Role
We are seeking a Director of Engineering to lead our Data Platform engineering group and drive the success of our flagship product. You must have exceptional technical skills, experience building and managing multiple teams, and a proven track record of execution and delivery against tight deadlines. You will co-own the development and execution of a strategy and roadmap to build and optimize foundational datasets and ensure the delivery of high-quality data across multiple verticals. You will be responsible for providing periodic C-suite updates on key operational and business metrics. You will manage multiple teams that support tier-1 services and respective engineering on-call rotations.
Customer perspective and needs are our top priority. Our customers are internal and external users of our data, our API, and all control surfaces required to support gamedays. We measure success based on data quality (accuracy, completeness, precision, recall, synchronization, etc.), API ease-of-use and quality of service (scale, latency, availability, etc.), and the ergonomics of our control surfaces (zero-engineering support on game days).
This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced leader to scale an existing organization for the future.
