Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end technical roadmap for the A&R and Fan Insights platforms. You will design scalable, secure systems capable of handling massive datasets with high performance.
  • Act as the technical lead for a small, expert squad. You will lead by example through architectural clarity, rigorous peer reviews, and a focus on maintaining high execution momentum.

  • Ensure high technical standards across both Frontend and Data disciplines. While the team is highly capable, you are responsible for the overall technical health, consistency, and long-term sustainability of the codebase.
