Short Description:Tech Specialist / Senior Staff Software Engineer Enterprise Data Platform (EDP)Role Overview:We are looking for a hands-on Tech Specialist Software Engineer to lead the design and execution of core capabilities within our Enterprise Data Platform (EDP), spanning data ingestion, access, and governance.This role is for someone who can operate at both architectural and implementation depth, translating complex, ambiguous data requirements into scalable, production-grade systems, while actively contributing to code, design, and platform evolution.You will play a critical role in building a platform-first ecosystem that enables teams to onboard, process, and consume data reliably, securely, and efficiently.Key Responsibilities1. Architecture & System DesignTranslate complex business and data requirements into scalable, resilient platform architecturesDesign end-to-end data flows across ingestion (batch/stream), transformation, and consumption layersDefine platform patterns for ingestion, data access (APIs, query layers), and governance (metadata, lineage, policy enforcement)Clearly articulate trade-offs and decisions across architecture choices (e.g., platform vs bespoke pipelines, batch vs streaming, UI vs code-first)2. Hands-On Engineering & ExecutionActively contribute to production-grade code across ingestion frameworks, orchestration, and platform servicesBuild and evolve reusable platform components (connectors, SDKs, APIs, templates)Drive implementation of data ingestion pipelines (e.g., CDC, batch, streaming) into platforms like BigQueryDevelop services enabling data access patterns (data APIs, query abstraction layers, secure access mechanisms)Implement governance capabilities including metadata capture, lineage, data quality, and policy enforcement3. Platform & Developer ExperienceBuild a platform-first experience that abstracts complexity for downstream teamsEnable both low-code/no-code (UI) and code-first (SDK/API) approaches for data onboarding and processingImprove developer productivity through standardization, templates, and automation4. Data Governance & ObservabilityDesign and implement data quality frameworks, validation pipelines, and monitoringEnable end-to-end lineage and impact analysisEstablish observability for data products (freshness, reliability, usage, cost)Ensure secure and compliant data access through policy-driven controls5. Engineering ExcellenceWrite clean, maintainable, and scalable code following best practices (SOLID, DRY, design patterns)Lead code reviews and drive a culture of high-quality engineeringPerform root cause analysis and implement long-term fixes, not just patchesContribute to technical documentation, design reviews, and knowledge sharing6. Collaboration & LeadershipPartner closely with Product, Data Engineering, and Platform teamsHelp shape technical roadmaps and influence platform strategyMentor engineers and drive engineering best practices across teamsAct as a technical DRI for critical platform initiatives What We’re Looking ForStrong experience in building large-scale data platforms or distributed systemsDeep expertise in data ingestion patterns (CDC, streaming, batch)Experience with data access layers, APIs, and query optimizationStrong understanding of data governance (metadata, lineage, data quality, access control)Proven ability to design AND implement complex systems (not just high-level architecture) Technology StackProgramming: Python, Java (or similar)Data & Cloud: GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub, Datastream preferred)Frameworks: Spring Boot, Google ADK (or similar AI/agent frameworks where applicable)CI/CD & Infra: Terraform, GitHub ActionsMetadata & Governance: DataHub (or similar tools)Orchestration: Airflow / Astronomer Nice to HaveExperience with AI Agents / LLM-powered workflows for data automation or observabilityExposure to multi-modal data processing (logs, sensor, image data)Experience building platform SDKs or developer tooling Who You AreYou are a builder at heart. You care about writing high-quality code, but also about the systems and platforms that code enables. You take ownership end-to-end, from problem definition to production, and you are driven by impact.You bring a product mindset to platform engineering, understanding that the ultimate goal is to enable other teams to move faster and more effectively. You value collaboration, enjoy mentoring others, and continuously look for ways to improve both the system and the team around you.Role: Data Platform Engineer,Industry Type: Automobile,Department: Engineering - Software & QA,Employment Type: Full Time, PermanentRole Category: Software DevelopmentEducationUG: Any Graduate
