  • Partner with product leaders to define the product strategy and roadmap for our data products, including data ingestion, transformation engines, and our data catalog.
  • Collaborate with product, design, and other engineering and business leaders to align on product vision and deliver products that solve complex customer problems.
  • Drive the product lifecycle from ideation and discovery to launch and post-launch optimization.
  • Take ambiguous business challenges and turn them into clear, actionable product requirements and strategies.
  • Be the voice of the customer, deeply understanding their needs to ensure our data products deliver unprecedented value and a seamless user experience.
  • Act as an advocate for technical excellence, pushing for solutions that are scalable, reliable, and secure at an internet scale.
  • Inspire and coach your team to continuously improve, fostering a culture of innovation and learning.
  • Build strong relationships across the organization, ensuring your team's products are seamlessly integrated and adopted by other teams.

What you will need

  • 12+ years of experience in engineering leadership roles, with a proven track record of building and launching data-centric products.
  • Deep expertise in data products, platforms with a strong understanding of the modern data stack (e.g., ETL / ELT, data governance, and data warehousing).
  • Demonstrated ability to work with data infrastructure teams to build scalable and cost effective products.
  • Demonstrated experience scaling products from "0 to 1" in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and inspire product and engineering teams to achieve ambitious goals.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate a compelling product vision to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience influencing cross-functional teams and senior leadership to gain buy-in and align on priorities.
  • A master of translating customer needs and market trends into a clear, compelling product strategy.
  • Skilled at making tough trade-off decisions based on data and business needs.
