- Orchestrate and operate jobs and workflows using Airflow and AWS Glue, ensuring reliability, cost efficiency and observability.
- Collaborate with product, platform and QA to ensure systems are testable, observable and resilient, with clear SLOs and dashboards.
- Own features end to end including design, implementation, code reviews, performance tuning, deployment and production support.
- Contribute to engineering standards, code quality and governance, including DevSecOps practices and release processes.
- Mentor engineers, promote best practices and continuously improve tooling, pipelines and developer experience. Mandatory Skills
- 3-5 years of hands-on programming and software development.
- Proven ability to design and build automation frameworks.
- Familiarity with observability tools and microservices architecture.
- The successful applicant will use a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks. We encourage applicants who might have a strong number of skills below, even if you do not know all of them.
- Python and scripting: Robust hands-on development in Python plus pragmatic shell scripting in Linux environments.
