About the role
- The work you do will ensure that readers and writers on Medium can receive personalized recommendations, view up-to-date writer stats, make subscription payments without friction, and reach the right readers with each post.
- The role is equal parts stewardship and transformation, and we're looking for someone who can keep critical systems running reliably while also moving us toward our vision of a modern, well-instrumented data platform.
- If you're someone who finds both of those things interesting-someone who can triage a pipeline failure in the morning and spend the afternoon thinking through a migration strategy, keeping the long-term vision in mind-this might be the role for you.
Responsibilities
- Bring a product mindset to platform ownership, partnering with engineers and stakeholders across teams to understand their data infrastructure needs and help design systems they can use and trust
- Build, maintain, and modernize the data infrastructure that Medium's product and engineering teams depend on to do their best work
- Own reliability of our data infrastructure: Identify risks, instrument better observability, and drive improvements that reduce toil for the whole org

Skills
