Responsibilities

The opportunity

  • Take ownership of an existing data function and scale it to match Breakout's next stage of growth
  • Report directly to the COO with full mandate to elevate data maturity across the business
  • Evolve current pipelines and infrastructure into a reliable, scalable data platform
  • Expand self-serve analytics so every team can access insight without depending on engineering
  • Grow and lead the data team, hiring, mentoring, and setting the bar for craft
  • Establish data governance, quality standards, and a shared data model that the whole company trusts
  • Build data products where AI agents are first-class consumers of the data layer — the analytics framework already serves LLM-based tools, and you'll extend this into a core capability
  • Leverage Kraken's global infrastructure to accelerate what Breakout can build
  • Partner with product, finance, ops, and growth to embed data into strategic decisions
Requirements

Skills you should HODL

Technical depth

  • 10+ years in data engineering, data warehousing, or a senior data infrastructure role
  • Expert-level SQL and data manipulation skills using Spark, PySpark, or equivalent big data frameworks, with proven experience processing high-volume, high-velocity datasets
  • Deep expertise in data lake and data warehousing technologies and data modeling best practices (Presto, Athena, Glue, Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalent)
  • Extensive experience designing and operating data pipelines and ETL/ELT workflows in Airflow or similar orchestration frameworks, with solid grounding in software design principles
  • Strong Python proficiency; familiarity with streaming technologies such as Kafka or Apache Flink is a strong plus
  • Hands-on experience translating complex business requirements into robust data sourcing and modeling solutions
  • Exposure to data mesh or data product frameworks

Leadership & strategy

  • Proven track record leading and growing data teams, hiring, mentoring, and setting engineering standards
  • Experience operating as a senior stakeholder, translating data strategy into business outcomes for a CEO or executive team
  • Track record of evolving a data function through a growth inflection, scaling what exists, not just maintaining it
  • Experience in a high-growth startup, post-acquisition integration environment, or regulated industry (fintech or crypto a plus)
  • Ability to balance hands-on technical contribution with organisational leadership
