fault tolerance. Designed to scale locally or globally and deployed on any cloud or on-prem setup, it keeps mission-critical applications running even through hardware failures or full data-center outages.
A major milestone in the company's growth is its partnership with IBM ,which integrates CockroachBD into IBM's hybrid infrastructure. This makes it far easier for long-standing mainframe users to modernize without rewriting massive amounts of code. Running CockroachDB on systems like LinuxONE, Linux on Z, Power Systems, and Red Hat OpenShift helps organizations adopt cloud-native architectures while staying in environments they trust. At the same time, enterprise demand is surging and the company is boasting significant year-on-year growth in new customers, ARR, and cloud adoption.
As applications become more global, always-on, and increasingly AI-driven, businesses need databases built for scale, resilience, and zero downtime. And CockroachDB was engienered for exaclt ythat. With a decade of innovation, expanding enterprise traction, and a leadership team experienced in scaling high-growth tech companies, Cockroach Labs is set to power the next generation of mission-critical applications.
