Lead a high-performance data platform engineering team in Pune, starting with hands-on C++ development before transitioning to full leadership.
About the RoleWe are looking for an enthusiastic, hands-on technical leader to lead the DataLayer Platform team in Pune.Given the depth and complexity of the technical domain, this role requires a Team Leader who is highly technical, actively involved in engineering, and experienced in people leadership. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with Product, other DataLayer teams, and other engineering stakeholders to shape and execute the team’s roadmap. At the same time, this is a leadership role with a strong hands-on engineering component, where the Team Leader leads by example, working alongside the team to design and implement robust, high-quality solutions.
To set the successful candidate up for long-term success, the role will begin with a strong individual contributor focus for the first 6 months. During this period, the candidate will work directly on DataLayer projects, build deep familiarity with the technical domain, understand the surrounding Bloomberg runtimes and infrastructure, and establish strong working relationships with the existing DataLayer teams in London and Frankfurt.
After this ramp-up period, the role is expected to transition into a formal Team Leader position, with responsibility for people leadership, technical direction, roadmap execution, and close collaboration with Product and engineering stakeholders.
