Staff Software Engineer - Data Platform

• Design and build scalable data platform components (ingestion frameworks, data quality systems, orchestration tooling, internal APIs)
• Define architecture and set technical standards for the data engineering org
• Partner with data engineering teams to understand pain points and translate them into reusable platform solutions
• Own the end-to-end delivery of platform features, from design to production, provide comprehensive IT services to help clients with IT Strategic Planning, Implementation, Deployment, IT Support on Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Mobile Application Development, Data Mining and Business Intelligence, Enterprise Data Warehouse, and more

• Title background: Staff / Senior / Principal Software Engineer (SWE track, not DE track)
• Experience: 10-15 years
• Technical must-haves: Spark, Kafka, or Databricks + Java or Python
• Keywords that fit: platform engineering, distributed systems, internal tooling, data quality frameworks, event-driven architecture, microservices, CI/CD
• Work authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S. - no visa sponsorship

This is NOT the right fit if you:

• Come primarily from a DE / DBA / ETL tools background (Informatica, Talend, stored procedures)
• Are SQL-only with no software engineering foundation
• Are currently in a pure management role without hands-on technical work

You will be building the internal data platform that other data engineers rely on-think internal Databricks, data quality frameworks, metadata services, or pipeline orchestration tooling. Your end users are other engineers.
