• Accountabilities
• Act as a technical reference across multiple Data teams, promoting engineering consistency and technical excellence while aligning platform evolution with broader product and technology objectives.
• Lead end-to-end data architecture decisions covering lakehouse, data warehouse, streaming, batch processing, and real-time processing, with a focus on cost, performance, scalability, and resilience.
• Drive the evolution of large-scale ingestion, capture, processing, data-quality, and data-delivery pipelines.
• Ensure the operational health of critical pipelines through clear SLAs, comprehensive observability, logging, metrics, data-quality monitoring, lineage, and mature troubleshooting practices.
• Evolve the Data Platform as an internal product by expanding self-service capabilities, reducing ingestion friction, and standardizing engineering practices for consuming teams.
• Identify and address structural bottlenecks involving infrastructure costs, ingestion times, data quality, technical debt, and organizational silos, with a medium- and long-term perspective.
• Mentor engineers and developers at different levels, encouraging technical growth, knowledge sharing, and adoption of engineering best practices.
• Serve as a key technical point of contact for Data across Product, Software Engineering, Infrastructure/SRE, Security, and Commercial teams.
• Provide technical leadership in complex initiatives and guide architectural decisions in environments involving ambiguity and multiple stakeholders.
• Requirements
• Proven experience leading highly complex projects involving the development or evolution of data platforms.
• Strong technical background in Data Engineering, with hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale ETL/ELT ingestion and processing pipelines.
• Practical experience with technologies such as Databricks, Spark, Kafka, and Mage/Airflow, with the ability to discuss architectural decisions in depth.
• Strong knowledge of modern analytical architecture paradigms, including lakehouse, data warehouse, streaming, batch processing, open data formats such as Parquet, Iceberg, and Delta, and analytical data modeling patterns.
• Ability to make and communicate sound technical decisions in ambiguous environments while aligning multiple stakeholders.
• Experience designing observability strategies, including metrics, alerts, dashboards, and monitoring for complex systems.
• Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills, with the ability to influence, align, and collaborate effectively across teams.
• Strong understanding of cloud analytics infrastructure costs, processing optimization, and trade-offs between managed and in-house solutions.
• Experience working with SaaS B2B businesses, particularly data-intensive industries such as supply chain, retail, fintech, ad-tech, or telecommunications, is a plus.
• Experience with customer-facing data products, rather than exclusively internal analytics environments, is desirable.
• Exposure to integrating AI/ML capabilities into an existing data platform is an advantage, even without direct ownership of MLOps.
• Experience with analytical-stack modernization programs, such as migrations from legacy platforms to lakehouse architectures, is beneficial.
• Knowledge of Data Governance and Data Quality practices is a plus.
• Relevant cloud certifications or training in AWS, GCP, or Azure, as well as governance frameworks such as DAMA-DMBOK or DCAM, are desirable.
• Benefits
• Fully remote or hybrid work options for professionals residing in Brazil.
