Job Description

We are seeking a Data Platform Engineer to lead the architectural hardening and enterprise integration of Dataiku within our modern data stack, including Snowflake, DBT, and AWS. This is not a traditional data science role. You will act as the primary architect responsible for building the governance-as-code layer that enables non-technical users to innovate safely. You will bridge the gap between rapid prototyping and production-grade engineering by implementing automated project standards, data quality gates, and secure tokenization patterns.

Responsibilities:

• Platform hardening by designing and implementing Dataiku Project Standards that act as a linter for production readiness across naming, metadata, and security requirements.
• Governance automation through custom Dataiku plugins and API integrations to enforce Tier 1 and Tier 2 data quality checks and block promotion to production when standards are not met.
• Secure architecture in partnership with Information Security to integrate Fortanix tokenization and field-level encryption within Dataiku visual recipes and Python workflows.
• Hybrid integration to build and maintain the promotion path where ad-hoc Dataiku prototypes are hardened and refactored into DBT when needed for enterprise use.
• Operational excellence by integrating Dataiku monitoring with ServiceNow to automate incident creation for pipeline failures and data quality drift.
• User enablement as the technical steward for non-technical business units, delivering approved templates and secure data products in the Data Exchange.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Expertise with Dataiku DSS, including project standards, plugins, APIs, and automation nodes.
• Proficiency with Snowflake, DBT, and AWS data services for production data pipelines.
• Hands-on experience implementing data quality frameworks and promotion workflows.
• Strong Python skills for Dataiku code recipes, APIs, and integration tasks.
• Knowledge of security controls, including tokenization and field-level encryption, preferably with Fortanix or similar tools.
• Experience integrating monitoring and incident management platforms such as ServiceNow.
• Clear communication and the ability to enable non-technical stakeholders with safe, reusable patterns.
• 5+ years in data platform engineering or related roles.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience designing governance-as-code frameworks in enterprise environments.
• Background working with finance or other business functions to operationalize analytics safely.
