You will be responsible for taking data products from requirements through tech spec, implementation, validation and production rollout—partnering closely with data science on methodology, backend and frontend engineers on serving layers, and product on requirements. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in building and operating ETL pipelines at scale, a strong data quality and validation mindset, and a proven track record of owning datasets end-to-end in a cross-functional environment.
