  • Own the roadmap and execution, ensuring all team deliverables are met with high quality and on schedule.
  • Define team best practices for engineering excellence, including design reviews, code quality, testing strategies, and performance optimizations.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with teams developing vertical product experiences (Lakehouse Platform, SQL Warehouse, AI/BI Dashboards) and infrastructure teams to ensure seamless integration and innovation.
What We Look For
  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of technical leadership and impact.
  • 5+ years of engineering management experience, including managing managers.
  • Experience leading teams of Front End or Full Stack developers.
  • Experience designing and building scalable SaaS platforms, onboarding flows, or customer growth-focused product experiences.
  • Expertise in distributed systems, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and modern web application architectures.
  • Strong ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and business teams to align technical strategy with company growth objectives.
  • Passion for the data intelligence space.
