R&D Team Lead - Data Collection

Our team is looking for a super talented individual to lead our efforts in turning unstructured data into meaningful, actionable insights. As the R&D Team Lead for our “Goats” team, you will spearhead the development of systems that transform raw data into structured formats, analyse it in real-time, and deliver it to users through our platform while providing insights and true value.

Your Role

As the R&D Team Lead, you will manage a dedicated engineering team working across data pipelines, storage, and insights layers. You’ll collaborate closely with product, data science, and customer-facing teams to ensure our data-driven solutions deliver value at scale, and you will own both the technical architecture and team development.

What You’ll Do

• Mentor and manage a team of talented engineers, helping them grow and pushing the boundaries of what our data stack can achieve.
• Architect and deliver solutions that convert unstructured data into structured, high-quality data products, enabling real-time insights and automated exports.
• Build for scale: Ensure our data infrastructure is reliable, high-performance, and designed to scale as our offerings grow globally.
• Define and enforce best practices around architecture, testing, data quality, documentation, and team workflows.
• Monitor team health, velocity, and outcomes to ensure consistent improvement.
  
  

• 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or team-lead role.
• Proven experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP) and building complex data pipelines or data-driven systems.
• Strong technical competence in at least one high-level language (such as Python, Java or TypeScript) and experience with streaming, batch processing or real-time data systems.
• Demonstrable ability to work closely with cross-functional teams and deliver user-facing solutions from concept to production.
• Excellent communication skills in English and a collaborative mindset; comfortable translating technical ideas for non-engineering stakeholders.
• A passion for building culture, mentoring engineers, and driving high-impact teams.
