Unity Aura is a large-scale content discovery platform used across 330M devices worldwide.

‍

Our mission is to help users find and access their favorite content in a simple and easy way.

You’ll take a leading role in shaping our data infrastructure, setting clear architectural standards for AI/ML workloads and influencing decisions across data and engineering teams.

‍

The focus is on building a smooth, self-service developer experience while improving pipeline reliability and day-to-day productivity for data engineers. You’ll work closely with DevOps, Data Engineering, and ML Ops to align on infrastructure-as-code and orchestration practices, covering the full DataOps stack from pipelines to AI/ML infrastructure.

‍

The role offers room to grow as a senior infrastructure engineer, with your work directly translating into scalable analytics and measurable business impact.

• Design Data-Native Cloud Solutions: Design and implement scalable data infrastructure across multiple environments using Kubernetes, orchestration platforms, and IaC to power our AI, ML, and analytics ecosystem
• Define DataOps Technical Strategy: Shape the technical vision and roadmap for our data infrastructure capabilities, aligning DevOps, Data Engineering, and ML teams around common patterns and practices
• Accelerate Data Engineer Experience: Spearhead improvements to data pipeline deployment, monitoring tools, and self-service capabilities that empower data teams to deliver insights faster with higher reliability
• Engineer Robust Data Platforms: Build and optimize infrastructure that supports diverse data workloads from real-time streaming to batch processing, ensuring performance and cost-effectiveness for critical analytics systems
• Drive DataOps Excellence: Collaborate with engineering leaders across data teams, champion modern infrastructure practices, and mentor team members to elevate how we build, deploy, and operate data systems at scale

• 5+ years of hands-on DevOps experience building, shipping, and operating production systems
• Coding proficiency in at least one language (e.g., Python or TypeScript); able to build production-grade automation and tools.
• Cloud platforms: deep experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure (core services, networking, IAM)
• Kubernetes: strong end-to-end understanding of Kubernetes as a system (routing/networking, scaling, security, observability, upgrades), with proven experience integrating data-centric components (e.g., Kafka, RDS, BigQuery, Aerospike).
• Infrastructure as Code: design and implement infrastructure automation using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation (modular code, reusable patterns, pipeline integration)
• GitOps & CI/CD: practical experience implementing pipelines and advanced delivery using tools such as Argo CD / Argo Rollouts, GitHub Actions, or similar
• Observability: metrics, logs, and traces; actionable alerting and SLOs using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, OpenTelemetry, or similar

• Data Pipeline Orchestration: Demonstrated success building and optimizing data pipeline deployment using modern tools (Airflow, Prefect, Kubernetes operators) and implementing GitOps practices for data workloads
• Data Engineer Experience Focus: Track record of creating and improving self-service platforms, deployment tools, and monitoring solutions that measurably enhance data engineering team productivity
• Data Infrastructure Deep Knowledge: Extensive experience designing infrastructure for data-intensive workloads including streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis), data processing frameworks (Spark, Flink), storage solutions, and comprehensive observability systems
