LeadDataPlatformEngineer

HEY THERE You've spent a few years deep in data platform engineering and you're ready to lead one — without stepping away from the architecture, the RFCs, the trade-offs that decide whether a system scales or buckles. Set the bar, shape how it scales, stay deep in the tech while you do it. We're hiring a Lead Data Platform Engineer to take ours into its next chapter. Let's shape the future of nutrition together and make Yazio the most successful nutrition app worldwide! This role is 100% remote and open to candidates based in Germany, Spain, Portugal or the U.K. YOUR MISSION Yazio is entering a new phase where our data platform must support increasing scale, complexity and AI-powered product features. You, as the Lead of our Data Platform team will guide us through our next chapter: evolving it into the backbone for AI-driven personalization across a product used by over 2M people a day in 150+ countries. You'll lead a team of two senior engineers who know our product and our data inside out, and you'll take the platform from analytics enablement to AI-ready product infrastructure. In your first year, you'll: - Mature the foundations of our Snowflake-based platform — clean SLOs, deeper observability, stronger reliability practices — so we can build confidently on top - Design and ship the infrastructure for real-time and near-real-time feature serving, including training–serving consistency and feature freshness guarantees - Set the platform engineering standards: SLAs, monitoring, incident practices, cost discipline. The bar you set becomes the bar the team operates to - Partner with Pete and the Analytics team to draw clean ownership boundaries — Analytics owns "what & why" for features, you own "how & at what scale" - Grow the team from two to roughly four engineers over the next 12 months, hiring against the bar you've set - Run the day-to-day: planning, RFCs, incident response, technical mentorship. Hands-on where it counts YOUR PROFILE You'll feel at home here
