• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to work effectively across teams.

Responsibilities

• Operate and improve Databricks and Snowflake platforms lifecycle.
• Design for reliability: architect resilient, scalable, and secure infrastructure across cloud environments.
• Advance observability: build platform‑wide monitoring, alerting, and logging infrastructure; define SLOs/SLAs.
• Drive CI/CD for data pipelines, ML workflows, and infra components using GitHub Actions, Terraform, and related IaC tooling.
• Enable data flow across platforms: inter‑ and intra‑cloud data movement across Snowflake, S3, Delta Lake, and Kafka.
• Champion event‑driven architectures: use EventBridge, SNS/SQS, and Lambda for scalable data systems.
• Collaborate across teams: be the SRE and platform partner for analytics, data science, and product teams.
• Contribute to strategy: influence engineering decisions on data platform architecture and ML enablement.
