- Help move the data-platform infrastructure and workloads to AWS us-east-2 (USE2), including required connectivity, deployment, and operational prerequisites.
- Enable secure, governed accessibility of data to data-platform consumers and downstream systems.
- Modernize the data-platform architecture, tooling, orchestration, storage, and operational practices to align with organizational standards.
- Support Snowflake, Confluent/Kafka, AWS, and data-platform infrastructure migration and operations across stage and production.
- Participate in production troubleshooting, incident response, documentation, runbook creation, and cross-team migration coordination.
- Use Terraform/IaC, GitLab, monitoring and documented processes to deliver repeatable and auditable changes.

- Deep Kafka/Confluent and AWS, with working Snowflake knowledge.
- Experience operating or migrating production systems across development, stage, and production environments.
- Strong troubleshooting, incident-response, testing, documentation, and cross-team communication skills.
