About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Data Platform / DevOps Engineer to play a crucial role in transforming the organization into a data-driven entity. This role involves designing, building, and maintaining a robust, scalable, and secure cloud-based data and analytics platform. The focus will be on implementing best practices, automating infrastructure, and establishing continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines across multiple environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture:
  • Design, provision, and configure cloud infrastructure within the Azure tenant using "Infrastructure as Code" (IaC) principles to ensure automation, consistency, and scalability.
  • Conduct thorough reviews of current cloud implementation and design a future-proof architecture for the Data and Analytics platform.
  • Define and implement standardized naming conventions and specific cloud setup configurations for an organized and manageable environment.
• Security and Access Management:
  • Configure and implement robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) and User Access Management (UAM) to ensure secure and controlled access to all data and analytics resources.
• Environment Setup and CI/CD:
  • Establish and configure distinct environments (Development, Testing, Staging, Production) to support a strong CI/CD process and speed up release cycles.
  • Configure and optimize underlying data storage components, such as Data Lake Storage and Data Governance tools (e.g., Unity Catalog configuration), to support the Medallion architecture.
  • Integrate and configure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) tools (e.g., source code management, CI/CD pipelines) to manage code repositories and automated deployments.
  • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate the deployment of infrastructure, data pipelines, data models, and BI reports across environments.
• Testing Infrastructure:
  • Provide and maintain the necessary infrastructure to facilitate comprehensive testing, including Unit Testing, Regression Testing, System Integration Testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).

Core Deliverables & Success Criteria

• Foundational Stability: Establish a robust, future-proof, and scalable data and analytics platform.
• Documentation Completeness: Deliver comprehensive documentation of the architecture, data flows, governance policies, environment configurations, and IAM/UAM setup.
• Operational Multi-Environment Setup: Fully operational and properly configured development, testing, staging, and production environments are in place, supporting strong CI/CD.
• Access Control: Ensure data security system controls are effectively implemented, including robust UAM and IAM.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience in cloud infrastructure provisioning and configuration, ideally with Azure (Databricks, Data Lake Storage, Key Vault).
• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools and practices.
• Strong experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools like Azure Pipelines or GitHub Actions.
• Deep understanding of data storage concepts and data governance, particularly the Medallion architecture.
• Familiarity with setting up and configuring data platforms for multiple Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) stages.
