• Lead the design and development of systems that extract strategic insights from unreliable and fragmented market data
• Drive critical cross-functional initiatives by partnering with data science, security, product, and engineering teams to align technical solutions with business priorities and long-term strategy.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience
• 3+ years of engineering management experience
• Experience building and operating data pipelines and data platforms at scale
• Strong technical background and experience leading projects involving backend systems, infrastructure, or platform development
• Experience improving system reliability, performance, and observability
• Experience hiring, developing, and managing junior to staff-level engineers
• Stellar written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate to technical and non-technical audiences up to 3 levels above

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with systems that manage marketplace dynamics
• Machine Learning Experience: supervised and unsupervised learning techniques
• Cybersecurity Knowledge: Understanding of web scraping techniques and countermeasures.
• Masters Degree or higher in Computer Science or related field
