Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end serverless architecture for ingesting, validating, processing, and storing diabetes data (PHI) from connected devices, mobile apps, and clinical systems
Mentor engineers and elevate engineering practices across teams
Design multi-channel ingestion using AWS serverless patterns: API Gateway + Lambda for app/API traffic, Event-driven workflows with EventBridge, Step Functions, SQS/SNS for decoupling, retries, and DLQs, Streaming pipelines via Kinesis Data Streams/Firehose; define schemas, versioning, and replay strategies, Define processing pipelines in Lambda/Step Functions (and EMR/Spark if needed for large transforms): Normalize, validate, deduplicate, and enrich time-series data (CGM/insulin events), handle clock skew, units, and data quality rules
Implement idempotent handlers, backpressure controls, and at-least/exactly-once semantics where appropriate
Expose secure APIs via API Gateway with OAuth2/OIDC, fine-grained scopes, consent-aware access, and full auditability
Architect storage and data models: DynamoDB for high-throughput operational workloads (session/state, telemetry indexes, consent/access metadata); design keys, GSIs, TTLs, and global tables as needed, Amazon DocumentDB for semi-structured clinical/event documents; define collections, indexes, and consistency/read/write strategies, Amazon Redshift for analytics and longitudinal studies; model distribution/sort keys, data marts, and federated queries (Athena/Redshift Spectrum), Amazon S3 as the data lake (raw/curated zones) with lifecycle policies, compression/columnar formats (Parquet), and Glue Data Catalog for discovery
Implement security, privacy, and compliance by design: PHI safeguards: encryption at rest/in transit (KMS, TLS), least-privilege IAM, VPC isolation, PrivateLink/VPC endpoints, WAF/Shield as applicable
Ensure reliability, observability, and performance: Define SLOs (ingestion latency, freshness) and build resilient, multi-AZ serverless designs with retries, DLQs, and circuit breakers, Instrument metrics/logs/traces (CloudWatch, X-Ray), alarms and runbooks; conduct load/performance and chaos/resilience testing, Optimize cold starts, concurrency, and throughput; apply caching and batching patterns when appropriate
FinOps leadership: Own unit economics (per million messages, per API call, per active device), forecasts, and variance analysis, Tagging/Cost Categories, CUR dashboards (Athena/QuickSight), Budgets/Anomaly Detection, showback/chargeback; service-level cost playbooks (DynamoDB capacity/table class, DocumentDB rightsizing, Lambda power tuning, log retention, NAT/data transfer reductions), and Savings Plans/RI strategy
