Deliver SDKs, CLIs, and templates that standardize how teams build reliable data products; enable CI/CD for data and contract testing.
Work across AWS (S3, EMR/EKS, Glue/Athena, Lambda, Kinesis/MSK) with IaC (Terraform) and strong observability (Datadog/CloudWatch).
Requirements
8+ years building backend/platform software with Python/Scala/Java and strong SQL; proven track record designing distributed systems.
Deep experience with Spark (Databricks or EMR/EKS) and AWS data services; solid grasp of scheduler/executor behavior and performance tradeoffs.
