Position Specific Description

We are seeking a Senior IT Programmer Analyst: Cloud DevOps to join our Enterprise Data Office. In this senior role, you will lead the engineering, automation, and governance of cloud data infrastructure across AWS and GCP — enabling scalable, secure, and well-governed data services that power analytics, AI/ML, and enterprise data products at NextEra scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement and operate cloud data services across AWS and GCP, including managed data platforms, storage layers, compute, and networking with a data-first lens
• Practice Databricks platform engineering — workspace provisioning, Unity Catalog governance, cluster lifecycle management, workflow orchestration, and feature operationalization (including AI/BI capabilities)
• Engineer and maintain AWS data services (Redshift, S3, Glue, EMR, MSK, DMS, Lake Formation) and GCP data services (BigQuery, Cloud Storage) with emphasis on reliability, security, resiliency and cost efficiency
• Implement infrastructure automation for data platform provisioning using GitHubActions, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines — reducing manual toil and enabling self-service for business units
• Implement and enforce data access governance across platforms, including IAM policies, Unity Catalog permissions, Lake Formation controls, and project-based authorization models
• Champion FinOps practices — tagging compliance, chargeback, cost anomaly detection, and budget governance across cloud data spend
• Serve as Tier 3 escalation for data platform incidents, ensuring SLA adherence and operational continuity

Preferred Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in Cloud Platform Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure Engineering, or related disciplines, with meaningful experience supporting enterprise data platforms
• Solid hands-on expertise with AWS and/or GCP, with experience building and operating production-grade cloud infrastructure and data services
• Databricks platform engineering experience, including workspace administration, Unity Catalog, compute, security, governance, and platform automation
• Familiarity with cloud data technologies such as S3, Redshift, Glue, Lake Formation, MSK, DMS, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, or Cloud Composer
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD, including Terraform and GitHub Actions or equivalent technologies
• Working knowledge of cloud networking and security, including IAM, VPC networking, private connectivity, DNS, encryption, secrets management, and service identities
• Experience implementing data governance and access-control frameworks across enterprise or multi-cloud environments
• Proficiency in Python, Shell, or similar languages for platform engineering and automation
• Experience with platform observability, incident management, resiliency, and production operational practices
• Familiarity with ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms in the context of automated provisioning and operational workflows
• Ability to work with technical workstreams, contribute to architecture decisions, and communicate effectively with both technical teams and stakeholders
• A positive attitude, strong collaborative spirit, and agentic/automation-first mindset.
