Job summary

Proofpoint seeks a Senior DevOps and Data Engineer to join the Data Platform team. This hybrid role balances platform engineering with data infrastructure, owning reliability, automation, and delivery of data pipelines.

You will build and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps tooling to enable data teams to ship high-quality data products safely and quickly.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability engineering, with at least 2 years of hands-on data engineering work.
• Deep expertise with AWS core services: S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, Lambda, ECS/EKS, Secrets Manager, and CloudFormation/CDK.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools-Terraform and/or AWS CDK.
• Strong CI/CD experience: designing and maintaining pipelines in GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent.
• Experience with container technologies (Docker) and container orchestration (ECS, EKS, Kubernetes).
• Proven ability to design and operate observability systems (metrics, logging, distributed tracing, alerting) for data and platform services.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, deployment, and promotion of AWS Glue ETL jobs, Athena views, and related data infrastructure.
• Build and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS using IaC (Terraform and/or CDK) covering S3, IAM, Glue, Athena, VPCs, and related services.
• Own the observability stack for data pipelines with metrics, logs, and alerts to ensure SLA compliance and fast incident response.
• Develop and maintain the DataOps platform, self-service tooling, and shared libraries for production-grade pipelines.
• Manage container and compute infrastructure (Docker, ECS/EKS, or Lambda) to support data ingestion microservices and orchestration workers.
• Design and operate workflow orchestration environments (MWAA / Airflow, Step Functions) including upgrades and reliability hardening.
• Build and maintain AWS Glue ETL jobs (PySpark) for large-scale data ingestion and transformation.
• Drive security best practices across the data platform: secrets management, least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and compliance controls.
• Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, and security teams to translate requirements into scalable infrastructure solutions.
• Lead incident response for data platform outages: on-call participation, root-cause analysis, and post-mortem improvements.
• Mentor junior engineers on DevOps and data engineering practices, conduct code and design reviews, contribute to architecture records.
