The Data Infrastructure team builds and operates the platform that powers data workloads across PayPay Group. We own the Databricks Lakehouse environment, the cloud infrastructure underneath it, and the tooling that keeps it running — from workspace provisioning and access governance to monitoring, alerting, and incident response. This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and data platform engineering. You'll design and build AWS infrastructure using Terraform, support Databricks workspace and account operations, and improve platform reliability through SRE practices. Day to day, that means writing IaC, responding to operational issues, shipping platform services, and working directly with data engineers across the group to keep their workloads running smoothly. We're looking for someone who can carry projects independently, thinks about systems beyond the ticket in front of them, and wants to go deeper on data infrastructure as a discipline. You don't need to know Databricks on day one — but you should be comfortable with AWS, Terraform, and the fundamentals of running production infrastructure.

About the role

We file this job under Data Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

Data engineers build and run the pipelines that copy data out of apps and outside services into a warehouse or lake, and fix them when a source changes or a load fails.

Expect SQL, Python, a cloud platform, a scheduler such as Airflow, and often tools for large data such as Spark or Kafka.

An analytics engineer works one step later, turning the raw data a data engineer lands into clean tables people can query.
