Job Summary
Build and lead the data platform team that powers Hadrian's autonomous factories, transforming raw inputs from CNC machines, PLCs, and engineering files into trusted datasets for scheduling, analytics, and ML. Own the roadmap for ingestion, CDC, event streaming, and the warehouse/lakehouse stack, turning ambiguous needs into clear priorities and paved roads for other engineering teams. Raise the operational bar for reliability, data-quality SLAs, and incident response while partnering on architecture for Snowflake, Iceberg, and orchestration. Hire and grow exceptional engineers, setting clear performance bars and delegating real ownership to build a team capable of scaling across multiple manufacturing facilities.

- Experience taking a data or infrastructure platform from an early working system to a broadly adopted internal product used by many teams
- Experience operating in security-sensitive or regulated environments such as aerospace, defense, FedRAMP, CMMC, or other environments where data governance and access control are part of the architecture
- A track record of building strong hiring and onboarding systems and helping senior engineers become effective technical leads, Staff+ engineers, or future managers
- U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
