Lead the design and implementation of Procore’s next-generation data platform, focusing on distributed SQL and NoSQL databases.
Support the engineering team across all phases of the software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, technical design, development, testing, deployment, and support.

Identify technical gaps in the data platform and run proofs-of-concept and experiments to propose solutions.
Collaborate with Product and development teams to influence the product roadmap and deliver innovative data solutions.
Stay current with emerging data technologies and educate the organization on best practices.
What we’re looking for

Deep expertise in infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and Ansible, container orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines, with proven experience designing and delivering production-grade platform solutions.
Strong programming experience in Python, Go, Java, or similar languages for building automation, tooling, and platform services.
Experience leading database projects, mentoring engineers, and influencing technical direction across teams.
Expertise in applying AI-assisted SQL optimization, code generation, and debugging tools to improve database performance, reduce operational toil, and empower engineering teams.
Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with the ability to drive technical discussions, influence stakeholders, and build consensus across teams.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
