## About the Role

We are seeking a high-caliber Staff Software Engineer to serve as a technical lead and architect for our future-state Data Services platform. This role requires an engineer who possesses strong core computer science fundamentals-excelling in algorithmic problem-solving, hands-on coding, and system design-while bringing deep domain experience in data governance and data management., * Strong Software Engineering Fundamentals: Deep proficiency in software architecture, and problem-solving, with proven hands-on coding capabilities in languages such as Python, C++, Java, Scala, or Go.

 * 7+ Years of Industry Experience: Track record in software engineering, data management, data governance, metadata platforms, or enterprise data architecture.
 * Data Governance & Management Mastery: Comprehensive understanding of core data governance concepts including data cataloging, metadata management, lineage tracking, data quality frameworks, observability, stewardship, and semantic layers.
 * Platform & System Design Expertise: Demonstrated success architecting distributed systems, data pipelines, metadata integration workflows, and API-driven data platforms.
 * Hands-On Experience with Data Tools: Exposure to or experience implementing mature enterprise data platforms (e.g., DataHub, OpenMetadata, Collibra, Alation, Atlan, Purview) or custom internal equivalents.
 * Technical Influence & Communication: Proven ability to lead architectural discussions, communicate complex technical topics to diverse stakeholders, and mentor engineering teams., * Semantic Technologies & Knowledge Graphs: Experience with semantic technologies, knowledge graphs, ontologies, and master/reference data management.
 * AI/ML Integration: Familiarity with AI/ML-driven data governance automation (e.g., automated data classification, anomaly detection, metadata enrichment, automated lineage inference).
 * Leadership Track Record: Background serving as a Manager, Tech Lead, Platform Architect, or Principal SME in an enterprise-scale data ecosystem.

## Description

* Drive Technical Leadership & Architecture: Define future-state architecture patterns and engineering standards for metadata capture, lineage, data quality, observability, data contracts, and semantic modeling.
 * Translate Data Concepts to Scalable Code: Transform data governance and data management capabilities into production-ready software patterns, reusable APIs, metadata flows, and platform workflows.
 * Hands-On Development & Prototyping: Actively write clean, optimized code, construct prototypes, bootstrap critical modules, and validate technical implementations to de-risk complex platform updates.
 * Unify Data Services Capabilities: Partner across Data Governance Services, Data Integrity Services, Common Data Products, and Usage Data Products to connect disparate services into a seamless, cohesive platform.
 * Provide Cross-Team Technical Enablement: Collaborate closely with engineering leads, product managers, data stewards, and data engineers to reduce duplication, enforce standards, and elevate engineering quality.
 * Evaluate & Innovate: Stay current with modern enterprise data management tooling and industry trends; evaluate build vs. buy choices and import proven patterns from mature data organizations.
