What you bring in:         Architecture & Tech Stack * Core Engineering: Exceptional proficiency in programming in Python / Scala to build robust, highly optimized data systems. * Distributed Systems: Extensive architectural experience with Apache Spark and Kafka (or equivalents like Flink, Kinesis, GCP Pub/Sub) to build high-throughput, low-latency pipelines handling AdTech-scale data (millions of events/sec). * Data Warehousing & Orchestration: Expert in data modeling and query optimization in BigQuery (or Snowflake / Redshift). Proficient in orchestrating complex DAGs and workflows using Apache Airflow (or Dagster / Prefect). * MLOps & AI Integration: Experience deploying machine learning models into production. Ability to engineer deployment architectures that translate AI models into scalable, low-latency APIs for downstream services.        Complex Execution * End-to-End Ownership: Proven track record of leading complex, cross-squad projects from initial whiteboard design through large-scale deployment and maintenance. * Problem Decomposition: Strong ability to break down highly ambiguous technical problems into clear, actionable development plans for multiple teams.        Engineering Leadership * Engineering Standards: Drives the adoption of architectural best practices, robust testing methodologies, and high engineering standards across the organization. * System Evolution: Leads large-scale codebase refactoring, system health improvements, and the evolution of internal tooling. * Mentorship: Actively mentors senior and junior engineers, conducts rigorous architectural/code reviews, and guides the team's long-term technology choices. It would be great if you also have: * Transactional Databases: Hands-on experience with operational RDBMS (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and low-latency NoSQL data stores (e.g., Redis, Cassandra). * Microservices Architecture: Experience building or integrating with microservice ecosystems, including API design (REST, gRPC) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). * Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proficiency in provisioning cloud data infrastructure using Terraform and configuring robust CI/CD pipeline What we offer:  We support growth through learning resources, leadership programs, mentoring, and real hands-on work. People can move between teams and projects to build new skills and keep things interesting. We offer clear internal mobility and a transparent path for progression, with leaders who stay involved and provide guidance throughout the year.
