ABOUT THIS POSITION

We are seeking a Lead Data Engineer with extensive experience in data infrastructure to join our team.

We need a proactive, solutions-oriented engineer who can rapidly master our current self-hosted systems, identify performance bottlenecks, strategically guide our infrastructure into the future, and lead the team through major, large-scale projects.
