Oversee the connected SaaS data landscape.
Own the budget for data infrastructure and develop a cost allocation model.

Maintain a pragmatic approach, balancing daily startup demands with the needs of a well-managed platform.
Continuously identify and implement improvements to data infrastructure.

Requirements

7-10+ years of hands-on experience across the data ecosystem, including modern ETL/ELT, orchestration, data warehouses, columnar stores, BI tooling, and SQL optimization.
Possess a software engineering mindset, adhering to principles of source control, infrastructure as code, testing, modularity, automation, CICD, and observability.
Bring a strong professional network to tap for advice.
Experience working directly with product engineers and business users.
Proficiency in Python for contributing to product engineering code and writing tools.
Ability to independently research, design, implement, and deliver solutions through responsible change management.
