Job Description
against Kubernetes or equivalent cloud-native infrastructure.
problems - evaluating dependencies, trade-offs, failure modes, scalability, cost, and long-term
durability before writing a line of code.
processing jobs, working comfortably in GDF's data engineering codebase alongside platform work.
automation, agentic services, and AI-assisted operational tooling (monitoring, incident triage, capacity
planning).
alerting, and incident response for services you build, with a strong Operational Excellence /
Engineering Excellence discipline.
enterprise integrations, with an explicit eye toward how platform choices affect downstream data
engineering workloads.
right primitives for data pipelines, feature stores, and model-serving paths.
production readiness reviews for a team building process from scratch.
broader GDF platform without needing a management title - mentor other engineers and influence
GDF's broader platform engineering standards.
pragmatically where they improve reliability, productivity, or business value.
operating large-scale distributed platforms; strong proficiency in Java and Python is required -
comfortable writing, reviewing, and debugging production code, not just directing others. Additional
experience with Go, C++, or Scala is a plus.
nice-to-have: SLO/SLA ownership, incident management and blameless post-incident reviews,
proactive reliability and quality metrics, and continuous improvement built into how you ship, not
bolted on afterward.
equivalent practical experience.
design, service contracts, and enterprise system integration - backed by strong system design,
domain-oriented design (DDD), and low-level design (LLD) skills, with demonstrated ownership of
production code and the judgment to evaluate trade-offs, failure modes, scalability, and cost.
equivalent orchestration, infrastructure automation, and production operations.
familiarity in Hadoop/HDFS, Hive, or Kafka - enough to flex into data engineering work confidently, not
just integrate with it from a distance.
GenAI/LLM tooling, building or operating agentic workflows (tool-calling agents, multi-step
autonomous systems), working with embeddings/vector search, and applying MLOps practices
(feature stores, model lifecycle, retraining pipelines) - not just conceptual awareness.
alerting, incident response, capacity planning, and fault tolerance for large-scale systems.
authorization, data protection, and secure API design.
particularly across a newly formed platform organization without fully established process.
0-to-1 environment.
