• Develop and maintain Terraform (or equivalent IaC) definitions for provisioning data infrastructure (compute, storage, permissions, networking where needed)
• Automate deployment of data transformations (e.g. dbt CI/CD, staging / production pipelines)
• Ensure data platform availability, reliability, security and performance (e.g. enforce roles & permissions in Snowflake, resource monitoring, concurrency/usage optimisation)
• Instrument monitoring, logging and alerting of data workflows (Airflow / Kubernetes / dbt jobs)
• Collaborate with Data Engineers / Analysts / Architects to define platform capabilities, set standards & best practices around schema design, governance, version control, and performance
• Run capacity planning, ensure cost-efficiency, scaling strategy (e.g. concurrency limits in Snowflake warehouse sizing, cluster autoscaling, etc)
• Facilitate onboarding of teams to the data platform: document usage patterns, create templates or utilities (for example dbt macros, shared libraries)
• Participate in architecture reviews, evaluate new platform tooling (e.g. enhancements to orchestration, transformation frameworks, security strategy, etc) 
• Troubleshoot critical incidents and participate in incident / post-mortem cycles for platform issues
