• Lead conflict resolution, Incident Management, and prioritization of Change Control Board (CCB) requests. 

• Lead the creation of written incident reports, success stories, and communications for internal and external audiences as needed, ensuring timely delivery. 

• Drive data-driven decision-making by defining KPIs and metrics to measure the performance of the Big Data Platform and the team.  

• Attract, hire and retain top engineering talent. 
• Mentor and develop team members, fostering their growth and motivation to ensure continued development. 

 

What You Bring to the Role: 

• Software engineering experience in the Big Data Storage domain, with at least 3 years of experience in leading and managing engineering teams.
• Hands-on experience with modern Big Data technologies, such as Phoenix/HBase, Redshift, Presto/Athena, Hive, Spark SQL, Snowflake, Impala, BigTable, BigQuery, Druid, and Clickhouse.
• Familiarity with messaging layers (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis) and cloud/container-based deployments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience in a complex, service-oriented software development environment, with a preference for experience in building large-scale microservices.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, start-up environment with ambiguity and to operationalize emerging technologies.
• Demonstrated success in leading high-performance teams with timely and high-quality project deliveries.
• Proven track record in developing and commercially deploying highly scalable storage platforms utilizing various database technologies.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong customer focus, proactive problem-solving, innovative thinking, and exemplary leadership skills to inspire and drive team performance and innovation.
