Lead the Scan Team at DataGalaxy, focusing on connectivity and ingestion for data governance. Drive architecture, hands-on development, and team leadership in a fast-growing startup.
Responsibilities
Own the Scan domain technical direction: connector architecture, ingestion reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
Contribute directly with hands-on development (you will code regularly).
Lead design reviews and establish shared practices (quality, testing, observability, maintainability).
Turn product needs into clear technical plans, align stakeholders, and deliver iteratively.
Build and maintain connectors integrating with third-party REST APIs and platforms (OAuth2/API keys, pagination, rate limits, retries, webhooks when relevant).
Normalize and map external data models into DataGalaxy’s internal model with good data quality and consistency.
Maintain our desktop application written in Kotlin used for connector development/operations (configuration, debugging, validation workflows, diagnostics).
Improve developer and operator experience: packaging, configuration, troubleshooting, and usability.
Apply and promote testing practices (unit/integration; contract tests where relevant).
Improve observability (logs/metrics/traces), monitor connector health, and lead investigations for production issues.
Support the team’s growth through mentoring, pairing/mob sessions, and constructive feedback.
Lead PR reviews and help the team make sound trade-offs.
Coordinate with other squads when changes touch .NET services or Angular UI.
Requirements
Proven experience building backend services with Kotlin.
Hands-on experience with Maven in production projects (multi-modules, dependency management, build/release pipelines).
Experience integrating external REST APIs and third-party platforms with real-world constraints.
Good foundations in system design for reliability: resilience patterns, idempotency, consistency, performance, and operability.
Solid understanding of SQL and relational databases (schema design, indexing, migrations, performance).
Comfortable with Git workflows and collaborative code reviews.
Experience applying testing practices and writing maintainable, testable code.
Comfortable working with cloud/production constraints (deployments, monitoring, incident/debug workflow).
Proficiency in English.
Familiarity with the data domain (warehouses/lakes, catalogs, orchestration) and governance concepts.
Experience integrating data platforms such as Databricks (and/or similar ecosystems: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, etc.).
Understanding of metadata, lineage, schemas, and common enterprise data integration patterns.
Comfortable working with AI-assisted development tools (e.g. coding agents, copilots) as part of your daily workflow, and open to evolving your practices as these tools mature.
Experience building desktop applications in Kotlin (JavaFX / Compose for Desktop / Swing).
Experience with .NET (C#) services in a heterogeneous stack.
Angular knowledge (or frontend fundamentals) to support connector configuration/visibility in the product UI.
Experience with Kubernetes (especially EKS) and observability tooling.
Experience with event-driven ingestion patterns and/or queue-based processing.
