• Independent Execution: Must be a self-starter capable of taking a high-level concept from the SVP and driving it to completion with minimal supervision.
• Experience: 10+ years in Data Engineering, with at least 3 years in a Principal or Architect capacity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Incident Management: A history of successfully diagnosing and resolving complex, large-scale production bottlenecks and data outages.
