About the role

  • This is a hands-on IC role reporting to the Senior Director of Platform Engineering.
  • You'll be accountable for data being correct, governed, discoverable, and ready for consumption from source through curated marts.
  • We're on Azure and expanding across cloud providers.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement end-to-end data architecture including application CDC, streaming, schema design, transformation, warehouse/mart modeling, and consumption-readiness with IaC and automation-first delivery.
  • Build resilient multi-region database and replication topologies with automated failover and DR.
  • Model, document, and catalog marts for downstream self-service analytics and customer-facing consumption.
  • Build monitoring, alerting, and data-quality observability across data platform services.
  • Own PII classification, lineage, access controls, and encryption in partnership with Security.
  • Treat compute and storage spend as a design input.
  • Proven experience building large-scale distributed data systems in production.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in data engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or DevOps, with a track record at Staff or Principal IC level.
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, or similar for automation and tooling.
  • Track record of owning ambiguous, cross-team problems end to end from approach through delivery.

Nice to have

  • Kubernetes for data workloads or equivalent container orchestration.
  • Table/lakehouse formats (Iceberg, Delta, Hudi) and judgment on where they fit against a warehouse.
  • Data-quality frameworks (Great Expectations, Soda) and production observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
  • Schema registries and event contracts (Avro, Protobuf, JSON Schema).
  • Catalog and discovery tooling (Microsoft Purview, DataHub, Collibra, or similar).
  • GitOps tooling (Flux, ArgoCD) and FinOps practices.
  • Practical data governance: PII identification, lineage, encryption, and a sane access model for regulated data.
  • Familiarity with MCPs (Model Context Protocol) and exposing data to AI systems safely.

Skills

  • Cloud & Infrastructure
  • Cloud IaaS: Azure (primary), AWS or GCP transferable
  • IaC: Terraform or comparable
  • git-backed, automated delivery
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, or similar
  • Data Platform & Streaming
  • Orchestration: Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, or similar
  • Streaming & ingestion: Kafka, Flink, Airbyte, or similar
  • CDC, event streaming, batch ingestion, schema registries, and event contracts
  • Warehouse: Snowflake or comparable
  • transformation/semantic layer (dbt or comparable)
  • mart modeling

Compensation

  • Python, Go, or similar; SQL; YAML/JSON/HCL for IaC and pipelines
  • Metrics, logging, tracing, alerting, and data-quality monitoring for pipelines and platform services
  • Written-first communication - designs, ADRs, and runbooks live in the repo.
  • Ownership and bias to action - you drive ambiguous problems to working systems without waiting for the next step.
  • Influence without authority - you build consensus and can hold the line on governance when it matters.
  • Principled prioritization - you protect the critical path and can explain why you said no.

Benefits

  • We encourage taking Paid Time Off (PTO)!
  • 12 Weeks of Paid Family Bonding Leave (Maternity and Paternity)
  • Incredible medical, dental, and vision benefits options to allow you to customize to you and your family's needs that all start in the following month following your first day of employment
  • Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Short-Term & Long-Term Disability
  • We offer a comprehensive package of benefits to eligible employees (FTE, non-contract): medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k), generous vacation time, and paid bonding leave.
