Department Technology, Data & AI About The Team The Data & Analytics team is Justworks' data and AI center of excellence — a connected set of functions spanning business intelligence, data science, analytics engineering, platform data/ML engineering and AI builders. We've grown significantly over the last several years and continue to build momentum across the business, leveling up maturity in how we deliver insights, govern data, and enable the company to make better decisions. You'll find a highly collaborative & diverse group motivated by craft, shared learning, and a genuine commitment to growing our impact for customers while evolving how we work together for our people. Come build with us! The Data Platform Engineering team sits at the core of this foundation, owning the pipelines, platform infrastructure, and reliability that every other DNA function depends on. Who You Are You're a hands-on engineering leader with deep experience building and operating modern data platforms. You've led teams through scale — evolving architecture, improving reliability, and making hard tradeoffs between speed, cost, and quality. You're as comfortable reviewing a PR or debugging a pipeline failure as you are setting quarterly roadmap priorities or presenting a platform strategy to senior leadership. You think in systems - how pipelines, orchestration, governance, and observability connect to produce a trustworthy platform - and you know how to build a team that operates with both craft and urgency. You develop engineers, set a high technical bar, and create an environment where people grow. You bring strong opinions grounded in experience with modern PaaS data stack technologies - Snowflake, Fivetran, Airflow, dbt, Estuary - and you've seen what works and what doesn't at scale. Snowflake is core to how we operate and you should have depth there. Reporting to the VP of Data & Analytics, you'll lead the data platform organization, setting technical direction, driving operational excellence, and ensuring the platform is reliable, scalable, and built to support the company's growth. Your Success Profile What You Will Work On Platform Leadership & Technical Direction Own the technical direction of Justworks' core data platform — pipelines, infrastructure, orchestration, and the standards that keep it trustworthy Lead architectural decisions on cloud data infrastructure, balancing scalability, cost, reliability, and security Drive operational excellence across the platform — observability, data quality, cost optimization, incident management, and SLAs Set and enforce engineering standards — testing, documentation, CI/CD, and code review best practices Maintain and evolve infrastructure as code, ensuring the platform is auditable, repeatable, and resilient Team Leadership & Development Lead and develop a team of data engineers, including direct line managers and individual contributors at various levels Set a high bar for engineering craft — mentor engineers, conduct architecture reviews,
