You focus on platform engineering, automation, and reliability, ensuring that data platforms are production-grade, governed, and optimized for performance and cost.
What will your typical day look like?
- Design and deploy modern data platforms across cloud and hybrid environments, including Snowflake, Databricks, and SAS Viya.
- Engineer platform infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, enabling repeatable and scalable deployments.
- Build and manage CI/CD pipelines to automate platform provisioning, testing, releases, and upgrades using tools like Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.
- Deploy, manage, and scale Kubernetes-based environments to support distributed data and AI workloads.
- Define and implement Policy as Code frameworks to enforce governance, compliance, and security standards across environments.
- Design and implement secure cloud architectures, including IAM, networking, encryption, secrets management, and data access controls.
- Develop high availability and disaster recovery strategies, including multi-region deployments, failover mechanisms, and backup strategies.
- Optimize platform performance, scalability, and cost efficiency through monitoring, tuning, and right-sizing strategies.
- Implement observability frameworks (logging, monitoring, alerting) using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, or Datadog.
- Operate and maintain production platforms, including upgrades, patching, incident response, and root cause analysis.
- Apply Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles, including SLO/SLI definition, error budgets, automation, and reliability improvements.
- Collaborate with data engineers, AI engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to ensure platforms meet enterprise needs.
- Support agentic AI and advanced analytics workloads by enabling scalable, secure, and performant infrastructure foundations.
