Data Platform Engineer

This role owns the foundations that everything else depends on.As a Data Platform Engineer at SentraAI you will build and operate the infrastructure tooling and services that underpin large-scale enterprise data and AI systems spanning numerous source systems high data volumes and extensive pipeline estates.If you have not operated platforms in production handled incidents or taken accountability for reliability and cost this role is not for you.The Operating ContextSentraAI is delivering a multi-year data and AI transformation for a complex enterprise.The programme includes:Migration from legacy on-prem and bespoke platformsA modern cloud lakehouse architecture supporting batch and real-time workloadsEnterprise analytics operational reporting and AI workloads at scaleHigh expectations around governance security and availabilityThis is not greenfield. The platform is live relied upon and scrutinised.Your AccountabilityYou are accountable for the stability performance security and cost efficiency of the data platform.That includes:Building and maintaining cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as CodeOperating and tuning distributed compute and storage servicesRunning and maintaining event streaming and CDC infrastructureImplementing CI/CD for platform and data assetsMonitoring alerting and incident response for live systemsSupporting engineers during failures and critical delivery windowsOwnership does not stop at provisioningRequirementsWhat You Will Build and OperateCloud infrastructure using Terraform Pulumi or equivalentDistributed data processing environments and runtimesEvent streaming platforms and integration servicesObject storage layouts lifecycle policies and access controlsObservability stacks for platform and pipeline healthAutomated scaling recovery and cost controlsYou are expected to actively use AI tools to improve reliability automation and operational efficiency within defined governance standards.This Role Is Not For You IfYou have only worked in development environments not productionYou avoid incident ownership or operational responsibilityYou treat infrastructure as static rather than evolving systemsYou are uncomfortable balancing reliability cost and delivery speedYou prefer tools over outcomesWe are explicit because the platform cannot fail quietly.What Strong Looks LikeWithin 612 months:Platform reliability and performance are consistently highIncident frequency and recovery times decreaseEngineers trust the platform and do not work around itCosts are predictable and well-controlledStandards exist because they work not because they are enforcedThis is how performance is measured.BenefitsOwnership of a core enterprise data platformExposure to complex high-scale systemsA team that values operational excellenceMeritocratic progression based on impactCareer capital that is globally credibleFinal NoteSentraAI does not build fragile platforms.We build systems that survive scale scrutiny and failure.If you want to own infrastructure that matters and are comfortable being accountable for it we should talk.#J-18808-Ljbffr
