Data Platform Engineer

We are building a large-scale private cloud data platform to support enterprise analytics across 70+ tenants. As a Data Platform Engineer, you will help design, build, and scale a secure, multi-tenant environment powered by Kubernetes/OpenShift.

This role combines core platform engineering, infrastructure automation, and tenant enablement to ensure the platform is production-ready, observable, and secure as part of a broader data center migration. What You'll Do Platform Engineering & Infrastructure

• Design and build scalable platform infrastructure using Kubernetes (OpenShift preferred)
• Integrate compute, storage, and networking components, including object storage systems
• Configure foundational infrastructure (firewalls, load balancing) in partnership with network teams
• Support migration and buildout activities for enterprise data center initiatives

Multi-Tenant Platform Enablement

• Enable onboarding for 70+ tenant applications
• Define access models, resource allocation, and environment configurations
• Partner with stakeholders to ensure smooth tenant adoption and usage

Observability & Operations

• Implement monitoring, alerting, and dashboards across the platform
• Build observability frameworks using tools such as:

• Grafana, Prometheus
• BigPanda, PagerDuty, ThousandEyes

Automation & DevOps

• Develop infrastructure automation and deployment workflows using:

• Terraform, Helm
• GitOps practices (Argo CD preferred)

• Support continuous delivery and operational efficiency

Security & Compliance

• Implement and enforce platform-level security controls aligned with enterprise policies
• Support compliance requirements and secure multi-tenant operations

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with networking, security, and infrastructure teams
• Contribute to solution design, requirements, and delivery execution

• 5+ years of experience in Software Engineering or Platform Engineering
• Strong expertise in:

• Kubernetes (OpenShift preferred)
• Linux systems

• Experience building enterprise platforms from the ground up
• Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring tools
• Experience with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Helm)
• Familiarity with GitOps practices (Argo CD preferred)
• Experience using ServiceNow or similar tools, * Experience with:

• Execution engines such as Spark or Trino
• Data table formats (Iceberg, Hive)
• Metadata and lineage tools (DataHub)

• Strong observability expertise (monitoring, alerting design, dashboards)
• Experience building large-scale, multi-tenant platforms

Nice to Have

• OpenShift networking:

• Ingress/egress control (secure north-south traffic)

• Load balancing and high-availability service exposure
• Network segmentation & isolation across tenants/namespaces
• Kubernetes/OpenShift Network Policies:

• Default deny models
• Least privilege communication patterns

Additional Information

• NexusOne experience is a plus but not required
• Strong Kubernetes/OpenShift/Linux experience is essential if NexusOne is absent
• Role focus will shift between platform buildout and tenant enablement based on priorities
