What’s the opportunity?
As a Senior DataOps Engineer, you'll be a strategic professional shaping the foundation of our data platform. You’ll design and evolve scalable infrastructure on Kubernetes, operate Databricks as our primary data platform, enable data governance and reliability at scale, and ensure our data assets are clean, observable, and accessible.
What will I be doing?
- Architect and evolve scalable infrastructure to ingest, process, and serve large volumes of data efficiently, using Kubernetes and Databricks as core building blocks.
- Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes-based infrastructure, owning deployment, scaling, and reliability of data workloads running on our clusters.
- Operate Databricks as our primary data platform, including workspace and cluster configuration, job orchestration, and integration with the broader data ecosystem.
- Work in improvements to existing frameworks and pipelines to ensure performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency across batch and streaming workloads.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for data applications (DAGs, jobs, libraries, containers), automating testing, deployment, and rollback.
- Implement release strategies (e.g., blue/green, canary, feature flags) where relevant for data services and platform changes.
- Establish and maintain robust data governance practices (e.g., contracts, catalogs, access controls, quality checks) that empower cross-functional teams to access and trust data.
- Build a framework to move raw datasets into clean, reliable, and well-modeled assets for analytics, modeling, and reporting, in partnership with Data Engineering and BI.
- Define and track SLIs/SLOs for critical data services (freshness, latency, availability, data quality signals).
- Implement and own monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting for data workloads and platform components, improving observability over time.
- Lead and participate in on-call rotation for data platforms, manage incidents, and run structured postmortems to drive continuous improvement.
- Investigate and resolve complex data and platform issues, ensuring data accuracy, system resilience, and clear root-cause analysis.
- Maintain high standards for code quality, testing, and documentation, with a strong focus on reproducibility and observability.
- Work closely with the Data Enablement team, BI, and ML stakeholders to continuously evolve the data platform based on their needs and feedback.
- Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies in DataOps, DevOps, and data platforms to continuously raise the bar on our engineering practices.
What skills do I need?
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Data Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
- Proven experience in data engineering, platform engineering, or backend software development, ideally in cloud-native environments.
- Deep expertise in Python or/and SQL, with strong skills building data or platform tooling.
