Within Data Operations, the Data Platform team owns and evolves the technical foundation that powers all data across Deezer — ingesting hundreds of millions of streaming events per day into the data lake, transforming and curating this data at scale, and making it reliably available for internal consumers (royalties calculation, content reporting, analytics, recommendation, and beyond).

- Own monitoring and alerting of the Platform's pipelines and budget
- Work hand-in-hand with stakeholders (Business Analysts, Royalties team, ML Engineers) to understand their needs and deliver fit-for-purpose solutions
- Participate in agile ceremonies: quarter planning, sprint planning, daily standups and retrospectives
