Project description
We are seeking a seasoned professional whose role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, data engineering, and data product development.

- Build reusable data products and self-service capabilities.
- Design and maintain data pipelines and integration frameworks.
- Improve data quality, reliability, lineage, and monitoring.
- Accelerate research-to-production delivery: prototype solutions alongside researchers; establish patterns that make productionization easier and faster; reduce friction between research and engineering workflows.
Skills
Must have
- 10+ years of platform and data solutions experience
- Hands-on Databricks experience (workspace, notebooks, jobs) and building platform capabilities
- Python
- SQL
- Modern CI/CD, IaC (Terraform strongly preferred)
- Data Governance and observability (Unity Catalog, lineage, monitoring)
- Orchestration (Airflow)
- AI fluency: use of AI agents (Claude Code preferred) as a primary tool to design, build, test, and support solutions
Nice to have
- Financial domain experience, especially quant research
- API development
