Join us to be part of a team that solves complex data challenges with creativity and cutting-edge technology.

• Technical Leadership & Mentorship:
  Lead, mentor, and provide technical direction to a multi-disciplinary team of engineers (Data, Dev Ops, Security). Foster a culture of high technical standards, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Detailed Solution Design:
  Partner with the Solutions Architect and Project Manager to decompose high-level architecture into detailed technical designs, actionable tasks, and implementation plans for the engineering team.
• Hands-on Development:
  Act as the lead engineer, personally designing and building the most complex components of the solution, including data pipelines, IaC modules, and CI/CD frameworks.
• Cross-Functional Integration:
  Drive the seamless integration of diverse systems, including OT data from historians (OSIsoft PI), data platforms (Databricks), cloud infrastructure (Azure), and CI/CD pipelines (Azure Dev Ops).
• Technical Governance & Quality:
  Enforce technical best practices across all domains. Conduct rigorous code reviews, design reviews, and security assessments. Ensure all solutions adhere to "security-by-design" principles, CI/CD automation standards, and data governance policies.
