Description
The Platform Engineering Manager will lead the engineering teams responsible for building, automating, and operating the Nexus One data platform within enterprise client environments.
This individual is a player-coach — equally capable of hands‑on delivery and strategic leadership — driving platform automation, scalability, and reliability across global deployments.
They will oversee a cross‑functional team of Platform Engineers, Dev Ops, and Data Ops resources, ensuring all Nexus One deployments meet performance, compliance, and uptime goals.
Core Responsibilities- Lead and mentor Platform Engineers, Dev Ops, and Data Ops teams responsible for standing up and managing Nexus One environments.
- Define and implement infrastructure‑as‑code (IaC) patterns and CI/CD pipelines for consistent, repeatable deployments.
- Partner with the Platform Architect to translate solution designs into executable engineering plans.
- Drive environment readiness (Pre‑Prod, UAT, Production) in alignment with enterprise change management processes.
- Establish and monitor operational SLAs, uptime metrics, and performance KPIs.
- Ensure strong security posture, compliance with IAM policies, and integration with enterprise authentication frameworks.
- Oversee patching, upgrades, and lifecycle management for all open‑source components (Spark, Trino, Airflow, NiFi, Ranger, etc.).
- Lead incident response, root‑cause analysis, and post‑mortems to ensure platform stability and continuous improvement.
- Support internal and client‑facing Architecture Review Boards and technical documentation efforts.
- Infrastructure & Automation: Jenkins, Git Lab CI/CD, Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes (K8s), Open Shift (OCP), Vault, Ansible
- Platform Components: Spark, Trino, Airflow, NiFi, Ranger, Iceberg, Data Hub
- Security & Networking: IAM, SSO, RBAC, Kerberos, firewall configurations, and secure network zoning
- Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk
- Languages & OS: Linux, Bash, Python, YAML, Go (plus familiarity with Java/Scala)
- Process & Delivery: Agile/Scrum, Dev Ops, ITIL change management
- 8–12 years of experience managing platform or infrastructure teams in data platform, Dev Ops, or SRE organizations.
- Strong background as a hands‑on engineer in earlier roles; comfortable leading by example.
- Experience at scale — e.g., Cloudera, Databricks, AWS EMR, or large hybrid‑cloud enterprise environments.
- Proven record building and mentoring global teams (USA/India model preferred).
- Deep understanding of enterprise‑grade deployment, observability, and operational excellence practices.
- Successful on‑time deployment of Nexus One environments with high platform stability and zero major incidents.
- Demonstrated improvement in deployment velocity and reduction in environment provisioning time.
- Clear, measurable SLA adherence across uptime, performance, and support metrics.
- Documented automation and CI/CD frameworks reusable across future clients.
- Positive team engagement and retention; consistent delivery of high‑quality, secure platform builds.
