• Design and manage cloud-based data platforms (AWS)
• Develop robust ETL workflows for large-scale datasets
• Ensure data quality, validation, and observability across systems
• Implement data lineage, traceability, and reproducibility
• Collaborate closely with ML teams to support training and deployment workflows
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for data and ML systems

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience building production-grade data pipelines at scale
• Proficiency in Python and SQL
• Hands-on experience with AWS (S3, EC2, Lambda, etc.)
• Experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster)
• Background in data lakes or lakehouse architectures
• Experience working with large-scale unstructured data (video, images, sensors)
• Strong understanding of data quality, validation, and observability
