In your first months, you will focus on well-scoped build work — auditing components, IaC definitions, secrets management integrations — working closely with the Platform Architect and CPE leadership on every decision. All platform decisions are made collaboratively; nothing ships without alignment from the PA and CPE leadership. As you build familiarity with the DataXstream platform, its engineering standards, and the downstream impact of changes, your scope of ownership expands. The path is from contributor to platform engineer — and the team is invested in getting you there. Cross-Coverage Responsibilities DataXstream is committed to eliminating single points of failure across the CPE team. This role is expected to develop working knowledge of the Customer Delivery Engineer's domain sufficient to provide continuity during absence.
