About the role

As a Director, Data Platform Engineering, you will be the primary leader and visionary for the core data infrastructure that powers the entire enterprise.

• Platform-as-a-Product Delivery: Lead the development of internal SDKs, CLI tools, and automated orchestration frameworks
• Your goal is to ensure your team abstracts away cloud complexity via Control Planes and Custom Operators
• Ensure the team automates data lineage, PII masking, and fine-grained access control across petabyte-scale environments without sacrificing developer velocity
