  • 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

  • Expert-level, current proficiency in modern data engineering: Python, SQL, Spark, streaming frameworks (e.g., Kafka), orchestration tooling, and cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Azure) - able to write and review production code personally, not only at a conceptual level
  • Proven, personal experience developing and deploying machine learning models and generative AI/LLM applications into production - this should reflect direct authorship, not solely direction of others' work
  • Hands-on experience with MLOps tooling, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and model monitoring frameworks
  • Experience working across diverse, often messy enterprise data domains (financial, labor/workforce, IoT/sensor, employee activity, client/operational) preferred over deep specialization in any single domain
  • Demonstrated track record of delivering AI products that generated measurable business outcomes
  • Strong engineering leadership skills with experience building and scaling delivery-oriented technical teams - paired with a clear, recent record as a top individual technical contributor, not a manager who has drifted away from the technical work
  • Comfortable moving fluidly between hands-on building (coding, prototyping, debugging production issues) and strategic work (roadmaps, architecture decisions, executive communication)
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field
  • advanced degree in a quantitative discipline preferred
  • 7+ years of data and software engineering experience, including 4+ years building AI/ML solutions and 2+ years in engineering leadership roles

  • Write code, design model architectures, and personally develop and deploy machine learning models and generative AI applications (including LLM-based solutions), particularly for new or unproven use cases before delegating to the team
  • Stay hands-on in production: debug critical-path issues, review production-critical code and model logic, and remain a credible technical authority by virtue of doing the work, not just overseeing it
  • Define and execute the AI/ML roadmap for the line of business, identifying high-value use cases across the full data landscape — predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, workforce and labor optimization, financial and margin analytics, smart building performance, and intelligent client reporting
  • Provide overarching oversight and governance of enterprise data architecture standards, design patterns, and data modeling principles — ensuring all engineering solutions, vendor integrations, and AI workloads conform to the established framework
  • Review and approve solution designs across engineering, AI, and vendor deliverables for alignment with data architecture standards
