About the Role:

This role is for a Senior Dataiku Product Engineer to join our digital Trading Analytics (dTA) DevOps team. This team supports, maintains, and enhances the Dataiku platform and broader PowerBI and Plotly ecosystem for the Trading Analytics and Insights (TA&I) organization within the Trading and Shipping (T&S) Entity. You will be an advocate for the Dataiku Data Science Studio platform, ensuring it is effectively used for decision support in commodity trading. In this role, you will support hundreds of end-users across multiple environments and disciplines, maximising your deep knowledge of data science and statistical modeling within the DSS platform. Working closely with TA&I sponsors and Technology product owners, you will define, design, and implement the platform roadmap. This will involve balancing reliable daily operations with the need to explore and introduce new capabilities. Your expertise in platform engineering, data engineering, software engineering, capability analysis, design, and problem-solving will be essential. You will apply automation, CI/CD, and DevOps principles to the Dataiku platform and its ecosystem, helping our front-office trading organization fully apply the platform's potential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead platform operations and capability delivery as part of an agile DevOps team, owning the technical platform architecture.
• Define key platform and user metrics to pre-empt issues, manage costs, and ensure reliable operations.
• Collaborate with platform architects and product owners to assess new platform capabilities and create formal assessment and design documents.
• Work with product engineers to deliver high-quality platform solutions through their full lifecycle—from design to implementation.
• Partner with project managers and scrum leads to estimate, plan, and track results.
• Collaborate with the service delivery manager to establish operational processes, support major service incidents, and contribute to root cause analysis (RCA).
• Define the platform product roadmap with TA&I sponsors, dTA product managers, and architects for both functional and technical capabilities.
• Manage total cost of ownership (TCO) with a focus on cloud cost optimization.
• Engage with Dataiku to manage supplier relationships and influence the DSS product roadmap to meet TA&I requirements.
• Establish best practice standards for the platform, including version upgrades, deployment, hosting, availability, recovery, and operations. Be a champion for quality, reliability, repeatability, and cost-efficiency.
• Apply repeatable engineering principles through automation for all platform processes, ensuring all configurations are under source control with automated deployment and testing.
• Foster continuous improvement through agile retrospectives, RCAs, design reviews, metrics monitoring, and coaching junior team members. Use data to drive investment in platform automation.

Essential Experience:

• Proven experience as a Dataiku Data Science Studio Lead Product Engineer, managing enterprise DSS implementations with hundreds of users and multiple environments.
• Strong technical and functional expertise with the DSS product as both a data science/data engineering platform and in its configuration and automation via APIs.
• Experience in defining, designing, and leading the implementation of enterprise-level platform capabilities, including patching/upgrade strategies, regression testing, availability/recovery, security models, and data scalability.
• Proficiency in Python for platform automation, pandas for data engineering, and advanced SQL for data engineering and reporting.
• Expertise in defining standard processes for the platform, including monitoring for anti-patterns and ensuring robust ETL processes.
• Skilled in using Azure DevOps (or Jira) for agile practices, task management, and knowledge sharing.
• Proven leadership in producing formal designs, implementing those designs, and mentoring junior staff.
• Hands-on experience with scalable data technology (Databricks SQL Data Warehouse) and compute deployment/integration (AWS EKS) with Dataiku DSS.
• Comprehensive understanding of AWS services (EC2, EBS, RDS, S3, EKS) and their deployment, automation, and testing in enterprise environments.
• Expertise in the DevOps toolkit, including ADO, Git, Jenkins, Ansible, and Terraform, with a track record of using these tools for platform configuration management and CI/CD deployment.
• Strong foundation in Unix systems administration and shell scripting.

Essential Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
