Head of Data - BeReal

The role

You will lead a team of Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers and Data Analysts, reporting to the CEO and partnering closely with Product, Growth, Engineering and leadership.

What you will do

Build and evolve the data platform. Own BeReal's data architecture end to end: ingestion, storage, orchestration, transformation, modeling, observability and access. Build a platform that is simple, scalable, reliable and cost-efficient as both traffic and the number of data consumers grow.
Make data trustworthy. Raise the standard of data quality across the company through clear sources of truth, ownership, testing, monitoring, lineage and consistent metric definitions. Identify inconsistencies proactively and build systems that prevent them from recurring.
Data modeling and foundations. Define how our core entities, events and business concepts are represented across the warehouse. Build models that are reliable, understandable and maintainable as the product evolves.
Decisions, not dashboards. Turn large, complex user-level datasets into clear insights and recommendations that Product, Growth and leadership can act on. Help teams distinguish meaningful signals from noise and focus on the questions that matter.
Product analytics and experimentation. Own the methodology around instrumentation, Amplitude usage, event tracking, metric design and A/B testing. Ensure experiments are designed and interpreted rigorously and that product decisions are grounded in reliable data.
Make data self-service. Give Product, Growth, Engineering and leadership the tools and models they need to answer most questions independently, without creating a dependency on the Data team for every request.
AI-powered data access. Build or integrate practical ways for employees to interact with company data through AI (agents, bots, natural-language analytics and automated workflows) while maintaining strong standards around accuracy, permissions and governance.
Stakeholder management and prioritisation. Serve as the primary data partner to C-level executives and teams across Product, Growth and Engineering. Understand their needs, challenge requests when necessary, arbitrate between competing priorities and translate them into a coherent, high-impact data roadmap.
Technical leadership. Set strong engineering and analytics standards across the function. Review architecture, pipelines, models and queries, challenge technical choices and remain close enough to the work to intervene directly when needed.
Build the team. Lead, mentor and hire across Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering and Data Analytics. Establish clear ownership, develop the people in the team and raise the technical and analytical bar.
