Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior/Lead Platform Engineer who will take ownership of the design, implementation and operation of our core data, analytics and ML infrastructure. This role spans across platform architecture, DevSecOps, DataOps, and ML infrastructure, and requires a combination of strategic thought leadership and hands-on execution. You will build, integrate and operate platforms on AWS and Databricks, enabling scalable, secure, production-grade ML/AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement end-to-end data and ML platforms: data lakes, warehouses, streaming and batch pipelines, model training/deployment infrastructure, on AWS + Databricks.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in data platform architecture, cloud/ML infrastructure engineering or related roles.

• Deep technical expertise in Databricks and AWS: demonstrated ability to design, integrate and operate solutions spanning both platforms.

• Strong hands-on implementation skills: you will not just design but build, deploy and operate the platform.

• Proven track record of building and operating scalable ML/AI platforms in production (model training & deployment).

• Expertise in Apache Spark, Delta Lake, modern data pipeline frameworks (batch + streaming).

• Strong background in infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD for data/ML, and DevSecOps practices.

• Proficiency in Python and SQL; familiarity with Scala or equivalent is a plus.

• Experience with data governance, data lineage, observability and MLOps frameworks (e.g., MLflow, Airflow, dbt).
