Systems Engineers

We are looking for a Senior Technical Lead who combines hands-on engineering excellence with strong leadership and stakeholder management. You will own the end-to-end technical delivery of data platforms and pipelines built in AWS-with a focus on AWS Glue, Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA), and Python-and collaborate closely with Directors, Senior Architects, and Program Leadership to deliver business outcomes at scale.

This is a player-coach role: you will design, build, review, and optimize complex data workflows while mentoring engineers and driving engineering best practices.

Ideal for: Someone who has delivered multiple production programs in a modern AWS data engineering landscape, can communicate trade-offs clearly to senior stakeholders, and can lead teams through ambiguity to predictable, high-quality outcomes. Your Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of scalable, secure, and cost-efficient ETL/ELT pipelines using AWS Glue, Python (PySpark), and MWAA (Airflow).
• Define solution architectures, data models, orchestration patterns, and CI/CD for data workflows.
• Own the technical roadmap, decomposition, and delivery plan-including sizing, sprint planning, and risk mitigation.
• Drive performance optimization (e.g., partitioning strategies, Glue job tuning, job bookmarks, dynamic frames vs DataFrames, retry/backoff strategies in Airflow).
• Ensure robust observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and data quality (unit tests, Great Expectations/Deequ-style checks, validations).
• Act as the technical point of contact for Senior Architects, and Program Managers; translate business needs into technical designs and delivery milestones.
• Present architecture decisions, trade-offs, and TCO to senior stakeholders with clarity, data, and rationale.
• Manage vendor/partner coordination where relevant.
• Establish coding standards, code review practices, branching strategies, and secure-by-design principles.
• Implement DevSecOps for data: infrastructure-as-code (IaC), secrets management, environment promotion, and automated testing.
• Ensure compliance with data governance, security, and regulatory requirements (e.g., PII/PCI, encryption, auditability, lineage).
• Mentor and upskill engineers; foster a culture of learning, ownership, and continuous improvement., Want to own technical direction not just tickets?
