About the role

  • Define, own, and evolve the architecture of core data-heavy subsystems, balancing scalability, reliability, and cost, with a 2–5 year technical horizon aligned to business goals.

  • Lead the design and delivery of AI/ML-powered features, translating ambiguous product ideas into production-ready systems with clear performance, reliability, and cost constraints.
  • Partner closely with Product, Platform, and Customer-facing teams to ensure features are well-integrated, observable, and optimized for long-term maintainability—not just short-term delivery.
  • Set a high engineering bar through hands-on code reviews, architectural guidance, and direct accountability for code quality, security, and operational readiness.
