• Scale: You will drive engineering excellence across the organization, partnering with GTM Strategy and Ops to ensure our data infrastructure is both resilient and future-proof. You will establish the patterns for automation, monitoring, and CI/CD that enable our data ecosystem to grow in tandem with the company’s demands.
