We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to design and build the connector- based architecture at the heart of it. You will own the pluggable connector framework that brings relational databases, NoSQL systems, and object storage into one consistent, developer-friendly platform - including the API layer, schema discovery, access control, multi-tenant isolation, and the SDKs other teams build on. This is a deep systems-design role for someone who has built platform infrastructure before, not only application features. What You’ll Do\nDesign and build a pluggable connector framework for multiple data sources.\nBuild unified REST / GraphQL APIs for interacting with different databases and storage systems.\nImplement schema discovery, metadata management, and query-abstraction layers.\nBuild connectors for relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), NoSQL systems (MongoDB, DynamoDB), and object storage (S3, CDN-based storage such as Bunny).\nDesign and implement authentication, authorization, and access control across connectors.\nOptimise the performance, scalability, and reliability of data access.\nImplement logging, monitoring, retries, and failure handling.\nEnsure secure handling of credentials and strong multi-tenant isolation.\nCollaborate with frontend and platform teams to enable low-code and internal-tools use cases.\nBuild reusable SDKs and developer tooling for consuming the platform. What We’re Looking For This is a senior, systems-heavy role. We want someone who has designed and shipped platform or infrastructure software - not only application features on top of a single database.\n7+ years of backend / platform engineering experience, including systems you designed and owned end to end.\nDeep database expertise - PostgreSQL and MySQL, advanced SQL, query optimisation, indexing, and performance tuning.\nHands-on experience with NoSQL systems (MongoDB and DynamoDB).\nStrong backend development in Python, and strong API design (REST and/or GraphQL).\nExperience designing multi-tenant systems and connector / plugin-based architectures.\nData abstraction across heterogeneous systems, plus schema discovery and metadata management.\nExperience with event-driven and async processing.\nAWS (RDS, S3, Lambda, ECS) and Docker, with a track record of building for reliability - logging, monitoring, retries, and failure handling. This Role Is Not a Fit If…\nYou have only built application features on top of one database, with no platform or infrastructure design experience.\nYou rely on ORMs and cannot reason about SQL, query plans, or performance at a low level.\nYou have worked only with relational databases - no NoSQL or object storage.\nYou have never designed for multi-tenancy, or thought hard about credential security and isolation.\nYou have not worked with AWS. Nice to Have\nExperience with platforms like Hasura or Appwrite.\nChange Data Capture (CDC) and real-time data systems.\nObject storage and CDN integrations.\nExposure to internal tools / low-code platforms.\nA history of building SDKs or developer platforms.\n• Kubernetes; monitoring with CloudWatch, Datadog, or similar.
