📋 Description

• Set the technical roadmap for the Reporting team, balancing new reporting capabilities with prioritized tech debt. • Architect and own the systems that power report generation, data ingestion, and query performance, working primarily in Python, Django, and ClickHouse. • Drive technical design discussions and decisions, working with engineers and stakeholders to land on the right architecture and trade-offs. • Evaluate the team's most pressing production and quality issues, diagnose root causes, and drive down their recurrence. • Improve our data pipeline and reporting architecture so the team can build more reports, over more data, faster. • Maintain our admin portal and reports portal, and build new report dashboards, working confidently on the frontend when needed. • Collaborate with product managers, customers, engineers, and other stakeholders to translate reporting needs into technical solutions. • Mentor senior engineers and help raise the technical bar across the team.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated impact at a staff/architect level. • Deep expertise in Clickhouse, Python, and Django. • Experience designing and scaling data-intensive systems (reporting, analytics, or BI platforms), including data pipelines, query performance, and large dataset handling. • Proven track record leading technical architecture decisions and driving technical design discussions across teams. • Experience in diagnosing systemic production issues and building durable fixes that reduce recurrence, not just patch symptoms. • Comfortable working across the stack, including frontend changes to admin and reporting portals. • You think critically about your work and ask questions to improve the product, not only its technical implementation but also how well it serves users' needs. • Strong communication skills and are able to explain complex technical topics to the entire team in a clear and concise way. When things inevitably break, you eagerly jump in to diagnose and fix the core issues. Experience working in an early-stage startup is a huge plus.
