The RAZR Core Values You Live
Be Intentional
You take action and pursue the ultimate best outcome for RAZR and our clients
You dig in and understand the details of how the business works
You run towards, and you don’t run away
You understand that “whatever it takes” is just that
You have a plan, and you execute it even when you don’t feel like it
Embrace the Attitude of How
You understand that problems are simply opportunities to solve them
You view commitments as promises to be kept...regardless
You can’t stand not knowing; you have an unquenchable thirst to understand why
You are an active participant, never a spectator
You are focused on outcomes and not the time it takes to achieve them
Enjoy the Ride
You are grateful for both life’s challenges and opportunities
You passionately pursue excellence in everything you do
You laugh often and don’t take yourself too seriously
You love change, and living in the gray is energizing to you
You can't wait to get out of bed in the morning & get on with your day
Overview
We're looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and evolution of our data platform infrastructure. You'll own the end-to-end architecture of our CDC-based ETL pipelines and reporting infrastructure, from change capture at the database level through to analyst-ready datasets and dashboards. This is a technical leadership role - you'll set direction for how data moves through our systems, define standards, and mentor the team on best practices.
Responsibilities
Architect and maintain our real-time and batch data pipelines built on Debezium, Kafka, Flink, and DeltaStream
Own the Snowflake data warehouse strategy including schema design, dynamic table definitions, medallion-architecture layering (bronze/silver/gold), and query performance
Design and implement infrastructure-as-code for the data platform using Pulumi
Build and maintain the reporting layer that powers business intelligence through Sigma
Define data quality standards, monitoring, and alerting across the pipeline
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable data models
Establish patterns for incremental processing, late-arriving data, and schema evolution
Evaluate and introduce new technologies as the platform evolves
Required Experience
7+ years of experience in data engineering or data platform roles
Deep experience with streaming architectures: Kafka, Flink, CDC patterns (Debezium or equivalent)
Strong Snowflake expertise: dynamic tables, warehouse optimization, access control, cost management
Production experience with infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform, or CDK)
SQL fluency — you can write, optimize, and debug complex analytical queries
Experience designing medallion or multi-layer data architectures
Track record of leading technical design decisions and mentoring engineers
Preferred Experience
Experience with DeltaStream or similar managed stream processing platforms
Familiarity with Sigma or modern BI tools that push compute to the warehouse
Experience with PostgreSQL CDC pipelines specifically
Background in financial services, loyalty/rewards, or payments domains
Experience operating data platforms on AWS (RDS, Secrets Manager, ECS, Lambda)
About You
You'll operate with significant autonomy in technical decisions within the data platform domain
You'll partner closely with application engineers who produce the source data and analysts who consume it
You'll balance hands-on implementation with architectural guidance — this is not a purely advisory role
