You are the single point of technical ownership for the architecture and viability of these integrated data platforms. 

Responsibilities

Data Product Ownership & Strategy 

  • Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of data products: from vision, design, and development to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement

  • Define and maintain enterprise-level cross-domain data products (e.g., Customer360, Asset360) integrating data from multiple domains and systems (CRM, ERP, IoT, operational systems)

  • Drive alignment between business priorities and data product design to enable self-service analytics and AI/ML initiatives (e.g., AssetBrain, CustomerBrain)

  • Establish and evangelize data product standards (semantic models, metrics, API contracts) and ensure adoption across domains

Solution Engineering  

  • Design modern, scalable, and secure data solutions leveraging cloud-native technologies (e.g., GCP, AWS or Azure)

  • Ensure alignment with target enterprise architecture, platform capabilities (e.g., ingestion, transformation frameworks, orchestration, CI/CD, DataOps), and data governance

  • Collaborate with data scientists, data engineers, and business SMEs to design products that support AI/ML use cases, predictive models, and operational analytics

Leadership & Collaboration 

  • Mentor and guide engineering teams in building reusable components, data models, and API 

  • Act as a key interface between platform engineering, domain engineering teams, product owners, and business stakeholders

  • Champion a data-as-a-product culture across the enterprise and promote platform enablement through data democratization

Governance, Quality & Compliance 

  • Embed data quality, security, privacy, and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC2, GDPR) into data product design

  • Ensure traceability, lineage, and auditability of data assets and metrics from raw source to consumption

Business & Stakeholder Alignment

  • Translate complex business requirements from sales, marketing, supply chain, and service into robust, scalable, and secure technical solutions

  • Collaborate closely with data governance councils and business data stewards to embed data quality and governance policies directly into the architectural design

  • Clearly articulate the technical vision, architectural decisions, and trade-offs to diverse audiences, from C-level executives to developers

What You Bring

  • Passion for designing and delivering data solutions that enable trust, reuse, scalability, and agility across the enterprise

  • Ability to translate complex business and data concepts into actionable, high-quality solutions that drive business value

  • Proven track record of delivering enterprise-grade data products in large-scale environments (preferably in data center, cloud infrastructure, or similar domains)

  • Strong sense of ownership, with a focus on building architectures and solutions that stand the test of time

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or related field

  • 15+ years of experience in Data Engineering / Solution Architecture roles, with at least 5 years in senior/principal level engineering or architecture

  • Experience in leading cross-domain data products (Customer360, Product360, Asset360, etc.)

  • Experience with data governance frameworks, metadata management, and enterprise data platforms

  • Knowledge of data privacy and security frameworks  

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience delivering analytics self-service capabilities, conversational analytics and enterprise dashboards using BI tools (e.g., Looker, Power BI, Tableau)

  • Familiarity with AI/ML operationalization, including enabling data pipelines for AI/ML model development and deployment.
