 * Hands-on experience with AWS services including but not limited to: S3, Lambda, Glue, Kinesis, Athena, and RDS.
 * Proficiency with Terraform for automating infrastructure deployment and management.
 * Hands-on experience with Databricks for ML workflows: MLflow experiment tracking and model registry, Model Serving, and building training datasets in Delta Lake (PySpark/Spark SQL).
 * Experience working with real-time or batch data ingestion at scale, and designing fault-tolerant ETL/ELT pipelines.
 * Familiarity with DVC for dataset versioning and management.
 * Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging systems like Kafka or Kinesis.
 * Strong debugging and optimization skills across cloud, network, and application layers.
 * Excellent collaboration, communication, and documentation skills.

Bonus Points

 * Experience working with time-series or IoT sensor data at industrial scale.
 * Exposure to gRPC and protobuf-based data contracts.
 * Experience supporting ML pipelines and feature stores.
 * Working knowledge of Kubernetes concepts.
 * Databricks Machine Learning certification (Professional)
 * Prior startup experience and/or comfort working in fast-paced, iterative environments.

## Description

* Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable, and high-throughput data ingestion pipelines for structured and semi-structured data.
 * Implement robust and secure data lake and SQL-based storage architectures optimized for performance and cost.
 * Develop and maintain internal tools and frameworks for data ingestion using Python, Golang, and SQL.
 * Build and maintain inference pipelines to support model serving and near real time prediction workflows
 * Develop and maintain internal tools and deployment processes to support ML development workflow , including experimentation, testing, deployment and monitoring.
 * Collaborate cross-functionally with Cloud, Edge, Product, and AI teams to define data contracts, schemas, and retention policies.
 * Use AWS cloud infrastructure (including Argo Workflows, S3, Lambda, Glue, Kinesis, Athena, and RDS) to support end-to-end data workflows.
 * Employ Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices using Terraform to manage data platform infrastructure.
 * Monitor data pipelines for quality, latency, and failures using tools such as CloudWatch, SumoLogic, or DataDog.
 * Build and maintain ingestion pipelines that land curated sensor and operational data into Delta tables on Databricks to support ML experimentation and model training.
 * Continuously optimize storage, partitioning, and query performance across large-scale datasets.
 * Participate in architecture reviews and ensure the platform adheres to security, compliance, and best practice standards.
