Lead the design, implementation, and continuous evolution of Data Lakehouse architectures using AWS services and open table formats
Develop and operate large-scale data processing solutions using Apache Spark on AWS EMR

Implement and maintain cloud-native data lakes using AWS Glue, Apache Iceberg, Parquet, and object storage technologies
Enable analytical and self-service access to data through Amazon Athena and support downstream reporting and analytics in Power BI
Define, improve, and govern data models, data contracts, engineering standards, and platform best practices
Review technical designs and code, mentor other engineers, and act as a trusted technical reference within the team
Collaborate closely with engineers, architects, product owners, and business stakeholders to drive data platform initiatives
Identify scalability, performance, operational, and data quality challenges and proactively implement improvements
Contribute to platform reliability through monitoring, operational support, CI/CD practices, and automation
Support modernization and migration initiatives from legacy Oracle and Sybase data warehouses to modern cloud-native platforms when required
What Makes You a Great Fit
Strong experience in data engineering within enterprise-scale environments
Advanced SQL skills and a solid understanding of analytical, dimensional, and data warehouse modeling concepts

Understanding of CI/CD practices, platform observability, monitoring, and operational support
Experience working with Oracle or Sybase-based data warehouse technologies is advantageous
Exposure to data platform modernization, migration, or transformation initiatives is considered a strong plus
Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving capabilities, and ability to evaluate systems from an end-to-end perspective
Ability to independently drive technical solutions and make well-reasoned engineering decisions
Confidence leading technical discussions with engineers, architects, and business stakeholders
A continuous learning mindset and genuine interest in emerging cloud, data, and lakehouse technologies
