Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Design and own the technical architecture of Tilt’s Databricks Data Warehouse, including ingestion, storage, compute, orchestration, governance, and observability, serving as the primary architectural reviewer for the team.
- • Build, scale, and optimize secure, self-service frameworks for batch and streaming data pipelines to eliminate repetitive, manual requests and ensure consistent, reusable patterns across teams.
- • Treat the data platform as production software by defining and enforcing SLOs, owning data lineage and observability tooling, and leading incident triage and root-cause analysis to implement durable fixes.
- • Design and implement governance and multi-tenancy controls as first-class features, including least-privilege access, auditing, cost monitoring, and privacy-aware data patterns across app-team schemas and multiple Databricks workspaces.
- • Automate and harden data infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines to enable safe, scalable changes to the platform without introducing risk or downtime.
- • Raise the team’s technical standards through rigorous design and code reviews, mentorship, and by setting adoption-worthy patterns that are embraced for their quality, not compliance.
- • Make documentation a mandatory, first-class deliverable for every pattern or system built, ensuring analysts, data scientists, and AI agents can use the platform without needing to ask for help.
- • Lead the evolution of data infrastructure tooling using Python to develop internal systems for loading data from Databricks, Azure Event Hubs, and managing infrastructure via Terraform.
- • Operate with a pattern-first mindset: every project must leave behind a reusable, documented, and scalable system that prevents the same problem from being solved again.
- • Collaborate with Analytics, Data Science, and application teams to understand their needs and remove bottlenecks that slow down company-wide decision-making.
- • Act as a senior individual contributor without direct reports, influencing technical direction through expertise, collaboration, and architectural leadership.
- • Participate in company offsites at least twice per year, traveling to reconnect with the global team in person.
🎯 Requirements
- • 8+ years of data engineering or data platform experience, including significant time as a senior individual contributor building reusable infrastructure used by multiple teams at scale.
- • Demonstrated technical leadership in setting architecture direction, reviewing designs, and mentoring engineers on a data platform team.
- • Strong software-engineering fundamentals in Python (or another object-oriented language), including production-grade code, testing, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar) on Azure, AWS, or GCP.
- • Proven experience with data governance, security, and multi-tenancy — including least-privilege access, auditing, lineage tracking, and privacy-aware design.
- • Experience using AI-powered development tools (e.g., Claude, Augment) to enhance productivity, code quality, and team collaboration.
- • Ability to operate remotely across global time zones and contribute to a distributed team with high autonomy.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Virtual-first teamwork with WFH office reimbursement.
- • Competitive compensation packages and generous equity.
- • Comprehensive health plans with substantial global subsidies.
- • Direct exposure to leadership and rapid recognition of good ideas.
- • Paid global company offsites twice per year, including past locations like Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City.
- • Growth opportunities tied to contributions, not rigid promotion timelines.
