Job Description
*
* Who We Are:

** TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TKO) is a premium sports and entertainment company. TKO owns iconic properties including UFC, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization; WWE, the global leader in sports entertainment; and P , the world’s premier bull riding organization. Together, these properties reach 1 billion households across 210 countries and territories and organize more than 500 live events year-round, attracting more than three million fans.

TKO also services and partners with major sports rights holders through IMG, an industry-leading global sports marketing agency; and On Location, a global leader in premium experiential hospitality.

The Senior Data Engineer, Data Platform is a hands-on engineering role at the center of TKO's data estate. Day to day, the role owns pipelines, data models, and Snowflake infrastructure, and resolves the issues that surface across TKO's data workflows. Over the next two years, the role also helps build the platform those workflows will move onto.

TKO today runs several data platforms side by side — separate Snowflake accounts, two clouds, three orchestrators, and four reporting tools — a product of bringing UFC, WWE, P , IMG, and On Location together under one company. The Platform Unification program consolidates that estate onto a single reference architecture: one Snowflake account, dbt for transformation, Prefect on Kubernetes for orchestration, Terraform for infrastructure, Git Hub Actions with OIDC for delivery, and governance applied as code rather than by convention.

This role is one of the engineers who builds it. The emphasis is deliberately on platform depth rather than depth in any one business unit. We are looking for an engineer who has operated a shared data platform used by many teams — someone who thinks in terms of reusable frameworks, access models, warehouse cost, blast radius, and the paved path that keeps other teams from inventing their own — and who can take a standard built in one corner of the estate and make it hold across UFC, WWE, P , IMG, and On Location.

Business-unit domain knowledge will be built on the job. The platform engineering judgment needs to arrive with the person.

The role sits within TKO's Enterprise Data organization, reports to the Manager, Data Engineering, and works closely with Dev Ops, Data Science, Analytics Engineering, Cybersecurity, IT, and the global delivery partners supporting the brand.  

Roles and Responsibilities
** Platform Ownership and Reliability
*** Own pipelines, data models, and platform reliability end to end, covering all ingress and egress paths into and out of Snowflake.
* Act as an escalation point for platform incidents — triage orchestration, transformation, and monitoring alerts, run root cause analysis, and close issues out with permanent fixes rather than recurring manual intervention.
* Define and hold service levels for the pipelines the business depends on: freshness, job success rate, and time to recover. Report honestly against them.
* Provide debug, triage, support, and design guidance to engineers and analysts working anywhere in the platform.
* Share in the team's on-call and event-support rotation, including heightened coverage around major live events.  
** Platform Unification and the North Star Architecture
*** Design and build the shared components of TKO's unified platform: the canonical medallion layering, the role and access taxonomy, the shared ingestion library, and the orchestration framework…
