Job Description
A cutting-edge automation company is hiring a Lead Data Platform Engineer to help power the next generation of intelligent warehouse and distribution center technologies. The organization develops advanced robotic solutions that automate storage, retrieval, sorting, and fulfillment operations for some of the largest supply chain and retail networks in the world. Through a combination of robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and large-scale software systems, the company is transforming how products move through modern logistics environments.
As a Lead Data Platform Engineer, you will focus on building the foundational data infrastructure that supports enterprise-scale robotic operations. Unlike a traditional data engineering role centered on reporting and analytics, this position is responsible for developing the platforms that enable operational intelligence, system optimization, fleet orchestration, and AI-driven decision-making across thousands of interconnected robotic assets.
You will work closely with software engineers, controls engineers, robotics specialists, machine learning teams, and product leaders to architect highly available data systems capable of handling enormous volumes of operational data. The ideal candidate is passionate about distributed systems, platform engineering, and building reliable data services that serve both real-time and analytical workloads. This role offers the opportunity to shape technical strategy while remaining deeply involved in hands-on engineering.

Strong experience building large-scale distributed data platforms
Advanced proficiency with Python, Java, or Scala
Deep knowledge of data architecture and systems design
Experience with Kafka, Spark, Flink, or similar distributed processing technologies
Experience with cloud-native architectures in AWS, Azure, or GCP

Understanding of event-driven architectures
Desired Skills & Experience
6+ years of Data Engineering or Platform Engineering experience
Experience supporting robotics, manufacturing, industrial automation, or IoT environments
Familiarity with machine learning infrastructure and feature engineering platforms
Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native services
Knowledge of operational analytics and industrial telemetry systems
Experience leading technical projects and mentoring engineers
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field
Experience working in fast-growing technology organizations

Partner with robotics and software teams to define data collection and integration standards
Improve performance, reliability, and scalability of mission-critical data systems
Build tools that enable real-time visibility into warehouse and automation operations
Develop frameworks for operational metrics, system health monitoring, and platform observability
