Team Mandate

The Data Platform team is a small and mighty senior team that owns 5 major functional areas:  

• Batch Pipelines / Data Visualization - 40%
• Real-Time Data Streaming - 10%
• Software Development - 20%
• MLOps - 10%
• Terraform Deployments - 20%

While everyone has their area of preference & expertise, the team tries to be as cross-functional as possible to be able to support each area, with the exception of MLOps which is very specialized. This role is for mainly batch pipelines and terraform, but will also extend to the other categories as needed. 

Data Platform is one of 3 data specific teams: with the Data Science team & Customer Data Team. The Data Platform team works with many different other teams as well.

We’re very collaborative at League as we’re often faced with problems that we don’t necessarily know the answer for. We value critical thinking, discussion, learning and transparency over the “right” textbook skillset for the role. That being said, the range of skills we’re looking for is very wide and we can compromise as long as the candidate is transparent and open to learning.
