- Engineer Robust Data/ML Platforms: Build and optimize infrastructure that supports diverse data workloads from real-time streaming to batch processing, ensuring performance and cost-effectiveness for critical analytics systems
- Drive DevOps Excellence: Collaborate with engineering leaders across backend and ML teams, champion modern infrastructure practices, and mentor team members to elevate how we build, deploy, and operate data systems at scale
- Collaborate on high-level technical designs with ML and Backend engineers to build resilient systems
What we're looking for
- 5+ years of hands-on DevOps experience building, shipping, and operating production systems
- Infrastructure as Code: design and implement infrastructure automation using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation (modular code, reusable patterns, pipeline integration)
- Cloud platforms: deep experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure (core services, networking, IAM)
- Kubernetes: strong end-to-end understanding of Kubernetes as a system (routing/networking, scaling, security, observability, upgrades), with proven experience integrating data-centric components (e.g., Kafka, RDS, BigQuery, Aerospike).
- GitOps & CI/CD: practical experience implementing pipelines and advanced delivery using tools such as Argo CD / Argo Rollouts, GitHub Actions, or similar
- Observability: metrics, logs, and traces; actionable alerting and SLOs using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, OpenTelemetry, or similar
- Scalability & Performance: Proven experience managing production environments characterized by high traffic volumes and large amounts of data, with a focus on maintaining system reliability and cost-efficiency at scale.
You might also have
- Coding proficiency in at least one language (e.g., Python or TypeScript); able to build production-grade automation and tools.
- Data Pipeline Orchestration: Demonstrated success building and optimizing data pipeline deployment using modern tools (Airflow, Temporal, Kubernetes operators) and implementing GitOps practices for data workloads
- Data Engineer Experience Focus: Track record of creating and improving self-service platforms, deployment tools, and monitoring solutions that measurably enhance data engineering team productivity
- Data Infrastructure Deep Knowledge: Extensive experience designing infrastructure for data-intensive workloads including streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis), data processing frameworks (Spark, Flink), storage solutions, and comprehensive observability systems
