• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to prioritize delivery, remove blockers, and align technical execution with business timelines

• Build and maintain strong partnerships across Engineering, Product, Analytics, Engineering and Marketing to ensure delivery of high-impact data initiatives

You Have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

• 15+ years of experience in software or data engineering, with deep expertise in distributed systems, pipelines, and event data architecture

• 10+ years of engineering leadership experience, managing managers and senior technical leads across multiple teams
