Job Title : Platform Specialist

Location : Toronto, Canada

Duration: Long Term Contract

Role Summary

We are seeking a hands-on Platform Specialist to act as a centralized governance, control, and operational lead across the TDS Data Trust Platform portfolio. This role functions similarly to a Super TAO, providing oversight and execution across multiple data platform services including Data Masters, Data Quality, Market Data, Databricks, Kafka, and cloud platforms.

This is not a project management role. The successful candidate will develop deep expertise in our technology ecosystem, understand how our platforms operate, and directly deliver governance, audit, compliance, and operational outcomes. They will learn from platform SMEs, engineers, architects, and support teams, but will be expected to independently own execution and drive work through to completion.

Key Responsibilities

- Serve as the platform governance lead and Super TAO across the Data Trust Platform portfolio.
- Develop and maintain deep knowledge of platform architecture, technology assets, controls, dependencies, and operational processes.




- Own delivery of technology audit, regulatory, risk, and compliance requirements.
- Prepare and deliver audit evidence, remediation plans, control documentation, attestations, inventories, and audit responses.
- Analyze findings, determine required actions, engage appropriate SMEs, and independently drive issues to closure.
- Manage technology governance activities including vulnerabilities, access reviews, software currency, control testing, attestations, and operational controls.
- Produce executive reporting, dashboards, metrics, and status updates related to platform health, audit findings, risk, and compliance.
- Partner with engineering teams to improve platform controls, operational maturity, and automation.
- Contribute directly to platform modernization initiatives including Kubernetes adoption, cloud transformation, Databricks enablement, Kafka platform capabilities, and operational automation.
- Identify manual governance and reporting processes and implement scalable solutions.
