Bridge Software & Data: Treat data infrastructure like a world-class software product, ensuring high availability, observability, and seamless performance.
The SaaS Mindset: You must have a proven track record of building data architectures for commercial SaaS products, not just internal company BI. You understand the classic software development lifecycle and how to build to prevent system outages.
The Data Stack: Deep, hands-on production experience with Databricks is preferred. (If your background is in Snowflake or BigQuery, that works perfectly too—provided it's paired with AWS).
The Cloud Ecosystem: AWS is highly preferred. It’s a high-trust, hybrid environment where your architectural choices directly impact the product's commercial success.
