YOUR ROLE

In close collaboration with asset teams, integration engineers, SRE, and product squads, the Data & AI Platform Engineering Lead acts as the technical owner of Edenred’s Data & AI platform foundations.

As a player-coach, the role both designs and builds core platform capabilities (Databricks, Unity Catalog, infrastructure, CI/CD, agent runtime primitives) and coaches teams to use the platform correctly. The role ensures the platform is secure, scalable, observable, interoperable, and AI-ready, while enabling autonomy and reuse across geographies and business lines.

Responsibilities

• Own the Data & AI platform roadmap as a product (Databricks, Unity Catalog, infrastructure, shared services)
• Design and implement core platform building blocks (workspaces, catalogs, compute policies, environments)
• Enforce security, access control, and isolation by design
• Ensure the platform supports data, AI, and agentic workloads consistently
• Contribute hands-on to critical platform components and upgrades
• Define and operate the platform-level agent interoperability layer
• Ensure agents can interoperate across runtimes (Databricks agents, Salesforce Agentforce, internal services)
• Treat agent interfaces as first-class platform APIs, versioned and governed
• Partner with SRE to embed observability, reliability, FinOps into platform primitives
• Co-own CI/CD frameworks and guardrails (policy-as-code, quality gates)
• Participate as a standing member of the Design Authority
• Enable discovery, sandboxing, and fast-track experimentation safely
• Prevent platform fragmentation and shadow architectures

YOUR PROFILE

Technical & Engineering

• Strong background in platform and software engineering
• Deep expertise with Databricks & Lakehouse architectures (Unity Catalog, security, serverless)
• Solid understanding of data engineering and AI enablement needs
• Working knowledge of agent runtimes, tool/function protocols, and A2A interaction patterns
• Comfortable with cloud infrastructure, IAM, networking, and infrastructure-as-code

Player-Coach Mindset

• Hands-on engineer able to design, build, and debug core systems
• Coaches teams through patterns, reviews, and enablement rather than control
• Raises engineering standards through example

Collaboration & Influence

• Able to influence architecture and usage without hierarchical authority
• Clear communicator with engineers, architects, and leaders
• Pragmatic, anti-dogmatic; standards exist to enable teams
• Comfortable arbitrating trade-offs between simplicity, flexibility, and scale
