# Head of Data Platform Engineering

Hi! We're UW. We’re on a mission to take the headache out of utilities by providing them all in one place. One bill for energy, broadband, mobile and insurance and a whole lot of savings! We’re aiming to double in size as we help more people to stop wasting time and money. Big ambitions, to be delivered by people like you. Got your attention? Read on… We put people first. It’s all about you. We’re looking for a senior engineering leader to shape and scale our enterprise data platform on Google Cloud. You’ll guide and grow three core teams-Data Infrastructure, Data Engineering, and DataSecOps-treating our platform as a true internal product with real users, clear SLAs, and a vision you help define. Right now, our biggest adventure is migrating our data estate onto a modern enterprise lakehouse, and you’ll be right at the heart of it. Because we believe the best leaders stay connected to the craft, this is a true player-coach role: especially in the early days, you’ll have the freedom to roll up your sleeves for hands-on architecture, coding, and solving tough incidents alongside your teams.
