Data Platform Architect

Experience: Senior Level

Salary: $160,000 - $200,000 per year

Job Details

You’ll be part of a customer-facing managed services team supporting cloud-native data platforms at scale. This role is heavily focused on platform operations, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, DBA-style optimization, and incident-to-improvement cycles, rather than pure software engineering.

What You’ll Do

Platform Operations & Optimization

• Maintain, monitor, and enhance customer data platforms across cloud environments.
• Improve cost efficiency, performance, scalability, and reliability across Snowflake, AWS, Azure, and related ecosystems.
• Apply strong FinOps, data ops, and IT operations skills to keep platforms stable, predictable, and efficient.
• Build, improve, and support CI/CD pipelines for data and platform deployments.
• Leverage IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation) to automate provisioning and environment consistency.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and incident management best practices.
• Lead or support migrations, integrations, and modernization efforts across cloud data warehouses, data lakes, and distributed systems.

Customer Partnership

• Act as a trusted advisor to customers, guiding best practices, identifying risks, and driving ongoing platform evolution.
• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring transparency and predictable outcomes.

Technical Competencies needed

• Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Azure Analytics, etc.), including performance tuning and troubleshooting.
• Expertise in AWS and/or Azure services related to data, compute, storage, networking, and integration.
• Deep understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Git-based pipelines).
• Strong SQL experience, including debugging and optimizing queries.
• Background in monitoring, incident management, capacity planning, and environment stability.
