# Senior Data Platform Engineer

> Makro PRO · Nawamin Road, Thailand (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-07-02

**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** Technology

## Description

The Senior Data Platform Engineer builds the platform-services layer that turns the enterprise data platform into a product — API Gateway baseline, knowledge graph, event stream, semantic layer, data-product catalogue, vector search, anti-corruption-layer patterns, and the Python / TypeScript SDK framework that internal product teams consume. This is a senior software-engineering role focused on shipping platform capability with API contracts, SDKs, and governance baked in.

### **Key Responsibilities**

-   Design, build, and operate the platform API Gateway baseline — authentication, rate limiting, observability, versioning, contract tests, deprecation policy.
-   Build and operate the Knowledge Graph platform — schema design, ingestion, query API, scaling, observability — exposed as a platform service to internal consumers.
-   Build and operate the Event Stream platform — domain-event topology, partitioning, schema registry, retention; integrate with downstream catalogue and KG.
-   Build and operate the Semantic Layer service — business-meaningful query API on top of the lakehouse, consumed by internal product teams and AI agents.
-   Build and maintain the Data Product Catalogue — data-product registration, freshness SLOs, schema contracts, governance hooks at publish time.
-   Build and operate the Vector Search Service infrastructure (pgvector, Milvus, Qdrant, or comparable) — index, scaling, observability — partnered with AI engineering on embedding model selection and retrieval relevance.
-   Author and maintain the Anti-Corruption-Layer Patterns Library — reusable patterns for legacy system integration (Oracle, SAP, WMS) via events and ACL only; never direct DB writes.
-   Build and maintain the Python and TypeScript SDK framework — consumed by product teams and AI engineering for all platform-service calls.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
-   8+ years software engineering with production ownership of platform services at multi-team scale.
-   Strong Python (production services, async, observability) and TypeScript at senior level.
-   API-first design discipline — OpenAPI 3.1, REST, gRPC; versioning, semver, deprecation policies, contract tests.
-   Production experience with at least one of: knowledge graphs (Neo4j, Neptune, TigerGraph), event streaming (Kafka, Event Hubs), or vector databases (pgvector, Milvus, Qdrant).
-   Distributed systems fundamentals — concurrency, message queues, idempotency, observability, performance.
-   SDK / client library design for multi-language consumption; semver, breaking-change policy, documentation discipline.
-   Cloud + Databricks (or equivalent lakehouse) production experience; Azure preferred.

### **Preferred Qualifications**

-   Production knowledge-graph experience at scale (multi-million entities); semantic layer / data products in production.
-   Multi-language SDK design across Python and TypeScript / Java; OSS library maintenance.
-   Retail / commerce data integration — Oracle (RMS, RPM, PMS, SIM), SAP, WMS; strangler-fig patterns.
-   Vendor certifications such as Databricks Data Engineer Professional, Azure Solutions Architect, or comparable.
