What You Will Do

Provide full supervision and support for the local data engineering pod, spanning both data-platform and analytics/reporting work streams.
Manage team capacity, lead hiring to backfill and grow the pod, and define team charters that support a fast-evolving data platform roadmap.
Foster a high-performance culture across a distributed organization (Bangalore and EU), onboarding recent hires and establishing strong operational discipline (on-call/IRM, runbooks, incident response).
Plan and execute multi-quarter initiatives with many interdependencies (e.g., the data lakehouse re-architecture (Apache Flink on GKE), the dedicated CTV late-impression pipeline, and CI/CD automation (ArgoCD)) ensuring alignment with architectural standards.
Refine the team's engineering processes, methodologies, and technical standards: code quality, infrastructure-as-code, deployment automation, observability, and cost optimization.
Partner closely with Product Management, Backend Engineering, Data Science, and Analytics to align the platform roadmap with business objectives.
Stay active in technical implementation (estimated 50-70% hands-on): designing pipelines, delivering new product features, reviewing architecture and code, addressing tech debts, and troubleshooting production data issues.
Undertake production responsibilities including setting up monitoring and alerts, oncall support, troubleshooting, incident management and communication, and postmortem.
Independently design maintainable and scalable data systems for complex, high-throughput streaming and batch pipelines. Be aware and manage the infrastructure cost of data systems.
