This is where your biggest challenge awaits you:
Within the CRM & Customers Tribe , you will join the Marketing Data Hub Feature Team. Our mission is to act as the backend «Hub» that extracts and exposes data from the RCU (Référentiel Client Unique) and the ODP (One Data Platform) to feed our marketing tools, partner CRMs, and compliance solutions.
As a Tech Lead Data , you will take technical responsibility for a team of Data Engineers. In the context of an upcoming transformation of our product portfolio and organization, you will ensure the stability of our application «Run» (partner flows, adtech, data quality) while steering the co-construction of our future architectural patterns.
Reporting to the Data Engineering Director , your main missions will be:
- Architecture & Technical Co-construction:
- Define and co-build new, modern architectural patterns at the intersection of business requirements and our Data Platform.
- Guarantee robust and secure technical choices, particularly for real-time flows (tokenization protocols, data security).
- Design and optimize robust business data models (data modeling applied to marketing and personalization).
- Ensure the implementation of high-performance data APIs and data exposure pipelines to enable real-time marketing activation.
- Technical Leadership & Animation:
- Guide and support a team of senior profiles. Your technical legitimacy will foster smooth collaboration.
- Work in a close partnership with the Product Owner to scope and prioritize technical projects.
- Promote DataOps best practices (unit testing, CI/CD, code quality, and observability).
- Delivery & Operational Excellence:
- Drive the ingestion, transformation, and exposure of data (backend/Hub approach).
- Ensure the quality, integrity, and reconciliation of customer data throughout the entire data lifecycle and data flow processes.

- Enable new customer data exposure mechanisms from Snowflake (via APIs, MCP, etc.) to further support hyper-personalization initiatives.
- Audit existing data products, assess the current technology landscape, and define an action plan covering technical debt reduction, efficiency improvements, FinOps optimization, and the exploration of new technologies.
- Foster a strong team dynamic through collaboration, engagement, knowledge sharing, and active participation.
- Longer term – MLOps: Contribute to improving data science model deployment processes and implement real-time inference capabilities (as opposed to the current batch-based approach).
