## About the Role

* 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.

## Description

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.
