  • Assist with data quality validation, testing, code reviews, and documentation.
  • Collaborate with Data Engineering and Data Science teams to support analytics, machine learning, and telemetry initiatives.
  • Contribute to platform tooling and process improvements that increase team productivity and reliability.

Cost & Operational Governance

  • Support cloud cost management through resource tagging, budgeting, usage monitoring, and optimization efforts.
  • Assist with rightsizing compute, storage, and workload configurations.
  • Help identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.

Required Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or related engineering roles.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS services in production environments.
  • Experience working with Databricks.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools and workflows, such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
  • Familiarity with AWS Cost Management tools, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and related operational tooling.
  • Understanding of security fundamentals, including IAM/RBAC, least privilege access, network controls, encryption, and secrets management.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills in a cross-functional environment.
  • Interest in expanding into Data Engineering and supporting data-driven platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proficiency in Python and SQL.
  • Experience with AWS data services such as Glue, Kinesis, or Lambda.
  • Exposure to Spark and distributed data processing.
  • Experience developing or supporting data pipelines and ETL workflows.
