About the Role
As a Data Platform Engineer, you will be responsible for the reliability, stability, and operational health of our data platform, including its deployment, monitoring, maintenance, and promotion across environments.

Responsibilities
- Own the reliability and availability of our data platform infrastructure across all environments
- Enforce and improve environment promotion discipline
- Define and uphold SOPs around deployments, maintenance windows, and change management
- Instrument and monitor platform health using observability tooling; build alerting that means something
- Participate in architecture and deployment discussions; push back when something isn't ready
- Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and product managers on infrastructure needs
- Identify and remediate reliability risks before they become incidents
- Support customer-facing and internal systems with a bias toward stability over velocity
Requirements
- Operational instinct and respect for production environments
- 3+ years in cloud infrastructure, SRE, or platform engineering (AWS preferred; GCP/Azure experience translates)

- Experience with workflow orchestration (Airflow or similar DAG-based schedulers, or general job scheduling/cron systems at scale)
- Strong Linux fundamentals and scripting (Bash, Python, or similar)
- Experience with Distributed data processing (Spark, PySpark, or similar big data frameworks, or experience managing clusters that run them)
- Experience with Containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker, or similar)
- Experience with Data ingestion, ETL, or streaming systems (Kafka, Flink, or similar, or experience operating message queues and pipelines)
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-code and provisioning (Terraform, Helm, or similar)
- Experience with OLAP and OLTP databases (Clickhouse, Postgres, Redshift, or similar)
- Experience with Monitoring, logging, and observability (Datadog, Prometheus, Kibana, or similar)
- Experience with Managed data platforms (Databricks or similar)
- Experience with Network infrastructure fundamentals (load balancers, DNS, auto-scaling, multi-region topologies, proxies)
- Experience with Security and access management (least-privilege, secrets management, controls for data systems)
- MLOps concepts or tooling is a plus
- Humility
- Methodical execution
- Strong communication skills
- Ownership mentality
