About the Role:

We are seeking a Senior/Lead Data Platform Engineer to join our Data Platform team, who will play a key role in enabling and empowering data practitioners such as data engineers, analytics engineers, and analysts by providing robust, scalable, and self-service platform capabilities.

You will focus on building and maintaining the foundational infrastructure, tools, and frameworks that support data ingestion, transformation, and analytics. Your work will abstract away complexity, enforce standards, and reduce friction for teams consuming or producing data.

What you’ll do:

• Design, develop, and maintain a scalable and secure data platform that supports ingestion, transformation, orchestration, cataloging, and governance.

• Build tools, libraries, and services that allow other teams to own and manage their own pipelines and workflows independently.

• Provide self-service infrastructure (e.g., templates, SDKs, CI/CD patterns) to support repeatable and consistent data engineering practices.

• Implement and manage data platform components: orchestration frameworks, data catalog, access control layers, and metadata systems.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to define SLAs, monitoring, and observability across the data stack.

• Champion infrastructure as code, automation, and standardization across the platform.

• Ensure data security, compliance, and cost efficiency across environments.

What you’ll need:

• 4 to 6 years of hand-on experience working in data infrastructure, data platform engineering, or related roles with a bachelor’s degree

• Proficiency in Python and experience building backend services or CLI tools.

• Proficiency in cloud data platforms like Snowflake or Databricks etc.

• Understanding of core cloud services, preferably AWS (S3, EC2, Glue, IAM, etc.).

• Hands-on experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect etc.).

• Hands on with CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform).

• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, and container-based deployment models.
