Job Summary

The Platform Analyst III is responsible for the design, enhancement, and operational reliability of the Enterprise Harmonization Platform (EHP), a mission-critical data platform supporting enterprise-wide account harmonization and downstream analytics. This role owns end-to-end platform execution—from backend data processing and orchestration to search/indexing and user-facing features—and serves as the technical lead coordinating across engineering, analytics, and data stewardship teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain enhancements to the Enterprise Harmonization Platform, built on Apache Solr, Java-based processing libraries, SQL-driven data transformations, and Jenkins-orchestrated pipelines.
• Develop and optimize backend data processing logic using Java and SQL, including configurable libraries supporting large-scale data harmonization workflows.

• Own execution of scheduled and ad-hoc data processing jobs, including job initiation, monitoring, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of failures.
• Ensure platform stability, data integrity, and performance across dependent pipelines and integrations.

• Act as the technical lead for EHP-related development, coordinating with internal engineering and analytics teams when platform changes affect upstream or downstream pipelines.
• Translate platform constraints and opportunities into actionable technical solutions.

• Partner with data stewards to gather and translate functional requirements into technical deliverables, including:
  • UI features and workflow enhancements
  • SQL database views and data access layers
  • Enhanced data processing and validation logic

• Explore and prototype LLM-based agents and intelligent automation to enhance platform operations and data stewardship workflows.

• Communicate technical status and roadmap implications to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in software engineering or data platform engineering roles.
• Strong proficiency in Java and SQL in production data systems.
• Proven ability to operate and troubleshoot complex data pipelines end-to-end.
• Experience working directly with business or data users to translate requirements into technical solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with job orchestration tools (e.g., Jenkins or equivalent).
• Experience building and supporting search- or index-based systems (e.g., Solr, Elasticsearch, Lucene).
• Experience with enterprise data platforms, master data management, or data harmonization systems.
• Exposure to LLM-based automation, agent design, or applied AI in data workflows.
• Familiarity with CI/CD practices and operational monitoring.
