Job Description

Director of Engineering – Data Platform

FormativGroup

• Lead a distributed engineering team across platform/product engineering, connectors, QA, DevOps/infra, AI implementation, data governance, and support. • Own delivery, quality, release discipline, and execution of the technical roadmap. • Install engineering discipline where it's thin: automated testing, QA, CI/CD, release governance, and versioning. • Drive repeatable, perimeter-safe deployments, including containerization, infrastructure-as-code, secure deployment, and SOC 2 readiness. • Partner with the Chief Architect on the connector framework, canonical metadata model, architecture decisions, and product IP. • Build the team: assess current talent, retain the strong, hire the gaps, and align the team plan to the roadmap. • Push practical AI use across coding, review, testing, ops, and engineering productivity.

Job Requirements

  • Engineering leadership experience; you have run and grown teams, managed engineers, owned delivery, and shipped real product.
  • Hands-on technical depth in data platforms, metadata, backend systems, or platform engineering; enough to earn the respect of strong engineers.
  • Experience building or rebuilding an engineering function from the ground up, especially in a startup or early-stage environment.
  • Experience installing testing, QA, CI/CD, release process, or quality practices where they did not already exist.
  • Experience leading distributed or offshore engineering teams across time zones.
  • Security and compliance literacy for regulated buyers, including SOC 2, audit logging, SSO, data security, or secure deployment.
  • Strong AI fluency, with concrete examples of how you use AI in your own work and across engineering teams.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Flexible work hours
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development opportunities
