We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse, inclusive team.
At Best Egg, we’re a cloud‑first organization embracing new ideas, modern tooling, and forward‑leaning architecture. We work closely with Snowflake, AWS & other partners to push our data platform forward and unlock new ways to deliver value. Snowflake powers our analytics foundation, supported by event‑driven patterns, Python, Postgres, JSON data, and AWS data lake. We deploy through a modern CI/CD and Infrastructure‑as‑Code pipeline, running workloads across both managed containers and serverless environments — always choosing the right tool for the job.
Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Data Platform Engineer II to join our team. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise across data platforms, data management, data products, SQL, cloud‑first engineering, and modern DevOps practices as a seasoned data engineer with a track record of owning complex data initiatives end‑to‑end. Experience with Snowflake and AWS is strongly preferred. Must be an advisor and confidante on data governance, best practices, and platform maturity. This is not a junior or entry‑level role — we are looking for someone who brings depth, judgment, and leadership.
In this role, you will lead the design, development, and scaling of our data platform capabilities. You will work across diverse data domains, drive data discovery for new and evolving requirements, and build robust data transfer and migration solutions. You will also play a key role in advancing our data governance and data product maturity, ensuring our platform is reliable, scalable, and aligned with best‑in‑class engineering standards. You should be equally comfortable acting as an independent contributor, a team player, and a advisor.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated engineer who is passionate about building, improving, and maturing data ecosystems. If you thrive in cloud‑native environments, enjoy solving complex data challenges, and want to influence the direction of our data strategy, we encourage you to apply.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and deploy data platform components across Snowflake, AWS, and the broader technology stack.
- Architect, implement, and support data capabilities including automations, integrations, interfaces, and underlying infrastructure.
- Develop, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable and repeatable data delivery.
- Implement and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting frameworks to ensure the availability, quality, and performance of data assets.
- Serve as a data leader, data champion and subject‑matter expert for engineering, product, and business teams, providing mentorship and guidance to junior engineers.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to identify, troubleshoot, and solve complex technical and data‑related challenges.
- Ensure adherence to security, privacy, and compliance standards, including SOC2 and PCI‑DSS.
Required Skills:
- 7+ years of experience in data management and ETL/ELT development, with a strong focus on building high‑quality, scalable data products.
- Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL.
- Hands‑on experience with AWS services such as Lambda, S3, serverless architectures, and containerized workloads (e.g., Docker).
- Strong background in DevOps practices, automation, and modern deployment workflows.
- Experience with configuration management tools
- Proven experience designing, building, and maturing data products and data platform capabilities.
- Experience working across both on‑premises data environments and cloud‑first architectures.
- Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and leadership abilities.
Recommended Skills:
- Experience with Snowflake
- Experience with Monte Carlo – Observability Tool
- Experience with AWS "serverless" technologies (e.g. lambda, step functions, fargate)
- Knowledge of GitHub products (actions, workspaces, secrets, etc)
