About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Define and drive the data engineering technical strategy, architecture decisions, and platform roadmap aligned to company objectives
  • Lead and deliver large-scale, complex data initiatives—spanning multiple teams and iterations—from ambiguous problem definition through production deployment
  • Design robust, scalable data architectures (batch and streaming) that support Kueski's long-term business needs at scale
  • Demonstrated success shaping and executing an AI-centric data strategy that leverages the latest AI technologies to accelerate value delivery, enable trusted self-service data consumption, and strengthen data quality, governance, and organizational decision-making.
  • Identify the limits of existing tools or processes; lead the design and build of new capabilities when current solutions fall short
  • Shape, standardize, and champion data engineering methodologies, best practices, and technical standards for the team and department
  • Develop and own CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code for reliable, automated data platform operations
  • Drive data quality, observability, and governance programs across the data platform
  • Apply data cleansing techniques to facilitate data consumption and quality across the platform
  • Partner cross-functionally with Data Science, ML, Analytics, Platform, and Product teams to deliver data-driven solutions end-to-end
  • Represent data engineering in cross-organizational initiatives; support and lead efforts outside the core area of responsibility
  • Mentor and guide Data Engineers at all levels; constructively challenge assumptions and elevate team quality through code review, pairing, and coaching
