As a Senior Data Engineer within the DGX Cloud organization, you will join the data team to build a reliable foundation for fleet health, capacity, and operational decision-making. You will serve as a technical lead responsible for the architecture, roadmap, and production results of major platform components like ingestion, orchestration, and data quality. Your daily work involves building data pipelines, defining stable data models, and developing shared platform capabilities to transform distributed infrastructure telemetry into dependable products. The role requires extensive experience with Python, SQL, Databricks, and Spark to manage large-scale data volumes. You will lead complex investigations across systems, mentor engineers, and ensure high standards for security and reliability. This position solves the critical challenge of managing massive GPU fleets across various cloud providers by providing actionable insights through well-modeled tables and automated tools.

What you'll do

  • Own a major platform component by defining its architecture, technical roadmap, and multi-year evolution goals.
  • Build and manage batch and streaming data pipelines for fleet telemetry using Python, SQL, Databricks, and Spark.
  • Translate vague customer requirements into clear technical objectives and actionable tasks for engineering teams.
  • Establish stable data models and shared platform capabilities like libraries, workflows, and deployment tools.
  • Lead complex production investigations across infrastructure layers to resolve critical issues and implement preventive measures.
  • Define and implement standards for data quality, security, reliability, and automated monitoring.
  • Deliver well-modeled tables, APIs, and dashboards to support operational decision-making for internal customers.
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership through design reviews and evidence-based resolution of technical disagreements.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • At least 12 years of experience building and operating production software, data platforms, databases, or distributed systems.
  • Proven ability to lead technical plans, define objectives, and guide engineering teams through complex projects with minimal supervision.
  • Extensive practical experience in Spark, relational/distributed databases, production ETL, streaming, or backend cloud platforms.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL for building data pipelines, modeling, and debugging critical code paths.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex investigations across multiple components and coordinate resolutions involving various teams.
  • Experience establishing production quality standards such as testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and secure deployment practices.
  • Expertise in Databricks, Spark, Kafka, or GPU cluster operations (preferred).
