About the role

  • Hands-On Lead and mentor a high-performing data engineering team, fostering technical excellence and professional growth while ensuring delivery of scalable, modern data solutions aligned with business priorities.
  • Partner with the CDO team and data product leaders to define and execute the vision for an AWS-based data platform that enables enterprise-wide self-service, unlocking data for AI, analytics, and innovation.
  • Drive architectural decisions and establish best practices for data ingestion, transformation, and distribution frameworks that accelerate time-to-insight for data producers and consumers.
  • Champion adoption of emerging technologies such as Agentic AI and Generative AI, integrating advanced capabilities into data workflows to enhance user experience and position the organization as “AI-Ready.”
  • Ensure operational excellence and reliability by proactively addressing complex data engineering challenges, implementing robust quality controls, and preventing production incidents.

Requirements

  • 7-10 years’ experience, hands-on, leading highly technical data-centric software engineers, preferably in financial services, in support of Data Lake houses (e.g. AWS, Databricks, Snowflake), data virtualization solutions (e.g. Starburst), modern data catalogs & data quality capabilities (e.g. Collibra), and Master Data Management (e.g. Informatica).
  • Proven AWS expertise (S3, EKS, Lambda, Glue, EMR, Redshift, S3, RDS/Aurora, Valkey/Redis, Step Functions, MSK/Kafka, Event Bridge).
  • AWS Certification strongly preferred.
  • Experience applying AI/ML to boost engineering productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q).

  • Design and build high-performance REST/GraphQL APIs with optimized query patterns, pagination, caching, and schema design to ensure low-latency, performant reads at scale.
  • Build ETL/ELT pipelines for batch and streaming; Kafka/MSK with schemas (Avro/JSON) and delivery semantics.
  • Optimize performance of object-based and relational datastores.
  • Design applications with microservices and a containerization mindset with ‘decoupling’ architectural principles.
  • Caching with Valkey/Redis: TTL strategies, invalidation, key design.
  • CI/CD and IaC with GitHub, Git/GitHub workflows, ArgoCD.
  • Security and reliability: IAM, KMS, secrets, VPC networking, observability (OpenTelemetry), SLOs, cost governance.
  • Ability to solve complex data-driven requirements and triage towards defects and production bugs.
  • Technology solutions and tools, including data governance and catalog solutions (e.g., Collibra, Alation, data platform and lake(house) (i.e., medallion’s architecture), and data mesh and virtualization tools (e.g., Starburst, Denodo).
  • Experience in leading the evaluation of new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency. (“Buy” vs “Build”).
