  Architect a self-serve Data "Platform-as-a-Product" powering InMobi's global-scale data ecosystem. Integrate OSS tools, proprietary services, and  Cloud/SaaS into unified infrastructure. Requires deep data engineering      

  expertise (batch/streaming pipelines, data modeling, query optimization, governance) combined with platform engineering to build production-grade  solutions for data engineers and analysts.                                                                                                 

  Core Responsibilities                                                                                                        

  Design & Development - Bridge OSS tools (Spark, Flink, Airflow, Iceberg), internal services, and cloud offerings into cohesive data platform infrastructure. Build intuitive platform integrations enabling push-button  data workflows.                                                             

  Scale Engineering - Operate distributed systems processing petabytes of data daily. Own multi-region Kubernetes infrastructure with elastic scalability  and fault tolerance.                                                        

  Performance Optimization - Optimize compute utilization (Spark/Flink clusters, Velox/Gluten acceleration) for large-scale batch and real-time  streaming with sub-second latency.                                          

  Observability & Data Quality - Build comprehensive telemetry (metrics, logs,traces) and data quality frameworks for 24/7 uptime. Enforce SLAs/SLOs with automated incident response and data validation.
