Responsibilities
Work with our platform users to enable adoption and work tactically at the right level between all aspects of the platform or the services we leverage. We are here to enable others
Contribute to technical alignment between all functions offered by the platform. You will work a lot in the integration and complementarity of the services, aiming to converge the solutions space towards a simple, reusable and opinionated set
Have a particular focus on data services convergence: transactional, at rest and in transit. This will extend to the integration with analytical systems and cross-functional support (for example data compliance, data contracts)
Be a product advocate for the platform itself: notice the opportunities between different solutions, assess whether a platform solution would bring value and work on the delivery of this. Our objective is to pursue a platform-as-a-product delivery
Provide hands-on, evidence-based and example-based decisions. Sometimes this means getting familiar with technologies you did not know before
Steering high impact solution from initial inception to org-wide deployment
Drive the platform itself and the culture to a model of modern engineering practices
Guide foundational and architectural design and delivery- including education, documentation and collaborative delivery. Our work must be approachable
As a key member of the team, you'll participate in technical discussions, write specifications, review code, and produce documentation. Success in this role therefore requires strong self-motivation, crisp and clear communication, a highly collaborative approach, and the ability to work effectively across teams and disciplines

A track record of building and sustaining healthy long-term relationships within your team, and beyond its boundaries
The tenacity and perseverance to drive a complex project all the way from conception to production
4+ years of relevant industry experience as a software engineer and product-oriented architecture
No formal degree is required. What matters most is your mindset, your initiative, and your ability to apply your skills to real-world applications
Preferred
Practical experience with internal developer platform and commodity data engineering products with bonus points for working in the overlap between services and data
Demonstrable experience of working on a data mesh or an event mesh or similar architectures
Experience converging evolving diverse and varied architectures into unified opinionated solutions
Been an advocate for continuous delivery, DevOps and similar best practices and familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code
Familiarity with our technical stack and its major components: AWS, Java, Kotlin, HTTP/REST, gRPC, container orchestration with Kubernetes and the management plane with Controller and Operators, Data Science tools like Iceberg, Spark, Flink, SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g. Aurora, DynamoDB, CockroachDB, Oracle)
Time spent architecting, building, supporting or otherwise working on cloud-native (e.g. AWS) applications with resilience as a core feature
