  • Experience with observability tools (Prometheus, StatsD, GCL)
  • Strong Python skills
  • Ability to work independently after a structured onboarding period

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, Fabric, or ClickHouse
  • Experience managing multiple Terraform states and complex environments

Why This Role Matters

  • Automates previously manual metric extraction processes
  • Enables new capabilities and self‑service features on the data platform
  • Improves platform reliability after Kubernetes migration
  • Frees up team capacity by owning critical integration and automation work

Team & Environment

  • Collaborative, platform‑focused culture with a strong emphasis on automation
