• Develop and optimize large-scale data pipelines for batch and streaming use cases.
• Ensure data quality, compliance, and governance.
• Manage and optimize Kubernetes infrastructure, utilizing KEDA to dynamically scale resources for large-scale data processing workloads.
• Own the full lifecycle of our data stack using Terraform and Kubernetes, from provisioning to application-level frameworks.
• Provide technical guidance for the team, drive best practices around infrastructure, CI/CD, testing, and system design.
• Deep-dive into memory management and performance tuning to ensure our large-scale distributed systems are both cost-effective and lightning-fast.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a Data Platform/Infra Engineer
• Proven track record of building and operating scalable data infrastructure specifically within Data Lake architectures.
• Proven experience designing and operating large-scale data processing workloads on Kubernetes, including workload autoscaling with KEDA.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL.
