Director of Engineering, Data at Buildops · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Own BuildOps' data platform and architecture end to end, including ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and an ML and streaming strategy that evolves with the business and scales efficiently
Build scalable, repeatable customer and partner data onboarding capabilities that bring data into BuildOps quickly and reliably, reducing time to first value
Run data systems with production grade discipline, including monitoring, alerting, SLAs, incident response, lineage, freshness, and clear ownership for critical datasets
Create the data foundation required for AI and ML products, with accurate, well documented inputs today and the right training, inference, and feature infrastructure as those products mature
Establish governance that supports speed, including access controls, data classification, audit trails, PII handling, and practical data contracts that teams can depend on
Hire, develop, and lead a strong data engineering team, and establish the right operating rhythms across planning, on call, and stakeholder intake
What We Look For
10+ years in data or software engineering, including experience building and scaling teams of 10+ engineers, with a track record of hiring well, growing leaders, and leading through managers as well as individual contributors
Deep hands on experience with modern data platforms, including a cloud warehouse or lakehouse such as Snowflake or Databricks, dbt and ELT patterns, orchestration tools like Airflow, and streaming technologies such as Kafka or Kinesis, with AWS experience strongly preferred
Direct experience building data systems that support production ML use cases, not just analytics, with an understanding of feature stores, training data, real time inference, and the tradeoffs involved in building versus buying ML platform capabilities
A track record of operational excellence in data, including monitoring, SLAs, incident response, and data quality practices applied with the same rigor as customer facing systems
Experience delivering customer facing data products such as reporting, analytics, or APIs in B2B SaaS environments where performance, reliability, and trust matter
