📋 Description

• Own our canonical data architecture — the schema, contracts, tenancy, and governance. • Make production data AI-ready: well-modeled, contract-enforced, lineage-tracked, and drift-detectable. • Own the canonical data model — the normalized definition of the core business objects shared across our products. • Define the multi-tenant data architecture: tenancy isolation, data residency posture, and per-tenant cost attribution. • Lead staged modernization toward the right mix of stores and patterns. • Own the architectural direction of the data pipeline and lake / lakehouse layer. • Drive hands-on prototypes, reference implementations, and in-repo guardrails. • Partner with database engineering on production data health while owning long-term architectural direction.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years in data architecture, data engineering, database administration, or analytics engineering, with 3+ years in senior / lead roles. • Demonstrated ownership of a canonical or enterprise data model / cross-product schema. • Hands-on MongoDB at production scale (Atlas M40+ ideal): document modeling, aggregation framework, indexing, change streams, sharding, replica sets. • Strong polyglot-persistence judgment. • Hands-on relational depth: schema design, indexing strategy, and query tuning. • Production experience making data AI/ML-ready: data architecture supporting RAG, semantic search, embeddings / vector pipelines, or agentic workloads. • Multi-tenant architecture experience: data residency and per-tenant cost attribution. • Pipeline / ELT / lake / lakehouse design at scale, with incremental migration strategies that minimize disruption. • Cloud-native data services (Azure, AWS, or GCP). • Strong grasp of data quality, testing, lineage, and monitoring.

🏖️ Benefits

• Comprehensive and competitive health benefits plan • Matching 401k contributions • 20 days annual PTO • Primarily remote work with occasional annual team onsites
