About the Role

Lead the org-wide data platform that powers every product and AI workflow across the company — from our award-winning AI-powered Global HR & Compliance Product to the Agentic AI Platform.

This platform is the foundation of every product, feature, and AI-driven decision: it ingests, processes, and serves data from hundreds of internal services, structured business and third-party applications, and 100K+ semi-structured Knowledge articles.

You will have full ownership and technical leadership over this mission-critical platform — shaping architecture, standards, and engineering practices — while enabling distributed teams to deliver reliable, high-quality, and secure data services at scale.

What You Will Do

Lead Data Platform Teams

Build, mentor, and grow high-performing distributed engineering teams that thrive in a culture of autonomy, ownership, and operational excellence.
Create an environment where engineers are empowered to innovate, take ownership, and make impactful decisions.

Own the Data Platform Infrastructure

Lead design, development, and evolution of all core data platform services: streaming/event ingestion, lakehouse, and Knowledge Platform.
Manage all organizational data flows, including:

100K+ semi-structured Knowledge articles
Structured data from a wide range of business and third-party applications
Real-time event streams from internal services powering critical workflows

Ensure operational health, reliability, performance, and cost efficiency of the platform.
Drive data quality, schema governance, security, and compliance standards that support AI workflows, product development, and business decisions.
Provide tools, APIs, and best practices that enable product-aligned teams to build pipelines efficiently while following platform standards.
Balance multiple dimensions of responsibility: security, compliance, cost optimization, reliability, operational monitoring, quality, and governance.

Drive Platform Reliability & Operational Excellence

Own platform uptime, monitoring, and incident response, ensuring teams can rely on the platform to deliver critical products and AI features.
Implement proactive validation, monitoring, and alerting to prevent downstream issues.
Lead root cause analysis and continuous improvement across all services.

Partner with Data Engineering Teams

Collaborate with product-aligned teams to ensure platform adoption, integration, and best practices.
Provide guidance and tooling while enabling other teams to deliver features autonomously.

Contribute to Platform Architecture

Shape technical strategy for distributed systems, streaming infrastructure, lakehouse, and Knowledge Platform.
Make high-impact architectural decisions affecting all products, AI workflows, and business-critical processes.

Improve Engineering Discipline

Drive adoption of modern engineering practices: CI/CD, automated testing, documentation, and design reviews.
Foster a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and high-quality delivery.
