About this role
Role Overview
- Ensure the reliability and performance of our data platform services (Trino, Iceberg, S3, Kafka, Flink)
- Define and implement SRE best practices: SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and observability
- Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and incident response frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)
- Contribute to the migration from a public cloud data warehouse to VeepeeCloud’s lakehouse stack
- Support coexistence between cloud and on-prem systems and ensure data consistency and service reliability
- Help design resilient architectures for ingestion, transformation, and serving layers
- Operate and improve services running on Kubernetes (GKE/EKS and on-prem clusters)
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Atlantis, and/or Crossplane
- Improve GitOps workflows for platform deployment and configuration
- Collaborate with teams to optimize compute and storage usage (Trino queries, BigQuery slots, etc.)
- Build tools and dashboards to track cost, usage, and efficiency
- Support the transition toward cost-efficient on-prem workloads
- Improve self-service capabilities for data teams (e.g., provisioning Trino/Iceberg resources)
- Help teams adopt best practices in reliability, observability, and deployment
- Write clear technical documentation and runbooks
- Contribute to the definition and implementation of the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)
- Ensure multi-DC resilience (FR1 / NL1) and implement data replication strategies
- Participate in incident management and postmortems
