- Implement robust engineered controls across our data platform to ensure compliance with data governance policies.
- Develop and support secure external data exchange capabilities utilizing Databricks Clean Rooms, AWS Clean Rooms, Delta Sharing, and Remote File Shares.
- Automate audit evidence collection and reporting to ensure seamless InfoSec, legal, and third-party compliance reviews.
- Identify, design, and implement improvements to how the data platform runs, including automating manual processes, optimizing data delivery, and designing infrastructure for reliability and performance.
- Perform incident resolution, manage workspace health monitoring, optimize cloud costs, and participate in an on-call rotation.
- Use modern AI-assisted development thoughtfully while independently validating code, tests, system behavior, and correctness.

What we are looking for:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on data platform engineering, external data sharing integrations, or backend development.
- Proficiency in Python and SQL, familiarity with distributed data processing patterns, and experience operating governed data environments.

- Experience collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to build and maintain effective partnerships and working relationships. Proven ability to deeply understand other teams' requirements and concerns, translate them into actionable technical requirements, and collaborate with the team on project prioritization.
- Experience provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with Terraform and maintaining reusable deployment modules.
- Hands-on experience with AWS and Databricks; practical experience with Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs) is highly preferred.
- Understanding of tenant isolation, clean rooms, data privacy, and compliance requirements in a cloud context, with a passion for building secure-by-default systems.
