You have
- Proven technical leadership: Track record of designing and implementing data solutions at scale, preferably in customer-facing environments
- Infrastructure expertise: Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS strongly preferred) including compute, storage, and networking optimisations for data-intensive applications
- Data warehouse expertise: Extensive experience with columnar and/or real-time analytics databases like ClickHouse and Redshift, including performance tuning, query optimisation, and scaling strategies
- Modern data engineering experience: Hands-on expertise with modern data processing frameworks, ETL/ELT patterns, observability, and governance tools
- Customer-centric mindset: Experience translating business and user needs into technical solutions that deliver measurable impact
You are
- Self-motivated and able to work independently, comfortable dealing with ambiguity when necessary. You take the initiative to ensure that you have everything you need to work effectively and ask for support when required.
- An advocate for the work of your team. You understand that building the platform is only half the job, and that listening to users and driving adoption is essential to success.
