Position Summary

We are looking for an experienced Sr. Engineer to help design & develop our next generation data platform while improving our current analytics platform. We run on hybrid cloud, leveraging modern BI tooling, and building cutting-edge infrastructure as we expand our platform service offerings and skillsets. This is a hands-on role, not a whiteboard-only position—you'll be writing code, reviewing implementations, and actively contributing to architectural solutions. You will be reporting to the Manager, Software Engineering.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and evolve solutions for the existing data platform to support consistent and scalable system architectures

• Collaborate with product management to identify high-value AI solutions and provide reference architectures and best practices around the implementation of these solutions
• Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to define multi-quarter technical roadmaps aligned with organizational strategy
• Lead technical design reviews and provide guidance on system architecture and interface design across services within the domain, while contributing directly to key implementations
• Partner early in project planning with PMs and EMs to anticipate complexity and define technically sound solutions
• Establish clear domain boundaries and service contracts to evolve out of a monolithic legacy architecture
• Ensure all designs and implementations meet enterprise security, performance, and compliance standards
• Prototype new tooling or approaches to de-risk architectural changes and validate proposed frameworks, often taking first-pass ownership of early iterations
• Actively align with other architects across application, platform, operations, and quality teams to ensure cohesive system architecture
• Participate in cross-domain initiatives to identify and address technical debt and architecture misalignments at scale, including direct contributions to shared tooling and platform components

• Experience with full technology stack, from UI to DB

• Experience with the following: container technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), messaging platforms (RabbitMQ, Kafka, Azure Service Bus), data orchestration tools (Apache Ni Fi, Apache Airflow, Spark, Databricks), Azure cloud
