Job Description

As a Staff Engineer in Data Platform Services team, you'll architect and lead the evolution of metadata services at the heart of our analytics platform: data contracts, the Data Product Catalog, data quality and observability frameworks, and data delivery/subscription systems. Analytics drives everything at Lytx—from collision prevention to driver coaching across 700,000 vehicles worldwide. You'll build the platform capabilities that enable domain teams to confidently deliver analytics-powered safety features at multi-tenant scale with low-latency delivery and enterprise-grade governance. If you want to build the platform that makes analytics-driven safety possible at scale, this role is for you.

You'll Get To

Architect foundational services that power the entire platform — Design and operate the Registry, Catalog, Data Quality/Observability, and Delivery services that enable hundreds of data products across the organization
Define the developer experience — Build contract-first APIs and libraries with bulletproof versioning and compatibility guarantees that make domain teams lives easier and safer
Own production excellence — Instrument services with comprehensive observability (metrics, logs, traces) and define SLOs that you'll actually meet, ensuring the platform our teams depend on stays rock-solid
Multiply team velocity — Partner with domain teams to adopt data contracts, onboard to the catalog, and integrate quality frameworks—turning platform capabilities into accelerated feature delivery
Shape engineering standards — Drive code quality through meaningful reviews, write documentation that developers actually want to read, and elevate team practices that scale
Solve performance at scale — Profile and optimize systems handling multi-tenant workloads, balancing sub-second latency requirements with cost efficiency across 3,000+ clients
Drive platform evolution — Author Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), champion harvested-platform patterns, and push the boundaries of what our infrastructure can enable
Stay ahead of the curve — Evaluate emerging technologies in the data platform space and bring forward recommendations that give us competitive advantage
