Senior Backend / Platform Engineer
You'll be working on a critical enterprise data platform that powers access to centralized data warehouse systems through high scale APIs. This platform is a core part of the organization's data ecosystem, serving ~12 million API requests per day and enabling teams across the business to reliably discover, manage, and consume data. At this scale, engineering decisions matter. The team is focused on:
- Designing systems that scale efficiently under high request volumes
- Running Kubernetes in real-world, production environments
- Being thoughtful about cloud cost and resource utilization
- Building smart, efficient architectures (not "scale at all costs")
The Role We're looking for a Senior Backend / Platform Engineer to help scale and automate an enterprise Git Ops-driven data management platform. This platform governs thousands of tables in a centralized data warehouse and enables reliable, governed deployments through automation. In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of application code, configuration, and infrastructure-as-code, helping build the automation layer that makes large-scale, governed data platforms possible.
What You'll Do
- Build and evolve backend services that automate the full lifecycle of enterprise data products and metadata
- Design and maintain a Git Ops-based deployment engine, using CI/CD pipelines and Terraform to manage data assets at scale
- Implement robust change management and access control mechanisms to support governance across thousands of distributed entities
- Create self-service APIs and automation that reduce friction for data producers and platform users
- Support the reliability, performance, and scalability of CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native infrastructure
- Partner closely with platform, data, and infrastructure teams to deliver secure and efficient systems
Why This Role Is Interesting
- You'll be working on a mission critical platform that directly supports enterprise-wide data access
- The problems are real and complex: scale, governance, automation, and cost awareness
- You'll have ownership and influence over how large-scale data platforms are built and operated
- The role blends deep technical work with platform thinking and long-term system design
