  1. You’ll be instrumental in building data ingestion strategies that scale and stay rock-solid. Imagine working with a mix of traditional batch ETL, CDC, and event-based methods – it’s going to be thrilling!
  2. Your expertise in infrastructure-as-code, continuous integration, and automated deployment will be a game-changer. We’re super thrilled about your ability to ensure top-notch observability.
  3. Guess what? We’re all about that DevOps mindset, and we know you’ll bring some serious value to our team with your expertise in that area.
  4. Performance is the name of the game, and your database and data warehouse know-how will help us optimize those queries for amazing results.
  5. We’re on the lookout for someone who loves tackling challenges head-on, solving those tricky problems, and constantly elevating our analytics platform.
  6. If you’ve got over 3 years of experience with Azure data and analytics services like Synapse Analytics, SQL Managed Instance, Databricks, Event Hub, Data Factory, and Log Analytics – you’re exactly who we need!
  7. But that’s not all – we’re also interested in your experience with container and orchestration tools like Kubernetes, Docker, and Podman. Plus, if you’ve worked with orchestration systems like Apache Airflow, that’s a major plus in our book!
  8. And hey, we’re all about embracing the infrastructure-as-code approach. So if you’re well-versed in tools like Terraform, ARM, Cloudformation, or similar, you’re someone who should apply.
  9. If this sounds like the perfect fit for you, let’s connect! We can’t wait to hear more about your impressive experience and see how you’ll make a big impact on our team!
