About this role
Role overview Architect, build, and operate a data platform that supports real-time and batch use across product, growth, analytics, AI, and data services. The platform processes billions of events each day, so this hands-on role combines large-scale engineering with responsibility for production reliability, data quality, security, and long-term technical direction.

Requirements - At least five years designing, operating, and owning production data systems, ideally in high-scale or data-intensive settings. - Expert SQL skills and hands-on experience with Spark, Kafka, or comparable modern data processing frameworks. - Experience running data infrastructure on AWS. - Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform. - Proficiency in a data engineering language such as Python, Scala, or Java; Python is preferred. - Ability to take ownership of complex systems and work across teams on reliability, quality, and technical direction.
