• Help move the data-platform infrastructure and workloads to AWS, including required connectivity, deployment, and operational prerequisites;
• Enable secure, governed accessibility of data to data-platform consumers and downstream systems;
• Modernize the data-platform architecture, tooling, orchestration, storage, and operational practices to align with standards;
• Support Snowflake, Confluent/Kafka, AWS, and data-platform infrastructure migration and operations across stage and production;
• Participate in production troubleshooting, incident response, documentation, runbook creation, and cross-team migration coordination;
• Use Terraform/IaC, GitLab, monitoring and documented processes to deliver repeatable and auditable changes;

Must haves

• 3+ years of experience in production data-platform engineering, with a platform/DevOps-leaning background and strong data experience;
• Strong Python, Bash, and SQL skills;

Deep experience in one and working knowledge of the other is fine: Deep Snowflake and AWS, with working Kafka knowledge (topics, connectors, schemas), OR Deep Kafka/Confluent and AWS, with working Snowflake knowledge;
• Experience operating or migrating production systems across development, stage, and production environments;
• Strong troubleshooting, incident-response, testing, documentation, and cross-team communication skills;
• Experience with least-privilege access, change control, secrets handling, and secure operational practices;
• Strong cross-functional communication skills;
• Upper-intermediate English level;

Nice to haves

• Apache Spark and Hadoop/Hive/HQL, including modernizing or migrating legacy workloads;
• Snowpark, dbt alternatives, AWS Glue, Monte Carlo, or other data-quality and catalog tools;
• Migrating legacy Airflow, Hadoop or Hive workloads to cloud-native or managed platforms;
• Experience working across a company migration or acquisition and aligning systems to a new organization's standards;
• Familiarity with Snowflake-to-Iceberg or Snowflake-to-data-lake migration patterns;
