Job Description:

The Senior Director, Data Platform Engineering is accountable for architecting, building, and operating SimpliSafe’s core data platform using a lakehouse / medallion architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold) and modern cloud-native engineering practices. This leader owns the technical foundation and platform operating model that enables trusted analytics, operational decisioning, and AI/ML use cases across the enterprise—while partnering with business data owners and governance leaders who are accountable for data definitions, BI/analytics, AI/ML, and business outcomes. This is a senior enterprise engineering role with production accountability.

Job Responsibility:

  • Establish and operationalize medallion standards for ingestion, transformation patterns, performance, schema evolution, and data lifecycle management
  • Design scalable, resilient ingestion and transformation frameworks supporting core enterprise domains (customer, device/telemetry, monitoring events, operations, finance, supply chain, marketing)
  • Lead migration from legacy pipelines and systems including dual-run strategies and decommissioning
  • Manage technical debt deliberately and evolve the platform as scale and use cases expand
  • Drive strategy and execution using partners and internal resources
  • Drive the execution of enterprise-wide, cross-functional data initiatives by serving as the technical and delivery lead
  • Build and scale event-driven and streaming data pipelines for near real-time operational and product use cases
  • Implement robust, streaming data ingestion architectures with clear reliability and observability standards
  • Ensure real-time and batch pipelines coexist cleanly with consistent governance hooks, lineage, and quality controls
  • Own the data platform operating model including intake, prioritization, release management, and engineering standards
  • Be accountable for platform reliability and data SLAs including incident response and root-cause remediation
  • Implement production-grade observability and on-call practices
  • Drive platform cost management and optimization
  • Build, lead, and scale a high-performing global team of 10–20+ data platform and data engineers
  • Set a high bar for engineering rigor including CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, automated testing, and secure-by-default patterns
  • Remain hands-on at the architectural level as an escalation point for complex issues
  • Partner with data owners and governance leaders to enable enterprise governance through platform capabilities such as access controls, lineage, observability, and data quality frameworks

Requirements:

  • 10+ years in data engineering, platform engineering, or distributed systems roles
  • 5+ years leading teams delivering enterprise-scale data platforms in production
  • Proven history modernizing or rebuilding data platforms with measurable outcomes
  • Strong track record managing third-party partners (onshore and offshore)
  • Deep hands-on experience with Databricks and/or Snowflake, Spark, SQL, Delta Lake, Data Hub, and cloud object storage
  • Ability to drive selection around an optimized set of tooling
  • Experience implementing medallion architectures and scalable transformation frameworks
  • Strong experience with streaming and event-driven data systems
  • Solid understanding of cloud security and cost optimization
  • Enterprise-minded leader able to influence executives and earn credibility with engineers
  • Pragmatic, delivery-oriented, and comfortable owning production outcomes
  • Consultative style with clear boundary management

Nice to have:

  • Built and operated a modern lakehouse platform in production
  • Led real-time or event-driven data pipelines at scale
  • Owned platform reliability and data SLAs
  • Migrated and decommissioned legacy platforms
  • Managed cloud data platform costs at scale
  • Partnered effectively with governance and analytics teams
  • Led and challenged external consulting partners
What we offer:
  • A mission- and values-driven culture and a safe, inclusive environment
  • A comprehensive total rewards package that supports your wellness and provides security for SimpliSafers and their families
  • Free SimpliSafe system and professional monitoring for your home
  • Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that bring people together, give opportunities to network, mentor and develop, and advocate for change
  • Participation in our annual bonus program, equity, and other forms of compensation
  • A full range of medical, retirement, and lifestyle benefits
