Data Platform Engineer (Mid-Level)

About the role

A partner company is recruiting a Data Platform Engineer (mid-level) based in Colombia.

• Build a reusable template repository with preconfigured CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code and governance standards, and create reusable modules that simplify pipeline creation.
• Write practical documentation, runbooks and troubleshooting guides.
• Design and manage data access-request processes and take ownership of the template repository and infrastructure modules.
• Collaborate with data engineers, backend engineers and infrastructure specialists, and use AI-assisted development tools while validating generated code.

Required profile

• Approximately two years or more of professional experience in software, data, platform, DevOps or infrastructure engineering.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience owning a deployment path end to end, including troubleshooting failures and writing runbooks.
• Willingness to work across data engineering, backend systems and infrastructure, and to use AI coding assistants critically.

Required skills
