You care about data quality, pipeline correctness, cost efficiency, and building things the next engineer can maintain and extend. 🎯 What You'll Do Design, build, and maintain data pipeline components spanning ingestion, streaming (Kinesis), storage (S3), and transformation (dbt, Glue). Lead or contribute to data transformation layer re-architecture a rare opportunity to shape how data flows across an entire suite. Build and maintain Glue ETL jobs and evolve dbt model layers (staging, intermediate, mart). Ensure pipeline correctness with exactly-once delivery, deduplication logic, and schema migration management. Implement data quality assertions and monitor pipeline health proactively. Partner closely with product managers, analysts, and customer success to translate needs into well-modeled dbt marts. 🔍 What We're Looking For Essential: • Strong hands-on experience building and operating production data pipelines ideally event-driven or streaming. • Solid SQL skills and meaningful dbt experience. • Familiarity with AWS data services: S3, Athena, Glue, Lambda, Kinesis, SQS, SNS, Opensearch. • Proficiency in Python or TypeScript/Node.js for pipeline code. • Experience with AWS CDK. • Strong instinct for data quality: you write tests and treat unvalidated data as a bug. • Clear communication about schema decisions and pipeline tradeoffs. 🛠️ Our Data Stack Runtime & Language: Node.js 24, TypeScript (ESM). Ingestion: Amazon API Gateway (Edge-optimised) → AWS Lambda → Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Storage: Amazon S3, OpenSearch. Transformation: AWS Glue, dbt on Athena (dbt-athena-community adapter).
