About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Mature the foundations of our Snowflake-based platform — clean SLOs, deeper observability, stronger reliability practices — so we can build confidently on top
  • Design and ship the infrastructure for real-time and near-real-time feature serving, including training–serving consistency and feature freshness guarantees
  • Set the platform engineering standards: SLAs, monitoring, incident practices, cost discipline. The bar you set becomes the bar the team operates to
  • Partner with Pete and the Analytics team to draw clean ownership boundaries — Analytics owns "what & why" for features, you own "how & at what scale"
  • Grow the team from two to roughly four engineers over the next 12 months, hiring against the bar you've set
  • Run the day-to-day: planning, RFCs, incident response, technical mentorship. Hands-on where it counts

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • You've operated a cloud data platform at real scale — event ingestion, streaming, transformation, distributed systems — and you've seen what it takes to grow one 5–10x
  • You're fluent in production reliability. SLOs, freshness guarantees, replay strategies and silent-failure detection aren't abstract concepts to you
  • You've designed infrastructure for AI or ML in production — feature pipelines, online/offline stores, low-latency serving — not just used AI in your IDE
  • You've led engineers before, even a small team. You know what good 1:1s and growth conversations look like, and you'd rather stay technical than become a pure manager
  • You think in trade-offs out loud — speed vs. cost, simplicity vs. flexibility, build vs. buy — and you take a position when you have enough data, even when it isn't perfect
  • You see your job as making it easy for other teams to do the right thing. Contracts and tooling, not gatekeeping
  • You're energised by working at a growth-stage company that's still figuring some things out — and you read that as opportunity, not chaos
  • Bonus points for: B2C consumer products at high traffic, especially mobile-first
  • Strong experimentation culture
  • Shipping a user-facing AI feature (not internal tooling) and being able to walk through the infrastructure decisions behind it
  • OKR ownership at team level

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • A remote-first setup: work 100% from home, join a co-working space, or work abroad for several weeks per year
  • 30 vacation days to relax and recharge, plus 5 child sick days if your little one needs you
  • A focus-driven culture that values efficiency over long hours - no overtime expectations, and if it happens, you get that time back!
  • A high-impact environment where your work drives real change - short decision-making processes and no micromanagement
  • A team culture where ambition and balance go hand in hand, supported by strong connections - from our fully covered company retreat to team meetups and virtual coffee breaks
  • Tools and support to do your best work: MacBook, monitor, and €1,000 annual learning budget, plus regular feedback and career development
  • A truly international team with English as our company language and a shared commitment to growth and well-being - supported by Sunday Supplements and Nilo Health
