Head of Data Engineering | B2B Intelligence | Build a 0-to-1 Global Data Platform
1️⃣ The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join a highly profitable, scaling B2B information services firm as they build a brand-new intelligence platform. This venture is designed to disrupt legacy market databases by merging proprietary human insights with massive public datasets.
The data engineering function is transitioning from a reactive service desk into a proactive, product-minded profit center. You will be the technical visionary responsible for architecting a modern data mesh from the ground up.
You will have the autonomy to make core architectural decisions and the leadership mandate to rebuild a dedicated engineering squad. This is a "founder-level" opportunity to create a career-defining product in a market growing 15% year-on-year.
2️⃣ What You’ll Be Doing
- Architect the modern data stack using AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, dbt, and Iceberg.
- Write high-quality code and lead by example as a hands-on technical authority.
- Transform the data function into a scalable, product-led engineering ecosystem.
- Establish technical guardrails that allow domain teams to operate with autonomy.
- Partner with Data Science to build robust pipelines for complex machine-learning models.
- Mentor and grow a team of senior engineers within a high-performance culture.
- Leverage AI coding tools to accelerate development and drive rapid innovation.
- Own the long-term technical roadmap and evolve the platform as it scales globally.

4️⃣ Why Join?
This role offers the rare stability of a profitable firm combined with the "greenfield" excitement of a startup. You aren't maintaining legacy code; you are building the foundation of a new asset class.
- Impact: Move from a service-based function to a strategic, revenue-driving product owner.
- Autonomy: Full ownership of the stack and the architectural "consequences" of your choices.
- Growth: Work in a recession-resilient industry with consistent double-digit annual growth.
- Flexibility: Fully remote working environment with a focus on high-impact output.
- Compensation: Highly competitive salary with flexibility for elite profiles.
