Responsibilities

Big Picture Thinking: You'll map unique data schemas and flows to our current and future platform capabilities, keeping long-term scalability and sustainability in mind.

Implement Anti-Corruption Layers: You will design and build systems to handle diverse data schemas, ensuring the isolation of uniqueness and the consistency of downstream data.

Defensive Coding: Data integration points can be brittle, and we need engineers who can anticipate and defend against potential data issues. You'll build robust solutions to handle the complexity and prevent errors.

Mentorship: We value a low-ego, highly collaborative environment. You will have the opportunity to mentor teammates, lead by example, and contribute to the broader organization.

Cutting-Edge Technologies: You will work in AWS, leveraging technologies such as Lambda, DynamoDB, Glue, and step-functions. You’ll collaborate closely with teams focused on infrastructure and developer experience.

Event-Driven Architecture: We are moving towards a fully event-driven architecture, using Kafka to decouple dependencies and increase the robustness of our platform.

Ownership Mentality: In this role, you’ll own your work end-to-end. You will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, correctness, and performance of the code you write. This is not a role for someone who requires step-by-step guidance; we’re looking for proactive problem-solvers.
