Our People and Company datasets, and the enrichment fields that make them useful, power nearly every part of the Apollo platform. We believe we already have one of the best B2B datasets in the world. Your mission is to make it the best. You will own the engineering organization responsible for Apollo's core data platform: how we acquire data, enrich it, understand its quality and freshness, move it across systems, and continuously improve it using the signals generated by millions of Apollo users. This is one of the highest-leverage engineering leadership roles at Apollo. You will own three critical areas: Native Data, Waterfall Enrichment, and Scraping & Extension, and grow the organization as the platform expands. It’s an incredibly complex problem that involves not only identifying the right datasets and leveraging the information we get from indexing people and company data from across the internet, but also applying the logic that makes sure we always have the right information for every company and user. Also, in data, latency matters – the more fresh the data, the more valuable it is in triggering outreach. As a leader on the team, you will have to deal with significant ambiguity (e.g., what sources should we prioritize and why? How should we think about event data versus relational?) and work relentlessly to make sure our data coverage and quality are always best-in-class. Data is the lifeblood that makes the execution and intelligence within Apollo work. What you will do <ul> <li>Own the engineering strategy and execution for Apollo's core data platform (partnering with Ray Li, Apollo’s CTO and co-founder)</li> <li>Lead and grow the teams responsible for Data. Build and develop a world-class engineering team with multiple Principal Engineers across multiple geographies</li> <li>Scale the Native Data team from current headcount to the right size to solve the problems described above</li> <li>Build systems that leverage signals
