Head of Data Engineering & Platform

<p>In the early 1970s, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie built Unix around a deceptively simple idea: create small, composable tools that work well together. That philosophy went on to shape modern operating systems, developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, and much of the software we rely on today—not because any individual tool was revolutionary, but because the platform made everyone else more productive.</p> <p>We're looking for a Head of Data Engineering & Platform who can build the data platform that gives Mercury that same leverage—creating a foundation where trusted data is easy for both people and AI systems to discover, understand, and work with.</p> <p>In this role, you'll lead and grow a high-performing team of data engineers responsible for Mercury's core data infrastructure. You'll shape the architecture, tooling, and engineering practices that enable reliable analytics, accelerate product development, and enable the nex
