Hello, we are AMBOSS and we are looking for a Data Platform Lead to join our team!

ROLE OVERVIEW

As Data Platform Lead you will be the people manager of a small, senior data-engineering squad and the domain expert steering our end-to-end platform strategy. You’ll own the roadmap, architecture, and delivery of a reliable, self-service data platform that lets analysts, scientists, and product teams move fast and trust their numbers—ultimately powering clinical outcomes for users in 180 countries.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Set the course. Own and sequence the data-platform roadmap—warehouse evolution, cost-to-serve optimization, and more.
• Own the Single Source of Truth for the entire company, ensuring stakeholders in different departments and functions speak the same “data language” and use the same metrics.
• Build the team. Hire, mentor, and grow 3-5 Data Engineers; run clear goal-setting and feedback cycles.
• Architect for scale. Design and review core components (batch & real-time pipelines, modeling layers, governance, observability, CI/CD).
• Deliver the big moves. Lead large migrations or new platform initiatives.
• Raise the bar. Codify engineering standards for code quality, testing, reliability, and incident response.
• Partner & influence. Work closely with Analytics, Product, and Infrastructure to balance speed with tech debt and evangelize best practices.
• Stay tool-agnostic. Evaluate, pilot, and—when needed—retire technologies based on evidence, not hype.
