Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of data engineers and software engineers building Factory Data's real-time ingestion pipelines, time-series databases, and data access APIs.
Hire exceptional engineering talent, building a high-performing team that balances speed, quality, and operational excellence in a critical data infrastructure role.
Set technical direction and architectural standards for Factory Data including data pipeline design, time-series database optimization, industrial protocol integration, and API design patterns.
Partner with manufacturing engineers, factory operators, and downstream consumers (LOKI, Applied Intelligence, ArsenalOS teams) to understand data requirements and ensure your team delivers reliable, high-quality data infrastructure.
Drive delivery and execution, ensuring your team ships high-throughput data pipelines on time while maintaining production stability and meeting availability SLAs for factory-critical systems.
Ensure your team writes production-quality code with comprehensive tests, participating in code review and establishing engineering best practices for data systems.
Own operational excellence for Factory Data including on-call rotations, incident response, data quality monitoring, and continuous reliability improvements.
Collaborate with infrastructure teams, DevOps/SRE, and downstream engineering teams to ensure seamless integration with edge compute, OT networks, and enterprise systems.
Deploy and operate systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters and OT networks, through your team's execution.
Champion the adoption of AI tooling (coding assistants, automation) and contribute to team engineering practices that improve development velocity.
Manage performance, provide regular feedback, and create growth opportunities for engineers on your team through coaching, mentoring, and career development.
Establish and track engineering metrics including data pipeline uptime, ingestion latency, data quality, throughput, and API availability to drive continuous improvement.
