• Drive company-wide AI adoption: Build the robust, reliable data pipelines and infrastructure required to power our internal AI initiatives, enabling intelligent tooling and automation.
• Scale for the future: Establish a future-proof technical foundation that initially optimizes internal operations, with a clear roadmap to expand into core product features.
• Establish operational excellence: Implement data governance, data lineage, observability, and strict quality controls to ensure the data platform is reliable and trusted.

What you will need to succeed in this role:

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in Data Engineering, building modern data stacks, central data warehouses, and high-throughput data pipelines.
• A track record of technically leading and elevating small teams while remaining deeply hands-on.
• Proven ability to design company-wide data architectures and act as the principal technical decision-maker for complex data systems.
• Strong understanding of how to structure, model, and pipeline data specifically to support AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics adoption.
