## About your role
We are seeking a Senior Staff Software Engineer to lead the transformation of our current data engineering and analytics function into a modern, scalable, product-oriented Data Platform organization. You will define the vision, architecture, operating model, and execution roadmap required to evolve from project-based data delivery to a platform that enables self-service, reliable, governed, and analytics-ready data across the company.
This is a deeply hands-on leadership role for a technical expert who actively designs systems, prototypes solutions, reviews code, and guides teams through complex challenges. You will modernize our data stack, establish platform standards, introduce best practices for reliability and governance, and enable teams across the business to build data products efficiently and safely.
In addition to platform transformation, you will ensure the data ecosystem delivers high-quality analytics and actionable insights. You will define architecture across ingestion, processing, modeling, semantic layers, analytics, and AI/ML enablement, ensuring data is trustworthy, accessible, secure, and performant.
You will work closely with engineering leadership, product teams, analytics, and executive stakeholders to align technology strategy with business outcomes, mentor engineers, and build a data-driven culture. Success in this role means not only delivering a modern platform but also elevating the team’s capabilities, processes, and ways of working to operate as a true Data Platform organization.
