Your Role in Action:
- Lead and mentor a team of data platform engineers, promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional growth.
- Drive architectural decisions for distributed systems and lakehouse platforms using Spark, Delta Lake, and Iceberg.
- Oversee design and implementation of scalable data pipelines and analytics workflows.
- Ensure adherence to software engineering best practices: clean code, modular design, CI/CD, automated testing, and code reviews.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to align technical solutions with business objectives and analytics needs.
- Champion governance, observability, and compliance frameworks across all data platforms.
- Manage performance tuning, scalability strategies, and cost optimization in cloud-native environments.
- Facilitate architecture reviews and contribute to design decisions for fault-tolerant, future-ready systems.
- Communicate effectively with leadership and cross-functional teams to provide updates, resolve blockers, and ensure timely delivery.
- Participate in on-call rotations as part of a team responsibility.
