Focuses on technological solution delivery by guiding and inspiring strong coding practices and solid software design decisions among their team.
Responsible for growing and mentoring engineers as it relates to technical skills and career development.
Assists with cross-team strategic efforts, influencing decisions to achieve efficient delivery of business value.
Understands cross-team technical roadmaps, advocating new product abilities based on technical strategy and constraints.
You will lead teams responsible for: Data Platform delivery (batch/streaming pipelines, governance, reliability, cost optimization) MDM (Master Data Management) platforms and services (trusted master records, stewardship workflows, integrations) API and service enablement (REST required; GraphQL a plus)
Manage, mentor, and develop a team of software engineers and senior engineers; support growth through coaching, feedback, and career development
Own execution against quarterly/annual goals; balance speed, quality, reliability, and cost
Oversee onshore/offshore delivery models: establish standards, code review practices, SLAs, and delivery cadences; delegate effectively while maintaining accountability
Communicate progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Evangelize Data Platform, MDM, and API capabilities to internal/external stakeholders, helping teams understand available offerings, best practices, and how to effectively consume platform services
Guide the design, development, and evolution of large-scale data platforms (ingestion, processing, storage, serving layers)
Own data platform workloads (SQL, Python, Spark, Delta Lake): design/optimize pipelines, notebooks, jobs, clusters, and workflows
Guide architectural decisions for batch and streaming systems (e.g., Kafka/Event Hubs), data lake/warehouse patterns, and analytics platforms
Ensure platforms are scalable, reliable, secure, observable, and cost-efficient
Drive continuous improvement: reduce toil, improve developer experience, and accelerate time-to-value
Enable real-time serving layer through APIs by providing technical leadership for enterprise-grade REST APIs (required) and GraphQL (preferred)
Guide teams building microservices (Spring Boot) and establish API standards: versioning, documentation, reliability, and performance
Ensure API security best practices (authN/authZ patterns, least privilege) and alignment with gateway standards
Lead and manage the team responsible for MDM platforms and services
Ensure creation and stewardship of trusted master data, data quality, and consistency across systems
Partner with business and governance teams to define domain ownership, stewardship workflows, and lifecycle management
Ensure effective integration of MDM with data platforms, operational systems, and APIs

Requirements

Bachelor's degree, or equivalent work experience
Six to eight years of relevant technical experience
Five or more years of leading a software engineering team
Strong experience leading delivery for large, complex, distributed systems, including prior hands-on work building data platforms
Strong experience with data platform technologies: Databricks, Snowflake, Spark, Delta Lake, SQL/Python notebooks, Jobs/Workflows (Airflow), and governance tooling (e.g., Unity Catalog, Collibra, Purview)
Proficiency in at least one backend programming language (e.g., Java, Scala, Python, Go)
Demonstrated experience in data pipeline design (ETL/ELT) and performance/cost tuning in cloud environments (Azure/AWS/GCP)
Strong security and compliance awareness (e.g., SOC2/PCI/GLBA/GDPR/CCPA concepts): access control, encryption/tokenization, PII handling, auditability
Experience with REST API architecture and service delivery; ability to guide microservices patterns and API governance
Strong CI/CD and DevOps experience, including automation, release practices, and operational excellence; familiarity with observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana).
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills; ability to lead through influence across engineering and business partners.
Fintech or highly regulated industry experience (payments, lending, risk, fraud, compliance) would be a huge plus
Experience guiding teams delivering AI/ML/LLM/agent solutions, with emphasis on reliability, privacy, monitoring, and guardrails would be a huge plus
