## About the role

As a Senior Staff Engineer, Data, you'll be a key technical leader driving the design, implementation, and evolution of FloQast's core data platform.

- Foundational Systems: Own and evolve the core data platform components (e.g., event streaming, lakehouse architecture, batch & streaming ETL, data cataloging)
- Data Governance: Define best practices for data quality, lineage, privacy, and access control to ensure regulatory compliance and trust in the data
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Analytics, Infrastructure, and Security teams to align data platform capabilities with organizational goals
- Technical Leadership: Mentor engineers across the organization, establish coding and architectural standards, and influence the strategic direction of the platform
- Innovation & Modernization: Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies that improve performance, observability, developer experience, and cost efficiency
