  • AI & Machine Learning: Exposure to AI tools and frameworks is a plus. 
  • Mentorship & Leadership: Mentor and guide junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of learning and collaboration. Provide technical leadership in the adoption of the tooling, patterns, and automation best practices. 
  • Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams, including product management and security, to align data foundation strategies with business goals and ensure cohesive development and operational workflows.

  • 10+ years in data engineering and data pattern type roles, with significant experience in SaaS and multi-tenant data platforms. Proven track record of mentoring team members in data platform related projects. 
  • Cloud Expertise: Strong understanding of AWS services, including VPC, IAM, EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, EKS, AWS WAF, and AWS CloudTrail. 
  • Data Products: Expert knowledge of S3, RDS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Glue, DataZone, Athena, RedShift Serverless, and AWS EventBridge. 
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Deep proficiency in Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and associated ecosystem tools. 
  • CI/CD Proficiency: Expertise in CI/CD tools such as ArgoCD and GitHub Actions. 
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Advanced experience with AWS CDK (TypeScript preferred) and CloudFormation. 
  • Security: Good knowledge of IAM, AWS KMS, encryption standards, AWS WAF, and security compliance frameworks including NIST. 
  • Monitoring & Alerting: Good experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, AWS CloudWatch, and AWS CloudTrail for monitoring and incident response. 
  • Data & ETL Pipelines: Extensive knowledge with AWS Glue, AWS Kinesis, and Managed Kafka for real-time and batch data processing. 
  • Programming & Automation: Strong scripting and automation skills using TypeScript and Bash. 
  • Multi-Account AWS Management: Experience managing multiple AWS accounts with AWS Control Tower. 
  • Communication & Collaboration: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and AWS CloudWatch. 
  • Exposure to multi-tenant SaaS platforms and best practices. 
  • Experience working with AI tools and frameworks. 

    Personal Attributes 

    • Big Picture: Able to understand the strategic direction and help architect smaller initiatives with the direction in mind. 
    • Mentor & Leader: Enjoys mentoring team members, and fostering a collaborative, innovation-driven team culture. 
    • Organized & Adaptable: Able to manage multiple priorities and thrive in a fast-paced environment. 
    • Innovative: Passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and drive efficiency. 
    • Customer-Focused: Dedicated to building infrastructure that delivers measurable business and customer value.
