  • Enable data virtualisation via Trino or query federation tools
  • Operate Airflow as a platform service with production standards

  • Collaborate with security, risk, and engineering teams

Key Skills & Experience

  • Strong experience in Kubernetes or cloud‑native platform engineering
  • Exposure to multi‑tenant platform architectures
  • API management or integration tooling (Kong, Apigee, gateways)
  • Airflow in production environments
  • Observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, tracing)
  • Data access technologies (Trino, federation, or query engines)
  • Solid engineering fundamentals: version control, CI/CD, IaC concepts

Nice to Have

  • Security, audit, or policy‑as‑code exposure
  • Container image management (Harbor or similar)
  • Data storage experience (S3, Hive, RDBMS)
  • Experience building internal developer platforms
