These multi-tenant platforms will be managed through automation using Ansible and Terraform, requiring a strong architectural approach to effectively handle scale, modifications, and significant impact.

What You'll Do

Platform Ownership & Technical Leadership

• Oversee the reliability, scalability, and operability of shared data platforms.
• Define platform standards, architectural direction, and operational guidelines.
• Influence cross-team technical decisions and the long-term platform strategy.
• Advance platform evolution and drive reliability strategies across the data ecosystem.

Architecture & Design

• Articulate system behavior, dependencies, and potential failure modes.
• Balance reliability, performance, cost, and complexity in design decisions.
• Provide guidance that enables effective and safe use of platforms by downstream teams.

Operations Engineering

Automation

• Develop and enhance an automation framework using Ansible and Terraform.
• Treat automation processes like production software—ensure they are versioned and rigorously tested.
• Reduce operational workload by embedding reliability measures into the platform.

Incident Leadership & Prevention

• Act as the principal point of contact for complex or ambiguous incidents.
