You'll drive platform architecture decisions spanning deployment models, data pipeline efficiency, system scalability, and enterprise security, partnering hands-on with Data Engineering, Platform Engineering, and DevOps teams to make critical architectural decisions. If you have a strong engineering background, love building platforms alongside developers, and want high-impact ownership in mission-critical infrastructure, join us at LineVision, Built In Best Places to Work!

Requirements

  • Engineering Background (Required) - 4-6 years hands-on software, data, or systems engineering building production systems. You've written code, debugged production issues, and built reliable platforms at scale.
  • Platform Product Management - 3-5 years owning data platforms, developer platforms, or infrastructure products. You've driven architectural decisions and platform roadmaps.
  • Data Platform Expertise - Deep understanding of data pipeline architecture, ETL processes, data modeling, and real-time data at scale. You discuss database trade-offs, processing frameworks, and performance optimization with architects.
  • Deployment Architecture - Strong knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), deployment automation, and cloud vs. on-prem architectural trade-offs.
  • Technical Decision-Making - Lead technical trade-off discussions, make architecture decisions, and drive consensus with engineering teams based on deep technical understanding.

Nice To Haves

  • Engineer-to-PM - You started as an engineer/data engineer and transitioned to product to drive broader platform strategy while staying deeply technical.
  • Platform Passion - You're passionate about infrastructure that enables other teams. You get excited about data pipelines, deployment architecture, API design, and system scalability.
  • Monolithic-to-Platform - You've evolved monolithic systems into modular, platform-based architectures. You understand service decomposition and building for reusability.
  • Architectural Thinking - You think in systems. You naturally discuss data flow, storage strategies, processing frameworks, deployment models, and how components interact.
