The Brief
We’re building a modern data platform that powers Maersk’s AI and analytics ambitions across a decentralized, domain-driven ecosystem. To make that happen, we're hiring platform engineers with strong data infrastructure expertise - engineers who understand distributed systems, open-source data stacks, and cloud-native architectures.
This role isn’t about building data pipelines for specific business use cases. It’s about building the platform that makes those pipelines easy, reliable, observable, and scalable—for everyone else.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design and build foundational platform components for data ingestion, transformation, metadata, and lineage
- Develop reusable, cloud-native infrastructure and tooling across AWS, Azure, and on-prem environments
- Work across streaming (Kafka, Flink) and batch (Spark, SQLMesh, dbt) systems to support diverse data processing needs
- Enable open table formats (Iceberg, Delta Lake, Hudi) as first-class citizens of the platform
- Contribute to platform observability (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana), lineage (OpenLineage), and data quality tooling (Great Expectations)
- Implement GitOps-driven CI/CD pipelines, Terraform modules, and containerized deployments
- Partner with AI/ML, metadata, and governance teams to drive consistency, automation, and platform-wide operability
What You Bring
- Strong engineering background in data infrastructure, platform engineering, or distributed systems
- Deep hands-on experience with open-source data tooling and frameworks (Kafka, Spark, Flink, Iceberg, dbt, SQLMesh, etc.)
- Proficiency with cloud-native services on AWS, Azure, or GCP—especially around data storage, compute, and orchestration
- Infrastructure-as-code mindset (Terraform, GitHub Actions, GitOps) and familiarity with container ecosystems (Kubernetes preferred)
- Comfort working on modular, multi-tenant systems that enable self-service, observability, and scalability by design
- Clear thinking around data architecture principles like data mesh, decentralized ownership, and federated governance
