Staff Data Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

• Build the data control plane. One place to see and govern what data products exist: schemas, lineage, ownership, freshness commitments, quality, access. Built for people browsing and agents querying.
• Build the paved road for standing up a data product. Libraries, SDKs, templates, and data-specific CI/CD on Kargo's engineering platform, plus a supported near-real-time pattern. Following the standard should be easier than bypassing it.
• Build the enforcement layer for the data standards. Schema registry, the contract validator and the CI step that runs it, automated certification.
• Set the platform's technical direction. Architecture, roadmap, and build-versus-buy calls, informed by what the teams who produce and consume data actually need. Run the design reviews where they weigh in, and keep the platform modular enough that they contribute capabilities back.
