Join our Data Platform team at 10x Genomics to architect and implement our strategic Unified Data Platform (UDP). This pivotal role is focused on modernizing our data infrastructure, transitioning to a scalable Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), and building the foundation for next-generation AI/ML and self-service analytics.
- Lead the architecture and delivery of the Single Source of Truth (SSOT) for the 10x Intelligent Data Ecosystem.
- Apply advanced software engineering practices to data systems for scalability and reliability.
- Provide hands-on Senior Data Engineering leadership in developing scalable and maintainable ETL/ELT solutions and data systems in a cloud-native environment.
- Drive the systematic reduction of critical technical debt by retiring fragile legacy middleware (e.g., Boomi).
- Partner with engineering and business teams to enable advanced AI capabilities and democratize data access via Natural Language Querying (NLQ).
What you will be doing
- Architect and implement the canonical data layer and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) using technologies like Apache Iceberg and Kafka to decouple applications and ensure real-time data flow.
- Design, build, and optimize high-volume, code-first data pipelines (real-time and batch) across a large application landscape (e.g., Salesforce, Oracle, Workday).
- Establish Amazon S3 as the Single Source of Truth (SSOT) and govern data using principles like the Medallion Architecture (Silver and Gold layers) and schema evolution.
- Develop, test, and maintain robust and scalable ELT pipelines and data models in Snowflake, including leveraging advanced features like Snowpipes, Streams, and Stored Procedures.
- Develop the data presentation layer for self-service analytics, including the Natural Language Query (NLQ) interface integrated with Generative AI (e.g., Bedrock).
- Lead technical efforts to migrate key business domains off legacy middleware and onto the new platform, eliminating the "Integration Bottleneck".
- Define and enforce data governance, quality, and security standards across the Unified Data Platform.
- Collaborate with the Architecture Review Board (ARB) to promote modern approaches such as serverless computing and Domain-Driven Design.
- Take ownership of the full development lifecycle, from prototyping and design through deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Management, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering focused on data platform development, distributed systems, or enterprise integrations.
- Proven experience designing and implementing highly scalable data platforms on major cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Deep proficiency in one or more general-purpose programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, or similar).
- Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and system design.
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Expertise in message queues and event streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub) and implementing Event-Driven Architecture.
- Experience with building data lakes/lakehouses using open formats like Apache Iceberg on cloud storage (e.g., Amazon S3).
- Expertise in modern ELT development, data modeling for OLAP/data warehousing using tools like dbt, and advanced Snowflake features (e.g., Snowpipes, Streams, Stored Procedures).
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles.
- Prior experience in migrating an organization off a traditional iPaaS platform or eliminating legacy middleware.
- Experience with Generative AI integration for data access (e.g., NLQ, feature stores).
Core Technologies
- Snowflake
- Python (or Java/Scala)
- Event Streaming (Kafka or similar)
- AWS (or other major cloud platform)
- Apache Iceberg / Amazon S3
- Advanced SQL (including stored procedures, UDFs/UDTFs)
- Modern Orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Platform Engineer
Frame your resume around SOC-aligned titles
TN adjudicators evaluate job duties against the Computer Systems Analyst definition. Use titles and language that map to systems analysis, infrastructure design, or platform architecture rather than generic engineering labels that blur the qualifying category.
Request a duties letter before accepting offers
Ask your prospective employer to draft the TN support letter during negotiations, not after signing. A vague or inaccurate duties letter is the leading cause of port-of-entry denials for platform roles, and fixing it delays your start date.
Target employers with active cloud infrastructure teams
Companies running Kubernetes, Terraform, or multi-cloud environments have established platform engineering functions and understand what the role involves. That internal clarity translates directly into accurate TN documentation that holds up at the border or consulate.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified TN sponsoring employers
Search Migrate Mate to filter Platform Engineer openings by employers with recent visa filings and work visa sponsorship experience. Starting your search there cuts the time spent vetting companies that won't sponsor and surfaces roles where visa sponsorship processes are already familiar to HR.
Prepare credential equivalency proof for Mexican applicants
Mexican nationals applying at a U.S. consulate must submit educational credentials alongside the support letter. If your degree is from a Mexican institution, get a credential evaluation completed in advance so the consular officer can confirm it meets the bachelor's-level requirement.
Understand how employer E-Verify enrollment affects your status
If your employer is E-Verify enrolled, your work authorization is confirmed electronically and discrepancies surface quickly. Confirm enrollment status before your first day so you and your employer can resolve any I-9 issues before they create a compliance gap.

Find Platform Engineer JobsPlatform Engineer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Platform Engineer role qualify for a TN visa?
Platform Engineer positions qualify under the USMCA's Computer Systems Analyst category when the role centers on designing, implementing, or maintaining cloud infrastructure, automation pipelines, or platform tooling. The job duties in your employer's support letter must clearly reflect systems analysis work. Roles where the primary function is software development rather than infrastructure may face more scrutiny from a CBP officer or consular official.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Platform Engineer jobs?
TN has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can start as soon as your employer prepares the support letter and you're approved at the port of entry or consulate. H-1B requires entering a lottery with roughly a one-in-four selection rate and a months-long wait even after selection. For Platform Engineers who already have a Canadian or Mexican passport, TN is a significantly faster and more predictable path into U.S. employment.
Where can I find Platform Engineer jobs that offer TN sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you filter job listings specifically for employers with TN visa sponsorship history, which removes the guesswork of cold-applying to companies that won't support the process. Searching by role and visa type together gets you directly to openings where HR already understands TN documentation requirements for technical positions like Platform Engineer.
Can a Canadian Platform Engineer apply for TN status at the border?
Yes. Canadian citizens are exempt from the consular interview requirement and can apply for TN status directly at a U.S. port of entry or pre-clearance location. You'll present your employer's support letter, proof of Canadian citizenship, and your educational credentials. CBP officers adjudicate TN petitions on the spot, so approval and entry can happen the same day if your documentation is complete and accurate.
What documentation does my employer need to prepare for TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a signed support letter on company letterhead that specifies your job title, a description of daily duties tied to the Computer Systems Analyst category, the anticipated duration of employment, and your qualifications for the role. USCIS does not need to approve TN status for Canadians, but Mexican nationals submit the letter as part of their DS-160 consular package. A poorly drafted letter that omits duty specifics or uses an unrecognized job title is the most common filing problem for platform roles.
