Data Product Operations Lead

About the role

As a Data Product Operations Lead, you’ll help drive David AI’s Data Factory — designing and scaling the pipelines that turn raw audio into high-quality datasets for frontier AI labs. You’ll take ownership of data products from 0→1 prototypes through 1→N scale, working hands-on to build workflows, validate them with researchers, and run them reliably at production scale.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end success of a data pipeline, from early experiments to scaling up production systems that generate high-quality audio data at high volumes.
• Design and run pipelines that process a high volume of audio data with reliability, quality, and efficiency.
• Work with researchers at leading AI labs to identify new model capabilities and turn them into concrete data workflows and project plans.
• Lead cross-functional workstreams across Ops, Product, and Engineering to build scalable “data factory” systems.
• Maintain pipeline health, spotting and fixing issues in sourcing, quality, or process.
• Drive impact with metrics, using throughput, quality, and cost to prioritize and improve.
• Take full-stack accountability across operations, product, engineering, and customers, solving bottlenecks and ensuring delivery.

Requirements

• 2–6 years of experience in high-intensity environments (e.g., founder, strategy consulting, or venture-backed ops).
• Technical foundation in CS, Industrial Engineering, or similar; SQL required.
• Systems thinker who can spot leverage points and design for scale and durability.
• Strong product intuition, able to work with engineers and researchers to get to the right answer fast.
• A high-execution operator: fast, detail-oriented, and uncompromising on quality.
• Collaborative and low-ego, willing to roll up your sleeves.
