Senior Data Engineer

Turnberry Solutions is a consulting company that provides insights into company data and advanced analytics solutions. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will be responsible for building and deploying infrastructure, supporting production readiness, and producing comprehensive technical documentation.

Responsibilities:

• Infrastructure Build and Deployment
• Provision and administer Kubernetes clusters across AKS, GKE/GKS, and on-premises platforms
• Deploy Apigee Hybrid runtime components (Message Processor, Synchronizer, MART, Cassandra, etc.) on target Kubernetes environments
• Deploy Akamai Noname remote engines and connectors on AKS, GKS, and on-premises environments
• Establish and validate secure, outbound-only control plane connectivity from Hybrid runtimes to the centralized GCP Control Plane
• Configure Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, Private Link) and GCP networking to support multi-cloud traffic flows
• Author and maintain Terraform/Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules for repeatable, auditable deployments across all target environments
• Integration and Observability
• Integrate Apigee Hybrid and Akamai telemetry with enterprise observability platforms
• Integrate security event data with enterprise SIEM platforms
• Implement asynchronous, non-blocking telemetry patterns to avoid performance impact on runtime traffic
• Support integration with enterprise CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and configuration changes
• Operational Support and Stabilization
• Support production readiness reviews, stabilization, and go-live activities aligned to Akamai milestone dependencies
• Participate in incident response, runtime upgrades, and capacity management during transitional operations
• Monitor and maintain multi-cloud infrastructure health across GCP, Azure, and on-premises
• Knowledge Transfer and Documentation
• Produce comprehensive technical documentation: runbooks, SOPs, architecture diagrams, and points-of-contact references
• Participate in on-call and joint operational support during transition
• Governance and Collaboration
• Navigate client governance, change management, and approval processes for infrastructure changes
• Collaborate with the external Apigee Hybrid implementation partner during joint delivery activities
• Coordinate with Akamai implementation teams to ensure infrastructure readiness gates are met on schedule

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, related field, or equivalent 5+ years of experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience programming in SQL
• 3+ years of experience building and maintaining automated data pipelines and data assets using batch and/or streaming processes
• 3+ years hands-on experience administering Kubernetes clusters (AKS required; GKE/GKS and on-premises Kubernetes strongly preferred)
• Experience with node pool management, namespace isolation, resource quotas, RBAC, and cluster upgrades
• Familiarity with Helm charts, Kubernetes operators, and custom resource definitions (CRDs) used in platform-level product deployments
• Hands-on experience administering Google Cloud Platform environments (Cloud SQL, BigQuery, IAM, networking)
• Hands-on experience administering Azure cloud environments — specifically Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, Private Link), and Azure IAM/RBAC
• Multi-cloud infrastructure experience — ability to manage parallel environments across GCP and Azure with consistent IaC patterns and governance
• Proficiency with Terraform or equivalent IaC tooling for multi-cloud deployments
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Cloud Build)
• Experience with or exposure to Apigee Hybrid architecture — understanding of the split between centralized control plane (GCP-hosted) and customer-managed Hybrid runtimes
• Understanding of outbound-only control plane connectivity models and the networking requirements to support them
• Experience with or understanding of edge platform integration (Akamai preferred; Cloudflare or similar acceptable) — specifically edge routing, DDoS protection, and WAF enforcement
• Familiarity with Akamai connector/remote engine deployment models and how edge security layers interact with downstream API gateways
• Understanding of traffic flow architecture where edge platforms are authoritative entry points and API gateways enforce policy only
• Experience integrating infrastructure and application telemetry with enterprise observability platforms
• Experience integrating with SIEM platforms for security event correlation
• Understanding of asynchronous, non-blocking telemetry patterns
• Understanding of security fundamentals, access provisioning, and Zero-Trust security principles
• Enables others: Navigate complex access processes and clears paths for the team
• Self-directed problem solving: Identify the right contacts and required approvals
• Milestone-driven delivery mindset: Comfortable working within tight, dependency-driven timelines where infrastructure readiness gates downstream partner deliverables
• Cross-environment operational awareness: Ability to manage and troubleshoot infrastructure spanning cloud (GCP, Azure) and on-premises environments simultaneously
• Platform exploration: Stay current on GCP/Azure evolution; evaluate new services and capabilities
• Automation mindset: Seek to reduce manual configuration and approval friction
• Proactively identify bottlenecks in environment setup and propose solutions
• Produce technical documentation (runbooks, procedures, points of contact) for completed infrastructure
• Bring awareness of new platform capabilities that could accelerate delivery
• Take initiative to streamline repetitive access/provisioning tasks
• Edge-to-gateway security architecture awareness: Understand that security enforcement is layered — edge handles routing/DDoS/WAF while the API gateway handles API-level policy — and can configure infrastructure to support this separation
• Partner engagement skills: Able to work effectively alongside an external implementation partner, including joint troubleshooting, shared environments, and coordinated change management
• Knowledge transfer readiness: Willingness and ability to participate in a shadow → lead → own model as both learner and teacher
• Ability to clearly document and explain proposed changes to navigate governance and approval processes
• Prior experience working in healthcare or similarly regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2)
• Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect or Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification
• Microsoft Azure AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) or AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect) certification
• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)
• Experience with Apigee Hybrid installation, configuration, and operations
• Experience deploying or managing Akamai Noname (API security) remote engines
• Familiarity with GitOps patterns (ArgoCD, Flux) for Kubernetes-based deployments
• Experience with Anthos, Rancher, or OpenShift for on-premises Kubernetes
