Design and optimize schemas, queries, and performance for Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL.

Platform Reliability, Performance & Cost

Share ownership of platform reliability, scalability, and performance with other technical leaders.
Identify and resolve bottlenecks in Spark jobs, streaming consumers, and database workloads.
Ensure robust error handling, retries, idempotency, and recovery strategies.
Partner with cloud/platform teams on cost optimization, capacity planning, and infrastructure improvements.

Data Quality & Trust

Partner closely with Data Quality Engineers and peer technical leaders to ensure quality validations are embedded throughout pipelines.
Ensure pipelines support reconciliation, auditability, and observability.
Enforce data freshness, completeness, and accuracy SLAs for downstream consumers, including Qlik.

Mentorship & Team Enablement

Mentor data engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and technical coaching.
Collaborate with other technical leaders to raise the overall engineering maturity of the team.
Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and skills development efforts.
Promote knowledge sharing through documentation, demos, and internal forums.

Stakeholder & Cross-Team Engagement

Work closely with analytics, BI, & business partners to translate requirements into scalable data solutions.
Partner with BI teams to ensure curated datasets are analytics-ready for Qlik.
Communicate technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs clearly and collaboratively.

Required Qualifications:

8+ years of experience in data engineering or backend data platform development.
3+ years in a senior or technical leadership role with shared architectural ownership.

Experience with Kafka and streaming architectures.
Hands-on experience implementing and supporting AWS DMS Batch and CDC pipelines.
Advanced SQL skills and experience with Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL.
