Are you ready to join us?

Your Role

  • Own the platform architecture. Shape and evolve the target architecture across infrastructure utilities, data product experience and federated governance, together with Data Architecture and Product.

  • Build the Platform-as-a-Product. A standard ingestion framework, roles and permissions, cost monitoring per product and team, and agent/AI readiness.

  • Make governance computational. Data contracts, quality gates, lineage and policies as code, enforced in the pipeline instead of by review. Monitoring, alerting, SLAs and incident handling.

  • Deliver data assets to consumers. Standard output ports (API, MCP server, A2A, Kafka events) and a OpenMetaData catalogue for humans and agents.

  • Work with domain teams and stakeholders. Reference products, onboarding playbook and hands-on support for data domain teams. Bring the technical view into stakeholder discussions.

 

Your Skills

  • 5+ years in data or platform engineering

  • Hands-on depth in Snowflake and AWS

  • Built Infrastructure as code and CI/CD for data workloads with Terraform

  • Built self-serve capabilities other teams use without hand-holding: templates, config-driven onboarding, clear docs, policies as code and cost governance

  • Data governance in practice: data contracts, quality checks, lineage, access management, data catalogues

  • Strong communication with non-engineers; comfortable defending architecture decisions in cross-team steering
