Our Data & Infrastructure teams own all data and foundational services like data pipelines, data warehouses, user management, configuration management, internal tools and more. The two teams are loosely coupled but work in cohesion to keep our product and data infrastructure reliable, secure, and scalable; and you will lead both of them.
WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Offense Roadmap Execution: You will collaborate with Product Management to plan, schedule, and execute roadmaps to increase product value for internal and external customers, ensuring that all projects have a well defined scope and priority, right owners, timelines, and deadlines and are getting done on time.
- Defense Roadmap Execution: You will wear a PM hat and work with your engineers and cross... functional stakeholders to conceive, plan, schedule, and execute roadmaps to make our services more reliable, secure, and scalable.
- Engineering Excellence: You will take initiatives to improve our engineering processes and culture and make our Product Engineering Organization world class.
