Who You Are

You love to collaborate with fellow engineers, managers, designers, user researchers, executives, and customers, and inspire them to do their best. You relentlessly strive to excel in your craft and take pride in your craft. You are passionate about continuously improving what we deliver and how we deliver our products to customers. You take ownership of all the aspects of software design and architecture deliverables you are working on. You consistently seek understanding and clarity. You look at every interaction as an opportunity to educate, inspire, and learn. You aren’t afraid to ask questions. You have the humility and confidence to not be the smartest person in the room.

In this critical leadership role you will own the data architecture for the TetraScience Scientific Data Cloud, devising both the short and long term architectural strategies to achieve the vision of harmonized data, bridging the gap between heterogeneous instrument and software vendors and repeatable scientific data usage in integration, analytics, and AI / ML.

You will work closely with product leadership and the executive staff to ensure that the overall architecture plan and execution are in concert with the product strategy. This role will lead by example with a small team of architects to form and prototype architecture decisions and partner with engineering teams to implement. You will have come from a strong technical background and be able to demonstrate in code, and drive the technical direction of the data product and architecture around the use cases that we are solving for.

You are the steward of the world’s most consequential and valuable data - the very scientific data that is necessary to solve humanity’s grand challenges.
