## About the Role

We are looking for a Data Platform Engineer to join our Data Platform Operations team. In this role, you will own the day‑to‑day operation and monitoring of our data platforms and pipelines, and drive continuous improvements from an operational and maintenance perspective. You will work closely with data engineers, analysts, and platform teams to ensure our data platforms are stable, observable, cost‑efficient, and ready to support new use cases.

## Key Responsibilities

- Operate and monitor data platforms (Azure and on‑prem / legacy) to ensure availability, performance, and reliability.
- Run and support data processing workflows, including incident handling, troubleshooting failed jobs, and coordinating fixes with development teams.

- Contribute to operational documentation (runbooks, standards, best practices) and knowledge sharing across the data organization.

## About You

- Hands‑on experience in data platform operations, data engineering, or a related role.
- Strong understanding of data processing concepts (batch, scheduling, dependencies, failures, backfills).
- Practical experience with at least some of the Azure data services and/or traditional ETL tools listed above.
- Comfortable working with SQL and modern version‑control workflows (branches, pull requests, code reviews).
- Problem‑solving mindset with a focus on stability, reliability, and continuous improvement rather than one‑off fixes.
- Good communication skills; able to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- We are looking for someone who either has, or is keen to develop, experience with a modern data stack, ideally including: AWS, Snowflake, dbt / SQLMesh for transformation and data modeling, Git / GitHub and modern CI/CD practices for data and infrastructure, Kubernetes (container‑based workloads and operations), Kafka or similar event streaming platforms , IaaC (infrastructure‑as‑code) and platform automation,
- We are looking for someone who has solid scripting / programming skills for automation and tooling, ideally: SQL / Procedural SQL, Python, Bash
