What you will do: Architecture & Strategy

Define end-to-end data architecture

(lake/lakehouse/warehouse, batch/streaming, CDC, metadata). Set standards for schemas, contracts, orchestration, storage layers, and semantic/metrics models. Publish roadmaps, ADRs/RFCs, and “north star” target states; guide build vs. buy decisions.

Platform & Pipelines

Design and build scalable, observable ELT/ETL and event pipelines. Establish ingestion patterns (CDC, file, API, message bus) and schema-evolution policies. Provide self-service tooling for

analysts/scientists

(dbt, notebooks, catalogs, feature stores). Ensure workflow reliability (idempotency, retries, backfills, SLAs).

Data Quality & Governance

Define dataset SLAs/SLOs, freshness, lineage, and data certification tiers. Enforce contracts and validation tests; deploy anomaly detection and incident runbooks. Partner with governance on cataloging, PII handling, retention, and access policies.

Reliability, Performance & Cost

Lead capacity planning,

partitioning/clustering,

and query optimization. Introduce SRE-style practices for data (error budgets, postmortems). Drive FinOps for storage/compute; monitor and reduce cost per TB/query/job.

Security & Compliance

Implement encryption, tokenization, and row/column-level security; manage secrets and audits. Align with SOC 2 and privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR/CCPA; HIPAA if applicable).

ML & Analytics Enablement

Deliver versioned, documented datasets/features for BI and ML. Operationalize training/serving data flows, drift signals, and feature-store governance. Build and maintain the semantic layer and metrics consistency for

experimentation/BI.

Leadership & Collaboration

Provide technical leadership across squads; mentor senior/staff engineers. Run design reviews and drive consensus on complex trade-offs. Translate business goals into data products with product/analytics leaders.

Requirements

10+ years in data engineering (including 3+ years as staff/principal or equivalent scope). Proven leadership of company-wide data architecture and platform initiatives. Deep experience with at least one cloud (AWS) and a modern warehouse or lakehouse (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks). Strong SQL and one programming (Python or Scala/Java). Orchestration (Airflow/Dagster/Prefect), transformations (dbt or equivalent), and streaming (Kafka/Kinesis/PubSub). Data modeling (3NF, star, data vault) and semantic/metrics layers. Data quality testing, lineage, and observability in production environments. Security best practices: RBAC/ABAC, encryption, key management, auditability. Nice to Have (IDEAL)

Feature stores and ML data ops; experimentation frameworks. Cost optimization at scale; multi-tenant architectures. Governance tools (DataHub/Collibra/Alation), OpenLineage, and testing frameworks (Great Expectations/Deequ). Compliance exposure (SOC 2, GDPR/CCPA; HIPAA/PCI where relevant). Model features sourced from complex 3rd-party data
