Job description

Primary Objective: Modernize a legacy Operational Data Store (ODS) by converting legacy database schemas, refactoring data pipelines, and implementing AI-driven automation to build solutions from scratch. This is primarily a Database Modernization / Data Engineering position rather than a traditional Full-Stack role. The target environment involves transitioning from a legacy Sybase database to a modern cloud/relational architecture (PostgreSQL or Snowflake) using AI tools like Amazon Kiro. Key Responsibilities & Outcomes

  • Convert legacy database schemas and refactor data pipelines.
  • Implement AI-driven automation to build components from scratch.
  • Utilize Amazon Kiro (AWS’s agentic AI IDE/environment) to automate code refactoring, spec generation, and schema conversions.
  • Focus entirely on back-end data architecture and database migration (minimal to no frontend work).

Requirements

  • 1-3 years of AI experience.
  • 8 years of development experience.
  • Deep database transformation and data engineering experience.
  • Strong underlying database/data engineering capabilities (ability to learn Amazon Kiro on the job is acceptable if these core skills are strong).

Preferred:

  • Prior hands-on experience with AI-assisted development or agentic tools.
  • Experience with Java/Python (used primarily for scripting, data pipelines, or basic glue logic).
  • Experience with Kafka (beneficial for understanding real-time streaming contexts).
