Key Responsibilities

  • •Lead a team of senior data, infrastructure and backend engineers creating a supportive environment where people can grow and do their best work
  • •Collaborate closely with Product, Data Production, and key internal customers to define and deliver on a clear vision and roadmap with shared alignment on metadata, taxonomy requirements, and data format standards
