• Experience operating production platforms with SLAs, runbooks, change controls, and on-call responsibilities.
• Strong working knowledge of Snowflake, S3 data lakes, SQL, dbt, and managed ingestion tools like Fivetran or HVR.
• Understanding of data quality, freshness, lineage, schema evolution, pipeline dependencies, backfills, and recovery procedures.
• Proficiency in Python, Shell, Bash, or similar languages for automation.
• Ability to make architecture and operational decisions, communicate tradeoffs, estimate work, and guide teams through change.
• Proven experience mentoring engineers and improving engineering processes across distributed teams.
• Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills, including requirements capture and risk presentation.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Availability to work within LatAm service window (9:00 AM–6:00 PM ET) and participate in escalation/on-call rotation.

Aufgaben

• Own the technical direction and end-to-end reliability of the managed Data Platform across AWS, EKS, Kubernetes, Argo, Snowflake, S3, Fivetran, and Tableau dependencies.
• Lead the transition into managed services with platform discovery, dependency mapping, risk ID, knowledge transfer, and readiness validation.
• Define cloud architecture principles, IaC standards, CI/CD and release practices, observability patterns, and platform priorities.
• Provide technical leadership for AWS infra, Kubernetes/EKS operations, Argo Workflows, deployment automation, secrets/access management, capacity, and reliability.
• Translate business and platform needs into actionable technical requirements and a prioritized backlog.
• Guide cross-platform decisions involving Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, ingestion, S3 data-lake ops, workflows, data quality, and analytics dependencies.
• Lead complex cross-platform troubleshooting and L3 escalation across infra, ingestion, orchestration, Snowflake, and Tableau.
• Direct technical response during major incidents including RC, RCA, and preventive actions.
• Ensure changes/releases include technical review, dependency analysis, validation, rollback planning, and traceability.
• Define and monitor reliability indicators such as availability, ingestion success, data freshness, and MTTR.
• Lead automation, observability, auto-remediation, platform resilience, and cloud cost-efficiency improvements.
• Partner with Security and Governance to ensure least-privilege access and auditable handling of regulated data.
• Review designs and high-impact changes for security, scalability, and supportability in a managed-service model.
• Mentor engineers, delegate ownership, and build technical capability across the team.
• Maintain alignment across LatAm and India coverage windows and ensure smooth handoffs.
• Participate in senior escalation and on-call for incidents outside staffed hours.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Cloud Platform Technical Lead to own the reliability and orchestration of an enterprise data platform in a regulated healthcare environment.

MUST HAVES

• 6+ years of professional experience in Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering, DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering.
• Deep hands‑on expertise with AWS production environments, including cloud architecture, security, networking fundamentals, access management, monitoring, capacity, and operational troubleshooting.
• Advanced experience with Kubernetes and Amazon EKS, including workload deployment, cluster and application troubleshooting, observability, scaling, upgrades, access, and reliability.
• Hands‑on experience operating Argo Workflows or a comparable orchestration platform supporting production data workloads.
• Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform, and with source‑controlled configuration, CI/CD, release automation, and rollback practices.
• Strong experience designing and operating observability, logging, monitoring, alerting, and incident‑routing solutions for distributed production platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to lead major incidents and cross‑functional troubleshooting across infrastructure, applications, data pipelines, and analytics layers.
• Experience operating production platforms with defined service levels, escalation paths, runbooks, change controls, release processes, and on‑call responsibilities.
• Strong working knowledge of modern data platforms, including Snowflake, S3‑based data lakes, SQL, dbt, managed ingestion tools such as Fivetran or HVR, and custom data pipelines.
• Understanding of data quality, freshness, lineage, schema evolution, pipeline dependencies, backfills, and recovery procedures.
• Proficiency in Python, Shell, Bash, or comparable languages for automation and operational tooling.
• Ability to make well‑reasoned architecture and operational decisions, communicate tradeoffs, estimate work, identify risks, and guide teams through change.
• Proven experience mentoring engineers, reviewing technical work, delegating ownership, and improving engineering processes across a distributed team.
• Strong stakeholder‑management and communication skills, including the ability to collect requirements, explain technical risks, and present recommendations to client leaders.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Availability to work within the LatAm service window of approximately 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time and participate in an agreed senior escalation and on‑call rotation.
