You'll combine deep technical expertise with strong consulting skills to solve complex technical challenges, advise technical leaders, and communicate effectively with executive stakeholders.

  • Mentor engineers through architectural guidance, technical coaching, design reviews, and contribute to hiring, onboarding, and technical enablement.

About You

You are a client-facing technical leader who enjoys solving complex data challenges and driving clear outcomes from ambiguity. You are comfortable operating in distributed, global teams and partnering with colleagues across time zones. You combine strong communication and consulting skills with deep hands-on expertise in modern Data & AI platforms and engineering practices.
