CPT Data Platform Engineer Jobs
Data Platform Engineer roles involve designing and maintaining large-scale data infrastructure, which maps directly to graduate programs in computer science, data engineering, and information systems. CPT authorization requires your DSO to confirm the work is an integral part of your curriculum, so securing a role with clear technical responsibilities strengthens that case.

Position Overview:
The Lead Data Engineer turns business and domain needs into secure, observable, reusable, and documented pipelines. The role combines hands-on technical leadership, portfolio delivery, consultant coordination, engineering standards, and stakeholder engagement in a regulated bank.
Key Responsibilities:
Portfolio & Delivery Leadership
- Own integrated delivery for 4-6 concurrent projects, balancing priorities, dependencies, capacity, risks, and production commitments, working under a scaled agile framework.
- Turn transformation needs into technical scope, milestones, acceptance criteria, and measurable outcomes.
- Provide portfolio visibility through dashboards, risk logs, dependency tracking, and escalation.
- Ensure releases meet change, security, testing, documentation, and production-readiness requirements.
Team & Consultant Coordination
- Direct an 8-12 person consultant team through work allocation, onboarding, delivery follow-up, and quality review.
- Set an accountable rhythm with backlog refinement, design and code reviews, stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives.
- Build capability through reusable patterns, playbooks, pairing, coaching, and knowledge transfer.
- Partner with vendor and bank leaders to manage capacity, capability, performance, continuity, and key-person risks.
Governed Pipeline Engineering
- Lead governed batch and data product-driven pipelines across banking domains, from ingestion to consumption.
- Embed ownership, metadata, lineage, classification, access, retention, quality, reconciliation, monitoring, alerts, and audit evidence.
- Standardize reusable templates, naming, testing, runbooks, and delivery controls.
- Handle sensitive and regulated data under approved security, privacy, and least-privilege controls.
On-Premises Platform Execution
- Guide solutions using NiFi for ingestion, Airflow for orchestration, dbt for transformation and testing, and SQL for processing and validation.
- Improve pipeline stability through modular design, automated tests, version control, disciplined deployment, observability, and incident follow-up.
- Prioritize technical debt by business criticality, operational risk, migration value, and delivery impact.
Cloud Transition & Re-Engineering
- Follow the AWS and Databricks operating model in line with architecture, security, governance, networking, and compliance standards.
- Lead cloud-native pipeline delivery and phased re-engineering of on-premises pipelines.
- Redesign and remodeling instead of lifting and shifting when it improves scale, reliability, cost transparency, reuse, lineage, or supportability.
- Define migration waves, readiness, parallel runs, reconciliation, cutover, rollback, and decommissioning.
Stakeholder & Domain Partnership
- Align delivery with business and data owners, stewards, architects, security, infrastructure, risk, compliance, and operations.
- Lead cross-domain requirements and design discussions, resolving ambiguity and clarifying trade-offs.

- Experience in regulated financial services or another control-intensive environment.
- Strong English communication, planning, problem-solving, and stakeholder management; Portuguese or Spanish is a plus.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Databricks Workflows, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and cloud observability.
- Knowledge of AWS data-platform services, including S3, IAM, KMS, CloudWatch, and private networking.

Get Access To All JobsData Platform Engineer CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Data Platform Engineer internship qualify for CPT?
Yes, if the role is an integral part of your program of study and your DSO authorizes it. Data platform engineering work, covering tasks like building data pipelines, managing cloud storage systems, and orchestrating workflows, aligns clearly with graduate programs in computer science, data engineering, or information systems. Your offer letter must detail specific technical duties so your DSO can confirm the curriculum connection.
Can I work full-time as a Data Platform Engineer on CPT?
Full-time CPT, defined as 20 or more hours per week by USCIS, is permitted but affects your OPT eligibility. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT eliminates your OPT entirely, including STEM OPT. Part-time CPT, under 20 hours per week, does not count against OPT regardless of duration. Confirm the hours on your offer letter with your DSO before accepting a full-time role.
What technical skills make a CPT application stronger for this role?
DSOs look for a direct connection between your coursework and job duties. For data platform engineering, documented experience with distributed systems, cloud platforms such as AWS or Google Cloud, SQL and NoSQL databases, and workflow orchestration tools like Apache Airflow strengthens the curriculum link. Reference specific course titles and projects in your CPT request that match the technical scope of the role.
How do I find Data Platform Engineer employers familiar with CPT?
Search Migrate Mate to browse data platform engineering roles at employers with documented work authorization experience. Companies already enrolled in E-Verify and with prior F-1 hiring history tend to process CPT paperwork faster, since their HR teams understand the I-20 authorization step. Targeting those employers reduces the risk of offer rescissions caused by unfamiliarity with CPT timelines.
How does CPT as a Data Platform Engineer affect my future H-1B eligibility?
CPT itself does not affect H-1B visa eligibility, but the downstream OPT impact matters. If you exhaust full-time CPT beyond 12 months, you lose OPT, which is the primary bridge to H-1B sponsorship for most F-1 graduates. Keeping CPT part-time or completing it within one semester preserves your OPT and STEM OPT options, giving you up to three years of work authorization to pursue H-1B sponsorship through an employer.
