Job Description
The Opportunity
Our Technology Centers focus on creating a space where teams can come together to deliver business solutions that save and improve lives. An integral part of our company’s IT operating model, Tech Centers are globally distributed locations where each IT division has employees to enable our digital transformation journey and drive business outcomes. These locations, in addition to the other sites, are essential to supporting our business and strategy.
A focused group of leaders in each Tech Center helps to ensure we can manage and improve each location, from investing in growth, success, and well-being of our people, to making sure colleagues from each IT division feel a sense of belonging to managing critical emergencies. And together, we must leverage the strength of our team to collaborate globally to optimize connections and share best practices across the Tech Centers.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Engineer, to build, optimize, and scale our Starburst Trino platform. This is a hands-on platform engineering role where you'll evaluate new features, develop reusable components, drive cost and performance optimizations, build automation, and explore AI-assisted productivity improvements.
A key aspect of this role involves data virtualization — enabling seamless query access across diverse data sources without requiring data movement. You'll work with various source systems including data lakes, relational databases, cloud storage, APIs, and other enterprise data stores to deliver unified, performant query capabilities through the Starburst Trino platform.
You'll partner closely with engineers, architects, stakeholders, and vendor support to deliver scalable, reliable, and standards-based solutions. While Starburst Trino is the primary focus, you'll work within a broader ecosystem that includes platforms like dbt, Airflow, Databricks, and other data integration and compute tools. Adaptability and willingness to learn across technologies are essential.
