• Operate and scale AI/GenAI capabilities with strong governance and cost control.
• Automate provisioning, access, and policy enforcement so data products are fast by default, safe by design, and fully auditable.
• Establish patterns for batch, streaming, and ML/AI workloads; drive interoperability via data contracts and shared schemas.
• Define and uphold CI/CD, testing, and release standards; set SLOs/SLIs, lead incident response, and drive post-mortem learning.
• Curate and evolve the DevOps/toolchain (IaC, secrets, orchestration, observability); lead upgrades and platform integrations.
• Influence roadmaps with senior stakeholders; mentor engineers and guide cross-domain initiatives from discovery to production.

• Deep Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform modules, workspaces, policy-as-code such as OPA/Sentinel; multi-account/cloud patterns)
• Strong cloud and data systems knowledge: Databricks/Spark, Delta Lake/Lakehouse, SQL/NoSQL, stream processing (Kafka/Event Hubs), object storage.
• Hands-on building platform SDKs and API integrations with versioning, packaging, and backward-compatibility guarantees.
• Operational experience with orchestration frameworks (Airflow, Databricks Workflows, Prefect, Dagster) and event-driven architectures.
• Security and privacy expertise: IAM, network isolation, secrets management, masking/lineage; awareness of GDPR and data residency.
• Observability at scale (Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, OpenTelemetry, ELK); data quality/lineage tooling (e.g., Unity Catalog, Great Expectations)
• FinOps leadership: cost modelling/optimization for compute, storage, and egress; chargeback/show back experience
• Great skills in communication and influence; mentoring and cross-functional decision-making with technical and executive audiences
