About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Data Platform Engineer II to join our team. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise across data platforms, data management, data products, SQL, cloud‑first engineering, and modern DevOps practices as a seasoned data engineer with a track record of owning complex data initiatives end‑to‑end. Experience with Snowflake and AWS is strongly preferred. Must be an advisor and confidante on data governance, best practices, and platform maturity. This is not a junior or entry‑level role — we are looking for someone who brings depth, judgment, and leadership.

In this role, you will lead the design, development, and scaling of our data platform capabilities. You will work across diverse data domains, drive data discovery for new and evolving requirements, and build robust data transfer and migration solutions. You will also play a key role in advancing our data governance and data product maturity, ensuring our platform is reliable, scalable, and aligned with best‑in‑class engineering standards. You should be equally comfortable acting as an independent contributor, a team player, and a advisor.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated engineer who is passionate about building, improving, and maturing data ecosystems. If you thrive in cloud‑native environments, enjoy solving complex data challenges, and want to influence the direction of our data strategy, we encourage you to apply.
