Senior AtScale Platform Engineer

Your Role

In this pivotal role, you will own the reliable, secure, and efficient operation of a globally deployed semantic analytics platform that sits at the heart of enterprise data access and business intelligence. You will drive day-to-day platform operations across production and non-production environments, deliver second- and third-level incident resolution, and own configuration, release, and access governance, while actively shaping the governance framework as it is established. Working across global data, cloud, security, and BI teams, you will ensure the platform remains stable, well monitored, and continuously improving.

Who You Are

You bring at least three years of professional experience in data engineering, platform engineering, analytics, or business intelligence, with hands on experience operating AtScale or a comparable semantic layer or analytics platform.

You have solid experience in platform administration, including incident management, release management, environment configuration, and technical support.

You are proficient in SQL, including complex query writing, and have a strong understanding of modern data and BI architecture.

You have practical experience with Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse, and with AWS services including networking, access management, and monitoring.

You have supported BI and analytics tools such as Power BI or Tableau, and are comfortable with automation, scripting, CI/CD practices, and infrastructure as code approaches.

You are structured and analytical in your approach to troubleshooting, with a solid awareness of data security, access management, governance, and operational resilience.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
