Dominion Energy • Richmond, VA

9d • $90,900 - $118,100 • Hybrid

About The Position

Dominion Energy is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to serve as Platform Owner for its Informatica Data Catalog and Denodo Virtualization platforms. The role is accountable for platform strategy, lifecycle, health, governance, adoption, and outcomes, delivering reliable, secure, scalable, governed, and cost-effective capabilities aligned with enterprise data strategy. The Platform Owner collaborates with architecture, platform owners, engineering, operations, cybersecurity, governance, business teams, vendors, and implementation partners to integrate both platforms into the enterprise data ecosystem. Architecture sets direction and patterns, while solution delivery implements and operates solutions; the Platform Owner remains accountable for priorities, lifecycle, health, adoption, and value.

The position defines platform vision and multi-year roadmaps; manages investments, modernization, technical debt, risks, and dependencies; and owns reliability, availability, scalability, performance, security, resilience, supportability, and cost. It establishes governance, standards, guardrails, operational practices, observability, documentation, support, and escalation models. The role also manages vendor relationships and coordinates platform interoperability, integration expectations, and roadmaps across the enterprise data ecosystem.

For Informatica, the role defines data integration and ingestion capabilities, reusable patterns, and connectivity across cloud, on-premises, databases, APIs, data platforms, and enterprise systems. For Denodo, it supports virtualization strategy, defines logical and semantic models and reusable views, governs source connectivity, optimizes queries and caching, and enables governed logical data products through APIs and reusable data services.

The position offers a hybrid schedule of one week in the office followed by one week teleworking. The working conditions list an office work environment of 76–100% and travel up to 25%.
