The ideal candidate brings strong backend engineering fundamentals, experience with cloud-based data platforms, and a focus on building observable and maintainable data systems. This role participates in the full software development lifecycle, from requirements and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and operational support.

What You Will Do

 * Design, develop, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines for ingesting, transforming, validating, and delivering data
 * Build reliable data workflows that support batch and event-driven processing
 * Partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to translate data requirements into technical solutions
 * Develop backend services, APIs, and data processing jobs using Python, Java, and related technologies
 * Implement data validation, reconciliation, and quality checks to reduce downstream defects and improve trust in data
 * Monitor and troubleshoot production data pipelines, identifying root causes and implementing long-term fixes
 * Optimize data processing performance, database queries, and infrastructure usage
 * Maintain clear technical documentation for data flows, pipeline logic, operational runbooks, and system design
