Position Overview:
We’re looking for a hands-on Data Lead to architect and deliver end-to-end data features that power our booking and content management systems.

Job Responsibilities:

    • Lead the development and implementation of booking and CMS data features according to the roadmap.
    • Build, optimize, and manage robust data pipelines and ETL/ELT processes using tools like Airflow, DBT, and Databricks.
    • Oversee infrastructure and storage layers across distributed systems (e.g., Cassandra, MongoDB, Postgres), ensuring scalability, availability, and performance.
    • Support and partner with Data PMs to deliver clean, actionable data for reporting, analytics, and experimentation.
    • Handle client data queries, investigate anomalies, and proactively improve data quality and debugging workflows.
    • Manage a team of data engineers and analysts: provide architectural direction, review code, and support career growth.
    • Collaborate with DevOps/Platform teams on deployment, monitoring, and performance optimization of data services.
    • Champion best practices in data governance, version control, security, and documentation.

Basic Qualifications:

    • 8+ years of experience in data engineering or analytics engineering with a strong focus on both data modeling and infrastructure.
    • 2+ years of experience of managing and guiding data team to realize complicated data features.
    • Proficient in SQL, Python, and working with modern data stack tools (e.g., DBT, Databricks, Airflow).
    • Experience managing distributed and NoSQL databases (e.g., Cassandra, MongoDB), and cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery).
    • Strong understanding of scalable data architecture and real-time streaming pipelines is a plus.
    • Experience in leading teams, setting code standards, and mentoring junior developers.
    • Ability to translate business requirements into scalable, maintainable data systems.
    • Familiarity with booking platforms, CMS architectures, or event-based tracking systems is a plus!
We are proud to offer a competitive salary alongside a strong healthcare insurance and benefits package. The role is preferably hybrid, with 2 days per week spent in the office. We pride ourselves on the growth of our employees, offering extensive learning and development resources.
