Senior Platform Engineer (Databricks & AWS) (m/f/d)

In September 2025, AUMOVIO emerged as a spin-off from Continental’s former Automotive group sector and has since established itself as an independent technology company. The company offers a broad portfolio for safe, exciting, connected and autonomous mobility, including sensor solutions, displays, brake and comfort systems as well as extensive expertise in software, architecture platforms and advanced driver assistance systems for software-defined vehicles. In fiscal year 2025, AUMOVIO generated sales of € 18.5 billion. Headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, AUMOVIO has around 82,000 employees at more than 80 locations worldwide.

We're building 1ADP - the One AUMOVIO Data Platform: a self-service, enterprise-grade cloud data platform that transforms raw data from across the organization into trusted, reusable data products. Built with Databricks and AWS, 1ADP serves data engineers, data scientists, analysts, and business users across AUMOVIO's domains - from Production and Supply Chain to Finance and beyond.

As a Senior Platform Engineer (Databricks & AWS), you will be a key technical authority within the A IT DCA DP platform team. You will shape the architecture of 1ADP, drive technical decisions - and ensure the platform scales securely to meet growing enterprise demand. You'll work across cloud infrastructure, data engineering patterns, governance frameworks, and developer-facing self-service tooling.

What You'll Work On:

• Platform Architecture - Design and evolve 1ADP across Databricks workspaces, Unity Catalog, and AWS infrastructure. Define Medallion architecture (Bronze → Silver → Gold) standards and lead design of new capabilities such as the Data Marketplace, Data Product Framework, and AI/ML infrastructure.
• Cloud Infrastructure & GitOps - Own AWS CDK deployment stacks and guide the Terragrunt / Terraform provisioning model.
• Data Governance & Security - Architect federated governance with centralized compliance rules. Design security and access control patterns.
• Data Mesh & Data Products - Translate the Data Mesh vision into platform capabilities. Support domain teams in building and publishing data products.
• Integrations & AI/ML - Design and Shape AI/ML infrastructure including AI Agents (AgentBricks), MLFlow, AI Gateway, and LLM-powered features.

Developer Enablement - Define architectural standards and reusable templates, mentor engineers, and keep platform documentation accurate and accessible

What Makes This Role Unique

• Platform impact at scale - your architectural decisions will affect every data team across AUMOVIO.
• End-to-end ownership - from Terraform module design to Unity Catalog governance to the developer portal, you'll have a hand in all layers.
• Data Mesh at enterprise scale - help AUMOVIO move from centralized IT bottlenecks to a domain-driven, self-service data culture.
• Modern, evolving tech stack - Databricks, Delta Lake, AI/ML on AWS. No legacy constraints.
• Collaborative, documentation-driven culture - we write things down, review in public, and build for the long term.

Cloud & AWS

Hands-on experience with core AWS services (S3, IAM, networking, DNS, certificate management). You understand cloud security basics and have applied IAM best practices in at least one project.

DevOps Mindset

Familiarity with GitOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and version-controlled infrastructure. You automate repetitive tasks and care about developer experience.

Security & Networking

Practical understanding of cloud networking (VPCs, subnets, DNS, TLS/certificate management) and IAM. You've implemented or contributed to security controls in a cloud environment.

Platform Operations

Experience contributing to the operational stability of a live platform - monitoring, incident response, or on-call participation. You take ownership of what you ship.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Comfortable advising business units or development teams on cloud and data architecture topics. You can bridge the gap between technical requirements and stakeholder needs.

Communication
