Job summary

Proofpoint is seeking a Senior DevOps and Data Engineer to join our Data Platform team. This hybrid role focuses on reliability, automation, and the delivery of data pipelines and analytics capabilities using AWS-first infrastructure.

You will build cloud infrastructure (S3, Glue, Athena), manage CI/CD pipelines, and contribute to data workflow orchestration with MWAA and Step Functions. Ideal for those who blend platform and data engineering.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in DevOps or SRE with at least 2 years in data engineering.
• Deep expertise with AWS core services (S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, Lambda, ECS/EKS).
• Hands-on with Terraform and/or AWS CDK for production environments.
• Strong CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
• Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, ECS/EKS, Kubernetes).
• Proven ability to design observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing).

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 Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform and/or AWS CDK).
• Own the observability stack for data pipelines: metrics, logs, and alerts to ensure SLA compliance and fast incident response.
• Develop and maintain the DataOps platform self-service tooling, pipeline templates, and shared libraries.
• Manage container and compute infrastructure (Docker, ECS/EKS, or Lambda) used to support data ingestion microservices and orchestration workers.
• Design and operate workflow orchestration environments (Amazon MWAA / Apache Airflow, AWS Step Functions).
• Build and maintain AWS Glue ETL jobs (PySpark) for large-scale data ingestion and transformation across the data lake on S3.
• 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, automated infrastructure solutions.
• Lead incident response for data platform outages: on-call participation, root-cause analysis, and post-mortem-driven improvements.
• Mentor junior engineers on DevOps and data engineering practices, conduct code and design reviews, and contribute to architecture decision records.
