<p>The Data Management team is building the Trust Engine that powers the entire product. We are moving beyond simple data entry to architecting a self-healing, intelligent data ecosystem.</p>
<p>As a member of the team, you will contribute to the technical vision for how customers define, govern, and trust their data at massive scale. You will help design and build systems that govern the data lifecycle, including complex ingestion planning, semantic enrichment, and data observability — spanning backend infrastructure, APIs, and the product surfaces customers interact with directly.</p>
<p>You will be at the forefront of transforming data governance from a manual chore into an automated, AI-driven infrastructure that powers our 'Ask AI' and Data Assistant capabilities. You are helping solve the hardest problem in analytics: proving that the data is right.</p>
<p>The team is fast moving and you will be expected to iterate quickly and own, drive and achieve alignment on a variety of projects ranging from new product features to best practices and scalability of our codebase infrastructure.</p>
<p><strong>As a Senior Engineer, you will:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ship meaningful product end‑to‑end.</strong> Take ownership of well-scoped features and system improvements that measurably improve data quality, reliability, and the customer experience — from design through delivery.</li>
<li><strong>Contribute to technical direction.</strong> Participate actively in design discussions, propose solutions to complex problems, and help define patterns and practices that raise the quality bar for the team.</li>
<li><strong>Uphold operational excellence.</strong> Instrument the services you build, contribute to SLO definitions, respond to incidents, and improve the reliability of systems you own.</li>
<li><strong>Build for scale and correctness.</strong> Contribute to ingestion and governance workflows with an eye toward throughput, latency, and correctness — applying appropriate caching, testing, and resilience patterns.</li>
<li><strong>Build the foundations for trusted data.</strong> Work on capabilities such as a shared data health evaluation framework and APIs, event/property observability (anomalies, schema drift), safe clean‑up workflows, and metadata ingestion — often in collaboration with AI foundations, Pipeline/Query, and Go-to-market teams.</li>
<li><strong>Expand beyond events.</strong> Help architect support for non-event data models — including entities, metrics, and dimensional data — so custome ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
