• Help establish cloud engineering standards for infrastructure automation, release management, and environment promotion using tools and services such as AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, and infrastructure automation frameworks.

• Drive operational rigor across production data pipelines, including observability, logging, telemetry, support models, service ownership, and incident management.

Collaboration, Governance, and Platform Standards

• Partner effectively with global platform, architecture, governance, security, Databricks-aligned, and data mastering teams to ensure delivery aligns with enterprise standards.

• Act as a technical bridge between platform strategy and engineering execution.

• Support governance requirements through appropriate controls around:

• Data lineage

• Schema consistency

• Data quality

• Metadata

• Retention

• Access control

• Encryption

• Proven ability to drive technical initiatives and influence engineering outcomes in a complex, execution-focused environment.

• Experience partnering with global or distributed teams to deliver platform and pipeline initiatives across time zones.

Technical Expertise

• Strong hands-on experience with modern data engineering and pipeline development, including batch and/or streaming data workflows.

• Experience working with Databricks-based data platforms and supporting migration or transition of pipelines into a lakehouse-oriented architecture.

• Strong familiarity with AWS cloud-native data engineering, including services such as Amazon S3, AWS Glue, AWS Lambda, AWS Lake Formation, Amazon Kinesis, AWS IAM, and AWS-native monitoring, logging, and security capabilities.

• Working knowledge of technologies and concepts such as Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, Databricks Unity Catalog, metadata-driven pipelines, data lake governance, lakehouse architecture, and catalog-driven processing.

• Experience supporting data integration patterns involving mastering, MDM, reference data, market data, investment data, risk data, or trusted data distribution workflows.

• Solid understanding of data quality, schema management, lineage, metadata, access control, encryption, and operational support for production data pipelines.

• Experience with AWS IAM, data lake governance, policy-based access controls, and secure platform operations.

• Familiarity with engineering best practices such as version control, automated testing, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, release management, and monitoring.

• Experience designing or implementing data platform observability and reliability practices, including alerting, monitoring, telemetry, operational dashboards, and production support procedures.

AI Tooling and LLM-Enabled Engineering

• Practical experience using AI tooling such as Claude, large language models, or similar AI-assisted development platforms in an engineering context.

• Experience applying LLMs to data engineering or software engineering workflows, including code generation, refactoring, test creation, documentation, debugging, troubleshooting, and pipeline analysis.

• Ability to use AI-assisted workflows to support Databricks, AWS data engineering, SQL, PySpark, pipeline migration, data quality analysis, and operational support activities.

• Ability to evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated code or recommendations before applying them to production-grade engineering work.

Collaboration and Execution

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively across US-based, offshore, and global teams.
