Job description
Software Consultant - Data Engineer responsible for designing, building, and operating secure, scalable data platforms and pipelines on AWS. This role enables reliable analytics by leveraging Python, SQL, Terraform, and CI/CD to deliver high-quality, cost-efficient data solutions.

About the role
You will own end-to-end data engineering: developing ETL/ELT pipelines, managing the AWS data stack, implementing infrastructure as code and DevSecOps practices, optimizing cost/performance, and partnering with stakeholders. Success is measured by meeting SLOs, improving data quality, efficient and reliable deployments, and a strong security posture.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and operate ETL/ELT pipelines in Python (Pandas) to meet SLOs for freshness, latency, and completeness.
• Write performant SQL for PostgreSQL and Trino; design and maintain dimensional models and curated datasets.
• Architect and optimize AWS data solutions (S3, Glue, Athena, etc.) for scalability, resiliency, performance, and cost.
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform; version, review, and automate provisioning and changes.
• Implement and optimize CI/CD on AWS for data code and IaC, including automated build, test, security scans, and releases.
• Embed security in the SDLC: secure coding, secrets management, least-privilege IAM, encryption, and vulnerability remediation.
• Troubleshoot complex data issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventive fixes and documentation.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on data engineering with Python, building and operating ETL/ELT pipelines; strong Pandas experience.
• Advanced SQL skills with PostgreSQL and Trino; experience with dimensional modeling.
• Proven experience with AWS data services, including S3, Glue, and Athena.
• Infrastructure as code experience with Terraform.
• CI/CD proficiency on AWS and a strong understanding of data engineering best practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to additional AWS services such as Lambda, Secrets Manager, RDS, DynamoDB, Lake Formation, DMS, and API Gateway.
• Security-first mindset with experience integrating security checks and vulnerability management into CI/CD.
• Familiarity with data visualization tools such as Superset (or similar).
• Experience working in Agile teams with a track record of shipping quality deliverables every sprint.
• Curiosity and drive to adopt new technologies, including AI-powered tools, to improve quality and delivery speed.

Our vision is to be the most loved company wherever we play.
