Lovevery is one of the fastest-growing new consumer subscription businesses in the country with an exciting and growing need for data architecture created by the company's large and extremely loyal customer base and the increasing number of products and content services we are creating for them.

Our customers have been asking for us to deliver a digital product experience that is as meaningful as the physical product experience they already get from Lovevery. To do that well, we need a world-class data pipeline and infrastructure and we are hiring a seasoned Data Architect with graph database experience who is passionate about building systems to efficiently store and retrieve large amounts of dynamic data as well as optimizing our existing data storage and processes.

The following attributes in a candidate are paramount:

• Data Architecture Vision – Lovevery’s co-founders and investors have big plans for how the brand can help families digitally, and it is up to you to architect and deliver the data pipeline and storage elements of the platform to achieve the company’s vision. You will do it all in a way that lays the groundwork for a scalable offering of digital products to create an extraordinary and unmatched experience for Lovevery customers.
• Pragmatism – You will be building new digital products in this role, and you will also be rearchitecting eCommerce, data and analytics platforms, stitching together solutions to create the best experience in the most pragmatic way. You must have the ability to look beyond the current technology stack to get things done.
• Humble Hustle - This role requires both vision and the ability to execute. It is not just designing systems but also being a part of the implementation team.
• Quality-Focused - You will be a champion for building things in a robust and scalable way and developing a test suite to prevent regressions that will impact customers' experience with Lovevery.
• Business-Minded - You will define the ideal technical solution and at the same time articulate the building blocks and roadmap to that solution while working with the broader digital product team to articulate business trade-offs for each roadmap item.
• Strong collaboration - We’ve built a world-class team with passionate individuals who work well together and we only want to make the team even better. You must be able to communicate, collaborate, and work well with others from all different functions within the organization.
• Graph Database experience. We are looking for someone who hasn’t just dabbled but has implemented a consumer-grade graph database solution before.

We are obsessed with giving families the best products and content for early childhood, and this is an important role in making that happen at Lovevery. This role will report directly to the Senior Director of Digital Products and will grow with the company as the team scales. This is a strategic position for us, and we are only interested in top candidates who can grow with the business and can serve as a technical leader as the company grows.

If you are an experienced Data Architect with graph database experience and you have a passion for early childhood, you could be amazing in this role and be part of something special.

• Work with the analytics team and business stakeholders to understand data requirements and current use cases, with a continual drive towards providing clearer and more accurate and actionable data.
• Recommend solutions to improve new and existing database systems as well as make technical recommendations on make vs buy decisions.
