Responsibilities
• Own the Analytics Infrastructure: You are the end-to-end owner of our GCP-based data infrastructure — including ingestion, movement, storage, security, and availability. You build and operate reliable, scalable pipelines that power analytics, and partner closely with the Analytics team on downstream transformation and BI. • Maximize the GCP Ecosystem: Build cost-effective solutions anchored in GCP-native services. Know when to extend with third-party tooling or homegrown solutions, and make pragmatic tradeoffs. • Contribute Across Data Infrastructure: While analytics is the primary focus, you'll bring broad data pipeline expertise to application data needs in collaboration with the product engineering team. • Managed Services First: Favor managed solutions over self-hosting. Evaluate build vs. buy with cost and operational burden in mind. • Engineering Standards: This role reports to the Head of Data within the Engineering org. Expect PR reviews, automated testing, proper change management, and production-grade standards. • AI-First Development: Work extensively with AI coding assistants and contribute to evolving our AI development workflows and infrastructure. • Startup Pace: Priorities shift quickly. Balance long-term architectural thinking with the tactical execution the moment requires.
