• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve reporting, analytics, and product features as we move from the migration phase to the feature development phase.
• Maintain and optimise the data pipeline, ensuring efficient storage and processing of events using technologies such as Iceberg, Athena, OpenSearch, dbt, Glue, & more.
• Provide support and guidance in the design and maintenance of data architectures and databases.

What We’re Looking For:

• Continuous integration and delivery mindset. You like taking ownership of your projects and have a healthy curiosity to learn more.

• Strong expertise in data pipeline management with tools and technologies such as:

  • API Gateway, OpenAPI specifications
  • Kinesis (Firehose/Streams)
  • AWS Lambda (primarily Python-based)
  • S3 storage (Apache Iceberg/Athena)
  • CDK/CloudFormation (or other IAC)
  • NodeJS (Typescript)
  • DataLake/LakeFormation, dbt, Glue Data Catalog, etc.

• Experience in:

  • Event ingestion, processing, and storage technologies
  • Managing data quality and working with large-scale event-driven systems
