Vice President - LME Data Platform

Location:

CN-Shenzhen-HyQ

Shift:

Standard - 40 Hours (China)

Scheduled Weekly Hours:

40

Worker Type:

Permanent

Job Summary:

Lead the architecture, design, and technical strategy for the company's open-source data platform. Make the end-to-end technical vision — from ingestion to analytics — while mentoring a team of data platform engineers. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for design the blueprints and write critical-path code.

Job Duties:

Responsibilities

Architecture & Strategy

• Define the overall data platform architecture on OpenShift, covering the full lifecycle: ingestion (Kafka/Redpanda), compute (Spark, Flink, Trino), storage (MinIO, Iceberg), catalog (Polaris/Gravitino), orchestration (Airflow/Dagster), and serving (StarRocks/ClickHouse)
• Design the Data Lakehouse architecture: open table formats (Iceberg, Delta Lake), catalog federation, multi-engine interoperability
• Architect the real-time data path: Kafka topic design, schema registry (Apicurio/Confluent), stream processing (Flink/Spark Structured Streaming)
• Design the analytical serving layer: OLAP engine selection (StarRocks/ClickHouse/Doris), materialized view strategy, query federation with Trino
• Design multi-tenancy, data security (Ranger/OpenPolicyAgent), RBAC, and governance (DataHub/Atlas) across all platform layers
• Set technical standards for Helm chart design, CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux) workflows
• Own data lifecycle management: hot/warm/cold tiering across MinIO, compaction, retention, and GDPR/deletion compliance

Technical Leadership

• Lead a team of 3–6 data platform engineers; run code reviews, design reviews, and sprint planning
• Establish engineering best practices: testing, observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki), incident response, runbooks
• Partner with data engineering, analytics, and business teams to translate their needs into platform capabilities
• Define platform SLOs/SLIs across freshness, latency, availability, and durability; drive the on-call rotation and incident post-mortems

Hands-on Engineering

• Build and maintain the core OpenShift infrastructure: operators, Helm charts, namespaces, RBAC, network policies
• Develop Spark and Flink job frameworks, tuning guides, workload scheduling (YuniKorn/Volcano)
• Implement the data mesh or data product model: domain ownership, self-serve data infrastructure, federated governance
• Performance-optimize across the stack: Kafka throughput, Spark shuffle, Iceberg compaction, Trino query planning, OLAP cold reads

Required Skills & Experience

• 10 + years in data/platform engineering, with 3+ years as architect or tech lead
• Deep Kubernetes/OpenShift: operators, Helm, CRDs, admission webhooks, SCC, multi-tenancy at production scale
• Expert-level streaming: Kafka/Redpanda internals (partitioning, consumer groups, exactly-once semantics), schema registry, Kafka Connect
• Expert-level batch & streaming compute: Spark internals (Catalyst, Tungsten, AQE, shuffle, dynamic allocation), Flink or Spark Structured Streaming
• Strong open table format knowledge: Iceberg and/or Delta Lake — table format internals, metadata evolution, partitioning transforms, maintenance, catalog integration (Polaris, Gravitino, Nessie, or Unity Catalog)
• Hands-on with federated query engines: Trino (coordinator/worker architecture, connector ecosystem, fault-tolerant execution mode)
• Solid OLAP knowledge: StarRocks, ClickHouse, or Apache Doris — primary key models, materialized views, query optimization
• Production MinIO/S3-compatible storage at scale: erasure coding, multi-site replication, IAM, tiering
• Pipeline orchestration: Airflow (DAG design, sensors, dynamic task mapping) or Dagster
• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Pulumi/Crossplane) and GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux)
• Fluent in at least one JVM language (Scala/Java) and Python

Nice to Have

• Experience deploying dbt (data build tool) with Trino or Spark adapters for data transformation
• Data governance hands-on: DataHub or Apache Atlas for lineage, glossary, and metadata search
• Data security: Apache Ranger or OpenPolicyAgent for fine-grained access control
• Open-source contributions to any of the above projects
