About the Role
You’ll lead two core systems inside Veeam Data Command Center: the Knowledge Graph and the hyperscale data lake integrations. Together, they help customers understand where sensitive data lives, who can access it, how it moves, and whether AI models trained on it can be trusted.
You’ll lead multiple teams building a searchable, security-aware graph that works at enterprise scale. This role is for a hands-on technical leader who can set clear direction, grow strong teams, and deliver reliable systems—while building an AI-first engineering culture with high standards for quality and security.
What You’ll Do
- Set the technical vision and end-to-end architecture for the Knowledge Graph, including the data model, storage engine, and query layer at very large scale
- Guide the evolution of the graph schema for data sources, identities, access, classifications, and lineage (property graph and/or RDF) using Amazon Neptune and/or Neo4j
- Own the strategy for hyperscale lake and lakehouse integrations, including connectors and scanning engines that ingest metadata and lineage from Delta Lake, Iceberg, Parquet/Avro, and platforms like Azure Data Lake, AWS S3/Glue, and BigQuery without disrupting production
- Drive performance and reliability, including standards for indexing, partitioning, and query planning, and tuning traversals and queries (Gremlin, Cypher/openCypher, SPARQL)
- Build and scale an AI-first engineering approach where teams use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot responsibly, with guardrails for security, maintainability, and code quality
- Invest in reusable engineering building blocks (including “Claude skills” and agent workflows) that make teams faster and more consistent
- Own delivery outcomes: roadmap execution, operational readiness, incident learning, and cross-team alignment
- Hire, coach, and develop leaders, including engineering managers and senior/staff engineers, with clear expectations and growth paths
What You’ll Bring
- 10+ years of software engineering experience in data infrastructure, graph systems, or distributed data platforms
- 4+ years of engineering leadership experience, including leading through managers and scaling multiple teams
- Strong production experience with Amazon Neptune and/or Neo4j, including scaling, operations, and trade-offs (property graph vs. RDF)
- Proven ability to lead graph modeling for complex domains, including lineage and permissions at enterprise scale
- Deep knowledge of Gremlin, Cypher/openCypher, and/or SPARQL, including performance tuning and query design best practices
- Experience with data lakes/lakehouses (Delta Lake, Iceberg, Parquet) across major cloud platforms (Azure Data Lake, AWS S3/Glue, BigQuery)
- Experience designing and operating distributed systems using tools like Spark, Flink, or Presto/Trino, with strong judgement on scalability and cost
- Strong backend background in Go and/or Python, with the ability to review designs, guide decisions, and unblock teams
- Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools and the ability to set standards that keep AI-assisted code secure and high quality
Bonus Skills
- Experience operating graph systems at massive scale
- Background in data security, access governance, and policy controls
- Experience with AI/ML governance tools and practices (e.g., MLflow, Databricks Mosaic AI)
- Experience building custom agents, MCP-based workflows, or reusable engineering automation
- Infrastructure-as-Code experience (e.g., Terraform or Pulumi)
- Contributions to graph standards or communities (GQL, openCypher, SPARQL)
What you'll get
- Unlimited paid time off, 12 paid holidays including 4 global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
- Paid parental leave: 8 weeks for all parents, 16 weeks for birthing parents
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting on your first day
- Mental health support, therapy sessions, and digital wellness tools via our Employee Assistance Program
- 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions
- Fertility, adoption, and surrogacy support through Maven, plus paid volunteer time
- AirVet: 24/7 virtual veterinary care at no cost
- Legal services, identity protection, and supplemental health insurance options
- Tax-advantaged spending accounts for healthcare, dependent care, and commuting
- Opportunities to learn and grow through on-demand libraries (LinkedIn Learning, O’Reilly), mentoring, workshops, and learning events like our annual Global Day of Learning
