Operate and improve our orchestration systems (Dagster), ensuring jobs run reliably and are observable.
Evaluate and rationalize data tooling from Databricks and notebooks (Marimo, Jupyter) to BI/analytics platforms (Redash and alternatives) and guide Voltus toward a sustainable, coherent data platform.
Implement observability for data systems (logging, alerting, metrics) so issues are detected early and data quality is continuously monitored.
Champion data governance and documentation, making datasets well-defined, trustworthy, and easy to navigate.
Collaborate with analysts, data scientists, and platform engineers to ensure the infrastructure you build is intuitive, scalable, and solves real-world problems.
Lay the groundwork for advanced applications by making Voltus’ data reliably accessible via well-documented interfaces, positioning us to adapt to future ML and AI use cases.
