  • Proven experience operating data platforms: Databricks, Airflow, S3, Kafka/Kinesis, Airflow.
  • Strong SRE practice knowledge: SLI/SLO design, incident response, runbooks, chaos/failure-mode testing.
  • Hands-on with observability tooling (Prometheus, Datadog, OpenTelemetry) and log/tracing systems.
  • Familiar with IaC (Terraform or CloudFormation), CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/ArgoCD), container orchestration (EKS/Kubernetes), and scripting (Python, Bash).
  • Solid security and compliance experience for federal environments (RBAC, encryption, secrets management).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to produce clear runbooks, RCA reports, and brief leadership.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (desirable).
  • Prior experience with ML lifecycle/MLOps tooling (SageMaker, Databricks) and feature stores.
  • Experience migrating teams from DevOps to SRE and driving organizational change.
  • Experience with cost optimization and governance of large AWS data/ML workloads.
  • Familiarity with federal program processes, change control, and procurement cycles.
