About DataCamp

There is incredible power in data and AI—but only if you know what to do with it. DataCamp teaches companies and individuals the skills to work with data and AI in the real world. Our mission is to democratize data and AI skills for everyone!

Companies and teams of every size use DataCamp to close their skill gaps and make better data-driven decisions. We work with over:

• 4000+ companies
• 3000+ academic organizations
• 12+ million DataCamp learners

And a global learning community spread across 180+ countries.

At DataCamp, we believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality education and data and AI skill development for a more secure future. From our first-class courses, projects, code-alongs, certification programs, and DataLab—we are an all-in-one platform on a mission to democratize data and AI education for all.

About the role

DataCamp's infrastructure team, which is part of the Platform Engineering department, is a T-shaped cross functional team that looks after CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure (deployed on AWS), logging, monitoring and security. The infrastructure team also looks after the data platform (deployed on GCP) as we have data engineers embedded in our cross functional infrastructure team. The team helps advise our production engineering teams on infrastructure best practices on all DataCamp projects and looks after the whole DataCamp Platform to ensure commercial availability for our customers.

To facilitate this we have a highly automated CI/CD pipeline based on CircleCI and Spotify Backstage (internal engineering portal) which allows developers to ship what they build, increasing deployment speed and ownership and visibility. The infrastructure team aims to enhance developer productivity, scalability, availability and security by providing feedback cycles for teams so they follow a model of continuous improvement. In this role you will be responsible for adding new features to our internal engineering portal that will involve making code changes to Spotify Backstage.

About you

At DataCamp, we seek individuals who embody our core values of data-driven decision-making, action, transparency, ownership, and customer focus. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-performing environment and are driven by a passion for making a meaningful impact. You're adaptable, embracing change and ambiguity with enthusiasm. Your initiative and entrepreneurial spirit push you beyond just meeting targets—you aim to understand the "why" behind our goals and take ownership to drive the business forward. You’re a collaborative team player who values transparency and always seeks to improve and innovate. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply!
