Senior Data Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve Sword’s streaming lakehouse - the foundation that every data consumer in the company depends on.
• Build and operate distributed streaming pipelines that move data at low latency and high reliability.
• Own the durable workflows that coordinate complex data movement across systems.
• Shape the platform’s API surface - the interface producers and consumers use so they never need to touch infrastructure.
• Drive evaluations and integrations with vendor data platforms, sitting inside the architectural trade-offs rather than just consuming the output.
• Contribute to the self-service and agentic layer: interfaces designed to be consumed by humans, systems, and AI agents alike.
• Partner with data engineers and analysts on contracts, governance, and lineage.
• Build and maintain AI-ready data infrastructure that powers ML and AI-driven products across Sword.
• Leverage AI coding assistants and LLMs to accelerate development, automate documentation, and raise code quality.
• Work in a regulated environment where audit, compliance, and governance are part of every design.
