In this role, you will: 

• Continue to scale a highly specialized engineering team to support the growing needs and complexity of our product and business organizations.
• Help the team find the best possible balance of the three most important aspects of Grammarly’s internal analytics platform: scalability and low cost in terms of infrastructure and engineering effort; low latency while processing and querying huge datasets; and limitless versatility in responding to data queries with deep insights (while also being very easy to use).
• Mentor engineers on the team, helping them advance in their careers. 
• Build relationships with all of Grammarly’s functions to generalize data needs and guide the roadmaps of our internal platforms.

• Embodies our EAGER values—is ethical, adaptable, gritty, empathetic, and remarkable.
• Is passionate about helping millions of users across the world communicate more effectively, every day. 
• Demonstrates a strong track record of building and leading productive engineering teams.
• Can execute complex projects with a high level of autonomy.
• Has experience building out a data warehouse or part of it (e.g., Marketing, Sales, Product etc.).
• Leads by setting well-understood goals and sharing the appropriate level of context for maximum autonomy but is also deeply technical and can dive in to help when necessary.
• Utilizes their strong communication skills to build productive relationships with their reports, peers, leadership, and cross-functional partners.
• Can guide the team to build optimal data models and efficiently utilize our data infrastructure.
