• Create abstractions that simplify access to compute, storage, orchestration, and tenant resources.

• Build automation for provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational recovery.

• Improve platform reliability, observability, security, and cost efficiency.

• Develop self-service workflows and tools for analytics and data teams.

• Contribute to distributed systems supporting batch, streaming, and interactive workloads.

• Partner with product managers, architects, data engineers, and platform users to deliver practical solutions.

• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and on-call support.

• Take ownership of capabilities from design through production operation.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5 or more years of professional software engineering experience.

• Strong programming skills in Go, Java, Python, or a similar language.

• Experience building backend services, APIs, microservices, or distributed systems.

• Experience working with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS.

• Familiarity with automated testing, CI/CD, containers, and production operations.

• Ability to independently deliver and operate moderately complex technical capabilities.

• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building data platforms, infrastructure platforms, or internal developer tools.

• Experience with Kubernetes or infrastructure-as-code technologies.

• Experience with technologies such as Kafka, Flink, Spark, Trino, EMR, Airflow, or Temporal.

• Experience with observability, service-level objectives, or production reliability.

• Experience improving infrastructure automation, security, or cloud cost efficiency.

• Familiarity with building simple user interfaces or developer portals.

Who You Are

• You enjoy building reusable solutions that help other teams move faster.

• You are comfortable working through ambiguity and learning new technologies.

• You care about clean APIs, reliable systems, and thoughtful automation.

• You balance delivering value with building maintainable systems.

• You take responsibility for the systems you build and operate.

• You collaborate well and help raise the engineering quality of the team.

What Success Looks Like

• Teams can complete common infrastructure workflows through clear self-service experiences.

• Platform services become easier to operate, understand, and trust.
