Our team supports companies after their platforms go live—helping them scale, run efficiently, optimize performance, and maintain reliability across complex cloud ecosystems. Our work spans cloud engineering, platform operations, and data infrastructure modernization on leading technologies. We step in as long-term partners, not just implementers, helping our customers get the most out of their investments through hands-on expertise, strong operational rigor, and a deep understanding of how great platforms should run. Why join us? If you enjoy working directly with external customers, solving real-world operational challenges, and being the technical expert they rely on day-to-day, this is an ideal role. You’ll work with modern data stacks, cloud-native architectures, and high-scale environments—while partnering closely with engineering, platform, and business stakeholders.

Job Details You’ll be part of a customer-facing managed services team supporting cloud-native data platforms at scale.

Improve cost efficiency, performance, scalability, and reliability across Snowflake, AWS, Azure, and related ecosystems. Apply strong FinOps, data ops, and IT operations skills to keep platforms stable, predictable, and efficient. Build, improve, and support CI/CD pipelines for data and platform deployments. Leverage IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation) to automate provisioning and environment consistency. Implement monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and incident management best practices.
