About the role
- ABOUT NEXUS You don't have an AI story if you don't have your data story.
- One identity, one governance envelope, one operational layer across every mainframe, data lake, warehouse, and streaming system in the business.
- For the first time, enterprises can bring their existing stack along instead of rebuilding it - and still give AI agents full context across the estate.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the technical architecture and long-term roadmap for the company's data platform
- Lead the design of large-scale, high-reliability data pipelines and systems spanning multiple teams
- Set engineering standards for data modeling, testing, observability, and pipeline design across the organization
- Partner with engineering, product, and analytics leadership to align data infrastructure investments with business priorities
- Lead root-cause analysis for complex, cross-system data incidents and drive systemic fixes
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional data engineering experience, including significant time designing large-scale data systems
- Deep expertise in SQL and at least one programming language used for data engineering (e.g., Python, Scala, or Java)
- Proven track record of setting technical direction and influencing engineering standards across teams
- Extensive experience with cloud data platforms, data warehousing, and pipeline orchestration at scale
- Strong communication skills, with experience presenting technical strategy to both engineering and business stakeholders
Nice to have
- Track record of leading major platform migrations or re-architecture efforts
- Experience with streaming architectures and real-time data processing at scale
- Prior experience in a Staff, Principal, or equivalent individual-contributor leadership role
- A collaborative team culture built on curiosity and respect
- Challenging work where your contributions clearly matter
- The opportunity to work at the intersection of cloud, data, and AI innovation
- Familiarity with data governance, lineage, and compliance requirements
- If this role sounds like a great fit - or even close to one - we'd love to hear from you.
Skills
- That's where NexusOne comes in.
- What we stand for is simple:
- sovereign data, interoperable systems, decoupled intelligence - delivered the way modern software should be.
- No rip-and-replace.
- No multi-year transformation.
- Our CEO Anu Jain puts it well:
- 85+ open-source tools pre-integrated.
- AI-native automations that deploy and self-heal the stack without human toil.
- It's working, and fast.
- Our platform processes credit risk data for 90%+ of US small businesses - 40M+ - every month.
- Intent signals for 300M+ subscribers monthly for Africa's largest telco.
- The data and AI layer for a Top 3 US bank.
