Senior Data & Platform Engineer

About the role

Required: a Databricks Professional certification or a Databricks Champion badge. This role leads our Databricks work, so we only consider applicants who already hold one of the two.

Lead the technical design and build of the cloud-native, data-mesh platforms Overstand delivers for enterprise clients.

You will be technical product owner and trusted adviser at once: guiding IT leadership on technology choices, guiding engineering teams on how to build well, and shaping systems whose impact reaches far past the platform team.

What you’ll lead

• Platform direction, set with data engineering and business teams once you understand how they actually work
• Functional design and development of application systems across every technology and platform in scope
• Requirements: turning what users need into process and data requirements, and checking that each specification still meets the business need
• Advice to senior IT leadership on current and emerging infrastructure technology, with technology selection grounded in evidence
• New systems with broad business impact, designed to be understood, built and verified

What you’ll bring

• A record of advising senior leaders and influencing technology decisions
• 8–10+ years designing, developing, implementing and supporting applications
• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or the equivalent
