About the Role

The Data Governance Platform team’s mission is to build robust data platforms and establish policies that guarantee the analytics data is of high quality, easily accessible/cataloged, and compliant with financial and privacy regulations, fostering trust and confidence in our data-driven decision-making process.

The team consists of a mix of experienced veterans of stream processing from prestigious companies and some inspiring and passionate budding streaming engineers.

This platform aims to unify multiple existing metrics systems which together offer a complex mix of overlapping and disparate features into a consistent offering that provides all necessary features that our customers need in a simple and intuitive manner. The goals of the platform are to standardize metric definitions, standardize access to metrics data for consumption as well as standardize metric computations across the full spectrum of batch to near real-time.
