• Deep understanding of ingestion, transformation, warehousing, governance, lineage, and consumption patterns.

• Platform Technologies.

Bonus if you have

• Experience using Datahub by Acryl for governance.

• Background running Astronomer at scale for production pipelines and integrating with enterprise controls.

What we offer you

• A pivotal leadership role shaping reliability across FIS's core data platforms (CDL, CDP, EDAI).

• Competitive salary, benefits, and extensive professional development opportunities.
