WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for a seasoned technical leader with deep expertise in enterprise
data and analytics platforms—someone who combines strong architectural judgment
with hands-on experience building and scaling contemporary data ecosystems in complex,
global environments. This individual should be fluent in cloud-based platforms,
distributed systems, and modern data components, including batch and streaming
pipelines, orchestration,



storage, metadata, and observability. A strong
foundation in semantic layers, ontology, taxonomy, and knowledge graphs is
critical, along with the ability to design platforms that support the full data
lifecycle—from ingestion and transformation to governance and self-service
access.

The ideal candidate brings proven experience defining technical direction,
simplifying complexity, and establishing scalable architectural patterns,
standards, and guardrails that drive consistency, reliability, and long-term
maintainability. Beyond technical depth, we are looking for someone who can
partner effectively across engineering, product, infrastructure, and security
teams, and who leads through influence, mentorship, and credibility to elevate
engineering excellence and align platform capabilities with business and
developer needs.
