  • Ensure data-intensive workloads are engineered for performance and scale
  • Standardize patterns for resource efficiency across compute-heavy systems
  • Establish SRE best practices including SLOs, SLAs, incident management, and performance monitoring
  • Oversee implementation of observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, etc.)
  • Ensure security and compliance standards are embedded in platform design
  • Improve resilience and disaster recovery strategies
  • Build and lead a high-performing Platform Engineering organization
  • Mentor senior engineers and platform leads
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering, Data, and Security leadership
  • Create a culture of operational excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement

Requirements
