Data Team Lead (Hands-on)
Description
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Technical Team Lead to head the development of a new Cyber Platform. This is a hybrid, 50/50 role, splitting your time evenly between people management and core system architecture & development. You will lead a versatile engineering team composed mostly of Data Engineers, alongside Backend and Frontend developers.
In this role, you will be responsible for a distributed microservices architecture, complex cyber-data fusion, and large-scale data pipelines under strict SLA constraints, operating in both public Cloud and highly secure, closed On-Premises environments.
Responsibilities
- Leadership & Code Quality: Directly lead, mentor, and manage the team while actively conducting Code Reviews (CRs) and setting high engineering standards.
- Hands-on Development: Drive core system development (at least 50% hands-on) with a strong focus on Python.
- Architecture & Data Pipelines: Lead the design and architecture of distributed systems, high-performance data pipelines, and data-fusion algorithms.
- Environment Management: Build and deploy scalable solutions across both Public Cloud and secure, closed On-Prem environments.
- Optimization & SLA: Ensure data integrity and optimize complex bulk queries to meet strict response-time targets.
Requirements
- Management: 3+ years of experience leading a development team or serving as a Tech Lead for data/backend teams.
- Python Mastery: 4+ years of hands-on experience with Python (Must).
- Data Engineering: 5+ years of proven experience as a Big Data Backend or Data Engineer.
- Environments & Infrastructure: Deep understanding of Cloud environments alongside containerized On-Prem infrastructure (OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker, Linux).
- Databases: Strong experience with SQL and NoSQL (PostgreSQL and OpenSearch/ElasticSearch – a significant advantage).
- Data Ops & CI/CD: Proven experience processing large-scale data sets and working with CI/CD methodologies (e.g., GitLab).
- Education: BSc/BA in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
Advantages
- Background in the Cybersecurity industry or service in elite IDF technology units.
- Experience with vector embeddings and AI-based RAG systems.
- Experience with TypeScript (Frontend/Backend).
