Strong command of cloud infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), Kubernetes, and Python — you're comfortable owning

🧘 WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

If you join, you will be able to grow and impact on:

A pivotal moment for data at Alma — you'll join as the team transitions toward Platform, with a mandate to audit and reshape

the stack, not just maintain it.

End-to-end ownership — from architectural decisions on the PostgreSQL-to-GCP pipeline to enabling AI use cases with BigQuery,

this is a high-autonomy, high-visibility role.

Cross-functional leverage — your work will directly improve the productivity of a 20+ person data community and fuel better

decisions across the entire company.
