• Role Overview: This is a pivotal leadership role on the Management Track, responsible for end-to-end data outcomes for the function. The Lead Engineer ensures the quality of engineering execution, manages team utilization and resource allocation, and serves as the primary technical representative in cross-functional forums with Marketing, Strategy, and Product teams.

4. Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of scalable and efficient cloud-based data pipelines and architectures.
• Build reusable data solutions and software components that serve multiple customers and use cases.
• Architect cloud environments using GCP, ensuring best practices in IAM, Security, and Networking.
• Conduct Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on clickstream and behavioral datasets to derive insights.
• Manage end-to-end ETL processes, including data extraction, transformation, and loading using Python, SQL, and Airflow.
• Design and build production-grade software (APIs, services, internal tools) with sound engineering practices — version control, testing, CI/CD, and code review.
• Extend data platforms with AI capabilities — integrating LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows where they add clear business value.
• Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and resolve data quality, pipeline, or application issues.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Insights, Product, and Engineering teams to align data initiatives with business goals.
• Document architectures, design decisions, and operations clearly and consistently.
• Coach and mentor team members, ensuring technical excellence and continuous learning.
• Participate in recruitment and knowledge-sharing through interviews, blogs, and webinars.

5. Must-Have & Good-to-Have Skills

Must-Have Skills:

• Strong understanding of clickstream data and data pipeline architecture
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP)
• Expertise in SQL, Python, and Airflow
• Solid software engineering foundation — API design, testing, version control, and deployment practices
• Proven ability to perform exploratory data analysis and data validation
• Knowledge of cloud security, IAM, and networking best practices
• Working knowledge of building or integrating AI/LLM-based components into existing systems
• Excellent problem-solving, stakeholder management, and communication skills

Good-to-Have Skills:

• Certifications such as: Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer / Cloud Architect
• AWS Certified Data Analytics or Azure Data Engineer Associate
• Google Analytics 4 (GAIQ)
• Experience in marketing attribution, commerce data, or analytics ecosystems
• Exposure to cost optimization and cloud resource management
• Experience with agent frameworks (LangChain, ADK, MCP) or LLM APIs
• Experience building automation frameworks or internal data tools

6. Not-a-Fit Criteria

• Individual Contributor Focus: Operates as the team's best individual contributor instead of building team capability or empowering L3s.
• Information Hoarding: Keeps architectural patterns or tribal knowledge trapped in their head rather than creating reusable playbooks and documentation.
• Avoidance of Conflict: Avoids difficult performance conversations with underperforming team members, allowing capability gaps to persist.
• Activity Over Outcomes: Measures success by "tasks completed" rather than pipeline stability, data accuracy, or business impact.
• Functional Siloing: Fails to build partnerships with Marketing or Product teams, leading to misaligned data delivery.
