Remote, US
Our take: The real work here is growing an engineering team while guiding the architecture of a high-throughput data platform that turns hundreds of millions of daily events into reliable customer reporting.
If you love the double game of growing engineers and shaping the architecture of a high-throughput data platform, this is your kind of role. You will lead a team that ingests, buffers, enriches, and queries hundreds of millions of events a day, then partner across product and infrastructure to turn that foundation into real customer reporting. It is for someone who takes genuine pride in reliability, coaches people to their best, and enjoys making hard tradeoffs across many deployment models.
