- 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 organizational 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.

- 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.
