Experience provisioning and managing AWS Managed Data Services (RDS Aurora, MSK, ElastiCache) using Crossplane - defining cloud infrastructure as Kubernetes-native custom resources

Familiarity with security and compliance requirements in financial data systems

Background in platform migrations - data center-to-cloud, infrastructure consolidation, or cloud-to-cloud transitions

Experience at elevating team technical standards through code review, runbooks, and shared tooling

Exposure to emerging technologies including vector databases or AI-ready data infrastructure

Minimum Qualifications

5+ years of hands-on experience operating and scaling distributed data platforms - including Cassandra, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis - in large-scale production environments

Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects independently - from scoping and design through delivery and post-launch ownership

Deep expertise with AWS data services (Aurora Postger, RDS MSK, ElastiCache) and experience designing hybrid or multi-cloud architectures

Experience deploying and operating containerized database workloads on Kubernetes in production

Solid Python skills for automation, operational tooling, and platform workflows

Deep understanding of database internals - query optimization, cluster tuning, capacity planning, and failure analysis

Proven experience designing and executing HA/DR strategies, zero-downtime migrations, and large-scale infrastructure transitions

Strong cross-functional collaboration skills - ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across engineering teams

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
