ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Senior Data Platform Automation Engineer engineers the automation, developer experience, and reliability layer of Danaher’s Enterprise Data Platform (Snowflake, Matillion, dbt, Airflow, Azure). This role treats the platform as code — delivering IaC, CI/CD, self-service golden paths, observability and auto-remediation, FinOps and compliance guardrails, and agentic AI operators using Azure AI Foundry and Anthropic Claude.
This position reports to the Director – Data Platform and Operations and is part of the Enterprise Data Engineering team located in United States (Remote) and will be fully remote.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to:
- Design, deploy, and manage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform/Pulumi for Snowflake, Azure, Matillion, and Airflow, including reusable golden-path modules, automated provisioning, drift detection, onboarding, access management, and self-service developer enablement through ServiceNow catalogs and “data product in a box” templates.
- Build and maintain enterprise CI/CD capabilities for Snowflake objects, dbt, Matillion, and Airflow using GitHub Actions/GitLab, incorporating automated testing, environment promotion, deployment governance, rollback capabilities, and platform standardization.
- Automate and optimize data platform operations through event-driven workflows, schema-drift detection, idempotent replay, backfill processing, controlled reprocessing, provisioning automation, and end-to-end operational reliability across the data ecosystem.
- Develop and implement AI-driven platform operations and developer enablement solutions using Azure AI Foundry, Anthropic Claude, LangGraph, and/or Semantic Kernel to support L1 incident triage, self-healing workflows, cost optimization, developer copilots, governance guardrails, and model evaluation frameworks.
- Establish platform observability, reliability, and operational excellence through unified telemetry, monitoring, SLO management, runbook-as-code practices, auto-remediation capabilities, and continuous reduction of mean time to resolution (MTTR) using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
The essential requirements of the job include:
- 7+ years in data engineering, DataOps, DevOps/SRE, or platform engineering, with 4+ years automating cloud data platforms.
- Hands-on across the modern data stack — Snowflake, Matillion, dbt, and Apache Airflow — with proven ability to automate ingestion, orchestration, and transformation.
- Proven IaC and CI/CD experience using Terraform or Pulumi and GitHub Actions or GitLab; strong Python skills.
- Hands-on with LLM/agent applications using Azure AI Foundry (Azure OpenAI, Prompt Flow), Snowflake Cortex, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or open-source frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen); familiar with RAG, tool calling, and multi-agent orchestration.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:
- Experience building Internal developer platforms, AI workflows, agents, data apps, chatbots.
- Certifications: AI-102, DP-203, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, or SnowPro Core/Advanced.
TRAVEL, MOTOR VEHICLE RECORD & PHYSICAL/ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS
- Ability to travel up to 10% domestically and occasionally internationally.
COMPENSATION
- The annual salary range for this role is $135,000 - $150,000. This is the range that we in good faith believe is the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting. This range may be modified in the future.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Data Platform Engineer
Frame your credentials around infrastructure, not analytics
TN visa classification for data platform roles hinges on the engineering side: pipeline architecture, distributed systems, and data warehouse design. Organize your degree transcripts and portfolio to foreground those elements before applying to any employer.
Target employers with recent visa filing experience
Companies with recent visa filings already understand the documentation requirements for international hiring and specialty occupations. Filtering for employers experienced with visa sponsorship narrows your list to companies prepared to navigate the TN visa process efficiently—from preparing support letters to coordinating your port of entry presentation or consulate appointment.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring employers fast
Searching for Data Platform Engineer roles at employers experienced with visa sponsorship is faster through Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers by recent visa filings and role type so you're not guessing which companies support work visa candidates.
Get the offer letter's job duties language right
CBP officers at the border review the employer's support letter, not just your degree. The duties section must map explicitly to systems analysis and data engineering, not broadly to 'data work.' Vague language is the most common reason TN requests are questioned.
Clarify Mexican applicants need consular processing
Canadian nationals can self-petition at the port of entry with no cap concerns. Mexican nationals must apply at a U.S. consulate and are subject to the annual TN allocation, so build consulate appointment lead time into your start-date negotiation with the employer.
Verify your degree field maps to Computer Systems Analyst
USCIS and CBP both look for a direct connection between your degree field and the role. Degrees in computer science, information systems, or software engineering align clearly. An unrelated degree, even with years of platform engineering experience, will require a more detailed credential evaluation.
Data Platform Engineer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Data Platform Engineer role qualify for a TN visa?
Yes, if the role is framed correctly. CBP classifies data platform engineering under the Computer Systems Analyst TN category, which covers professionals who design and implement data infrastructure, build pipelines, and manage distributed systems. The job offer must document those specific duties. Titles alone don't determine eligibility; the actual work description in the employer's support letter does.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Data Platform Engineers?
TN has no lottery and no annual cap for Canadian nationals, which means you can start work as soon as CBP approves your application at the port of entry, often the same day. H-1B visa requires entering a randomized lottery with no guarantee of selection. Mexican nationals do face a TN annual cap, but consular processing still avoids the lottery entirely. For most Canadian and Mexican data engineers, TN is the faster and more predictable path.
How do I find employers who will sponsor a TN visa for a Data Platform Engineer?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It filters job listings by visa type and role, surfacing employers with a history of supporting TN candidates. Because many companies that sponsor data engineering roles don't advertise that fact in job postings, a targeted search tool saves significant time compared to filtering general job listings manually.
What documentation do I need before a Canadian citizen can enter the U.S. as a TN Data Platform Engineer?
You need a signed employer support letter describing your specific duties and how they qualify under the Computer Systems Analyst category, proof of your qualifying degree, and your Canadian passport. You present these directly to CBP at a land border or pre-clearance location. There's no petition to file with USCIS in advance. Some applicants also bring a credential evaluation if their degree is from outside North America.
Can I switch employers after I start working on a TN visa?
Yes, but the process restarts. A TN visa is employer-specific, so changing jobs requires your new employer to prepare a fresh support letter and you to either obtain a new TN stamp at the border or file a change of employer with USCIS if you're already inside the U.S. There's no portability provision like H-1B has under AC21, so don't resign before the new TN is confirmed.
