We are looking for a heavy-hitter to build the "Data Backbone" of our company. You will be responsible for the architecture, scaling, and reliability of the infrastructure that powers our Data Engineering and ML teams. Your goal is to provide a seamless, self-service environment where data scientists can go from a JupyterHub notebook to a massive Ray cluster or Trino query without worrying about the underlying hardware.

Responsibilities

• Senior Leadership: You’ve spent time in the trenches. You’ve been on-call for 2:00 AM outages and have built the automation to ensure those outages never happen twice.
• Tooling Polyglot: You don't just use tools; you contribute to them. You are comfortable writing Go or Python to extend Kubernetes Operators or automate data workflows.
• Self-Directed: You thrive in ambiguity. You can take a high-level requirement ("Make Trino faster") and turn it into a multi-week infrastructure roadmap.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or status as a protected individual to satisfy ITAR, contractual, and/or regulatory requirements.
