## About the role

You're a hands-on engineering leader with deep experience building and operating modern data platforms. You've led teams through scale — evolving architecture, improving reliability, and making hard tradeoffs between speed, cost, and quality. You're as comfortable reviewing a PR or debugging a pipeline failure as you are setting quarterly roadmap priorities or presenting a platform strategy to senior leadership.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of professional experience in data engineering, with at least 5 years working hands-on with modern PaaS data stack technologies (Snowflake, Fivetran, Airflow, dbt, Estuary, or equivalent)
- Deep Snowflake expertise - schema design, query optimization, cost governance, data sharing, and performance tuning at scale
- 5+ years of engineering management experience, including experience managing managers or leading a multi-team engineering organization
- Strong architectural judgment - able to make sound decisions on pipeline design, infrastructure patterns, and platform evolution
- Experience leading a distributed engineering team across multiple workstreams and delivery tracks
- Deep proficiency in SQL and Python, recognized by peers for technical rigor
