About the role
- Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect.
- We're embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home.
- Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday - working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week.
Responsibilities
- Own the platform roadmap. Translate target architecture into sequenced capabilities, engineering standards, and team plans, balancing new capability against reliability, cost, and technical debt.
- Own the core platform: environments, deployment patterns, orchestration, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation, delivered as self-service patterns and templates rather than a ticket queue.
- Own platform cost and performance. Drive compute and workload optimization and cost visibility, in partnership with Finance and Infrastructure.
- Set architecture direction with the Data Architect on major decisions, standards, and exceptions without becoming an approval gate, and build security, privacy, access, and governance requirements into how the platform runs.
- Own technical acceptance of implementation-partner work. Define acceptance criteria, review mechanisms, and knowledge transfer so our engineers can operate the platform before handoff.
- Lead platform and ingestion migration off the legacy estate, supporting Data Engineering's workload and data-product cutover.
- Lead and grow the team.
- A mission- and values-driven culture and a safe, inclusive environment where you can build, grow and thrive
- Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that bring people together, give opportunities to network, mentor and develop, and advocate for change.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Nice to have
- Databricks depth: Unity Catalog, Workflows/Jobs, Delta/DLT.
- AWS data stacks (S3, Iceberg/Delta) and streaming (Kafka).
- Owned platform cost and performance: accountable for a consumption or budget line, with specific optimizations you can point to.
- Retired or replaced in-house platform component in favor of a supported alternative.
- Consumer products, hardware, technology, or subscription businesses.
- What Values You'll Share
- Aim High - Always challenging ourselves and others to raise the bar.
- No Ego - Maintaining a "no job too small" attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
Compensation
