Data Platform Architect

Overview

BitMEX is seeking a highly strategic and specialized Data Platform Architect to design, build, and maintain our next-generation, self-managed data platform within AWS. This critical role is centered on achieving digital sovereignty over our data assets by leading the implementation of a decentralized, Data Mesh-inspired architecture.

We are looking for an engineer who fundamentally avoids relying on black-box, vendor-managed, or proprietary platforms. You will architect and operate all core systems in-house, focusing on deploying and managing open-source data technologies to create a unified semantic layer. This role requires a strong preference for building and maintaining tailored open-source solutions to achieve end-to-end control—from infrastructure provisioning via Terraform to data consumption—directly enabling advanced analytical querying and cutting-edge AI agent applications.
