We are looking for someone with strong hands-on AWS experience who can manage and optimize cloud infrastructure, support platform operations, automate processes, improve reliability, and drive platform governance. Experience administering analytics tools such as MicroStrategy, Tableau, and Snowflake is highly desirable. While experience in data and analytics is helpful, we are not looking for a Data Engineer.

Experience with SaaS platforms commonly used in modern data ecosystems, such as Snowflake, MicroStrategy, monitoring tools, governance platforms, or similar technologies, is highly desirable.
This is a highly visible and collaborative role that balances day-to-day operational responsibilities with long-term strategic initiatives. The individual should have a strong bias for action and be comfortable responding to high-priority production issues, troubleshooting platform problems, and driving resolutions quickly in business-critical situations.

Expertise in AWS cost analysis, cloud financial management (FinOps), resource optimization, and AWS tagging strategies is particularly important, as these capabilities help drive cost transparency, governance, accountability, and operational efficiency across the platform.
