- Maintain security and access hygiene using IAM, secrets management, and audits.
Qualifications & Experience
- 5+ years of production data pipeline and platform experience.
- Strong Python and SQL skills; familiarity with distributed, time-series, or NoSQL databases.
- Experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Knowledge of Docker, Terraform (or similar), and orchestration tools (Airflow/Prefect/Dagster).
- Familiarity with distributed compute frameworks (Spark/Dask/Beam) and data warehouses/lakes.
- Experience in monitoring, observability, and cost management.
- Proven delivery for quantitative or ML/DS teams with clear design trade-offs.
