- Lead and develop the team: Set direction, coach experienced specialists and create clear ownership across Data Engineering and Machine Learning.
- Build dependable data foundations: Improve the pipelines, integrations and infrastructure the wider Data team relies on for analysis, reporting and machine learning.
- Strengthen production ML: Improve deployment, monitoring and operational follow-through for production models, so teams can run them reliably and resolve issues effectively.
- Advance marketplace models: Help teams improve recommendation, cancellation and bidder-risk use cases, connecting model performance to meaningful product outcomes.
- Set direction and priorities: Work with Product, Engineering, Analytics and business partners to choose high-value problems and balance delivery, reliability and long-term platform health.
- Shape the technology strategy: Reporting to the SVP Engineering, you’ll join the Engineering Management team and help shape the direction of the Technology department.
Requirements
- Combine strong technical judgement with experienced people leadership.
- Create clarity in a complex environment, empower specialists and make sound decisions across both disciplines.
- Deep experience designing, building and operating data-intensive systems in Data Engineering or Machine Learning Engineering, with practical knowledge of the other.

- Ability to evaluate trade-offs and guide architecture for data platforms, distributed systems and production infrastructure.
- Experience with the deployment, monitoring and operation of machine learning systems in production.
- Ability to connect technical work to business goals, make priority calls and assess outcomes.
- Relevant cloud platform experience: We run on GCP using BigQuery, Vertex AI and Kubernetes. Experience with equivalent AWS services is also relevant.
- Streaming and integration experience: Kafka, event-driven systems or modern data integration tools are useful.
- Ability to explain technical trade-offs and align technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Apply with an English CV and Cover Letter.
