About the Role
The Data Platform powers all of the Qualtrics Experience Management products with services to ingest, store, process, and analyze experience and operational data. This role will focus on our analytics platform capabilities. You will develop and execute a strategy for providing all of our product teams with data access, aggregation, and analysis capabilities at scale. You will power real-time, batch, and streaming data workflows—managing for high availability, high throughput, data consistency, and security.
At Qualtrics, our goal is to continue leading the Experience Management category, so we rely on leaders that envision the future and anticipate customer needs that don’t yet exist. In this role you will need to balance important long term investments with short term product needs, and partner with PM and company leadership to ensure alignment with both strategic and tactical goals.
As the leader of this team you will hire, develop, mentor, and coach other engineering managers and senior individual contributors to build platform services and features for the Analytics Platform. You will partner with company leadership and your team to build an efficient global organization strategy designed to execute against our multi-year product and company vision.
