Job summary

AgileEngine, LLC. is seeking a Cloud Platform Technical Lead in Puebla, Mexico to own the reliability and orchestration of an enterprise data platform in a regulated healthcare environment.

You will lead transition to managed services, define IaC and CI/CD standards, and oversee cross-functional incident response. The role requires deep AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, Argo Workflows, Terraform, Snowflake, S3 data lakes, and data pipeline experience, with strong English communication and LatAm hours

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical direction and end-to-end reliability of the managed Data Platform across AWS, Amazon EKS, Kubernetes, Argo Workflows, Snowflake, S3, Fivetran and custom ingestion pipelines, and Tableau dependencies.
• Lead the technical transition into managed services, including platform discovery, dependency mapping, risk identification, knowledge transfer, shadowing, reverse shadowing, and readiness validation by platform tower.
• Establish and evolve cloud architecture principles, Infrastructure as Code standards, CI/CD and release practices, observability patterns, operational controls, and platform engineering priorities.
• Provide technical leadership for AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes and EKS operations, Argo Workflows, deployment automation, secrets and access management, platform capacity, and production reliability.
• Translate business, service, security, and platform needs into actionable technical requirements, implementation plans, and a prioritized continuous-improvement backlog.
• Guide cross-platform decisions involving Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, custom ingestion, S3 data-lake operations, workflow orchestration, data quality, and downstream analytics dependencies.
• Lead complex cross-platform troubleshooting and L3 escalation, coordinating engineers when incidents span infrastructure, ingestion, orchestration, Snowflake, and Tableau.
• Direct technical response during major incidents, including impact assessment, stakeholder communication, recovery strategy, root-cause analysis, post-incident review, and preventive actions.
• Ensure that changes and releases include appropriate technical review, dependency analysis, validation, rollback planning, traceability, and coordination across affected platform components.
• Define and monitor reliability indicators such as availability, ingestion success, data freshness, workflow reliability, deployment outcomes, alert quality, mean time to restore service, and recurring incident patterns.
• Lead improvements in automation, observability, auto-remediation, platform resilience, deployment safety, performance, security, capacity management, and cloud cost efficiency.
• Partner with Security, Governance, Analytics, IT, and platform stakeholders to ensure least-privilege access, secrets management, auditability, controlled changes, and appropriate handling of regulated data.
• Review technical designs and high-impact changes, challenge assumptions, document tradeoffs, and ensure solutions remain secure, scalable, and supportable within the managed-service operating model.
• Mentor Senior and Middle-level engineers, delegate ownership effectively, improve team practices, and build consistent technical capability across the distributed team.
• Maintain alignment between the LatAm and India coverage windows through clear ownership, escalation paths, operating procedures, and structured handoffs.
• Participate in the senior escalation and on-call model for critical incidents outside staffed service hours.
