Position Overview

Proofpoint is seeking a DevOps and Data Engineer to join our Data Platform team. This is a hybrid role that sits at the intersection of platform engineering and data infrastructure-you will own the reliability, automation, and delivery of the systems that power Proofpoint's data pipelines and analytics capabilities. You will build and maintain the cloud infrastructure (AWS-first), CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps tooling that enable data engineering teams to ship high-quality data products faster and more safely.

What You'll Do

- Implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent) for automated testing, deployment,



and promotion of AWS Glue ETL jobs, Athena views, and related data infrastructure.
- Build and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform and/or AWS CDK)-covering S3 buckets, IAM roles, Glue resources, Athena workgroups, Lake Formation permissions, VPCs, and supporting services.
- Own the observability stack for data pipelines: define and instrument metrics, logs, and alerts to ensure SLA compliance and fast incident response.
- Manage container and compute infrastructure (Docker, ECS/EKS, or Lambda) used to support data ingestion microservices and orchestration workers.
- Build and maintain AWS Glue ETL jobs (PySpark) for large-scale data ingestion and transformation across the data lake on S3.
- Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, and security teams to translate requirements into scalable, automated infrastructure solutions.

What You Bring to the Team

- Required
- 2+ years of professional experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability engineering, with at least 2 years of hands-on data engineering work.
- Expertise with AWS core services: S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, Lambda, ECS/EKS, Secrets Manager, and CloudFormation/CDK.




- Hands-on experience with AWS data services: Glue (ETL jobs, Crawlers, Data Catalog), Athena (workgroup management, query tuning, federated queries), and S3 (lifecycle, encryption, event notifications).
- Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools-Terraform and/or AWS CDK-for managing production cloud environments.
- Strong CI/CD experience: designing and maintaining pipelines in GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent.
- Experience with container technologies (Docker) and container orchestration (Amazon ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes).

Nice to Have

- Knowledge of data quality frameworks and experience integrating them into CI/CD.
- Familiarity with open table formats and lakehouse patterns.
- Background in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or security-data analytics environments.
- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional, AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate, or AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
- Experience with cost optimization tooling.
