Who You Are

You’re hands-on with data platforms and production workflows. You troubleshoot problems, improve how systems operate, and take ownership from investigation through resolution. You’re comfortable making progress independently and working closely with a small data team.

About The Role

This role reports to the Director of Enterprise Data & Analytics and works closely with data engineers and analysts to operate and secure the data platform. You will manage workflows, pipelines, integrations, access, and platform configuration; monitor and resolve operational issues; and support testing and release practices. You will also document ownership, procedures, and recovery steps to keep the platform reliable as the company grows.

Other responsibilities include

Implement and maintain Airflow workflows, including scheduling, dependencies, monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting.
Build and support data pipelines and integrations across the data platform (warehouse, transformation layer, code repository, etc).
Configure and maintain platform environments, integrations, and settings.
Administer users, roles, permissions, and service accounts; apply least-privilege access and secure credential practices, including row-level security.
Monitor pipeline freshness, volume, and failures; investigate issues, restore service, and prevent recurring problems.
