What You'll Be Doing
- Own and drive end-to-end delivery of large-scale data infrastructure programs (ex: data lake, data platforms, pipelines, etc)
- Partner with Hardware engineering and data engineering teams to define roadmaps, scope, and technical requirements
- Translate ambiguous business needs into structured plans with clear milestones, risks, and dependencies
- Manage cross-team coordination, program governance, status tracking, reporting, and stakeholder communication
- Identify and mitigate risks, resolve blockers, and drive timely decisions across all initiatives
- Improve operational efficiency by introducing scalable processes, tools, and best practices
- Ensure reliability, scalability, performance, data quality, observability, and governance standards are embedded in all initiatives
- Drive post-launch evaluations, retrospectives, and continuous improvement
- B.S. (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science or a related technical field
- 12 years of technical program management experience, including ownership in data infrastructure, distributed systems, or on-prem platforms at large scale (multi-TB/day)
- Familiarity with data ecosystems (ex: ETL/ELT pipelines, data lakes/warehouses, etc) and technologies like Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Snowflake, or similar ecosystems
- Strong understanding of system design concepts such as scalability, reliability, and performance
- Demonstrated experience partnering with highly technical engineering teams and driving products from concept through delivery
- Analytical approach, including defining success measures, tracking adoption, and finding opportunities to improve workflow efficiency
- Excellent cross-functional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority across multiple teams
- Experience working in environments with geo-distributed teams and complex collaboration requirements
- Track record of driving adoption of internal platforms and influencing engineering culture
- Experience supporting hardware or silicon development environments, including pre-silicon development workflows
