Description
You will join BlackRock's Private Markets Data Engineering organisation and lead the development of the Hyperion platform, working closely with engineering and business leaders across Aladdin and other areas of BlackRock.
The Hyperion platform enables internal customers, and ultimately external customers, to build scalable data-processing workflows across documents, news articles, websites, and other unstructured sources.
As a Senior Technical Lead, you will provide senior technical and people leadership for Hyperion, shaping a scalable, production-grade platform capable of processing millions of documents, news articles, and websites.
Your responsibilities:
- Own the technical leadership and architectural direction for Hyperion, making strategic trade-offs, solving complex engineering challenges, and evaluating innovative technologies in partnership with engineering and business leaders.
- Lead the end-to-end delivery and sustained production operation of this business-critical platform, with accountability for scalability, reliability, performance, operational resilience, and stakeholder trust.
- Collaborate with Aladdin leaders to define Hyperion's strategic direction and priorities, translating them into a clear and actionable engineering roadmap.
- Lead, coach, and develop engineers while remaining close to the technology, fostering an inclusive culture of ownership, collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Build strong partnerships with internal platform teams to co-design architecture, align technical approaches, and deliver shared platform capabilities.
- Design Hyperion to support early adopters while evolving the platform towards intuitive, self-service capabilities for both developers and non-technical users.
- Establish and maintain high standards of engineering excellence across security, software quality, documentation, testing, governance, operational resilience, and sustainable platform development.
