• Write complex SQL queries and ensure data quality, consistency, and accuracy.
• Build cloud-native data solutions using AWS services including S3, Athena, Redshift, Glue, Lambda, RDS, IAM, and CloudWatch.
• Design scalable data models and schemas for self-service reporting.
• Contribute to architecture and technical decisions across the data and analytics platform.
• Improve CI/CD, deployment automation, monitoring, reliability, and scalability of data pipelines.
• Support reporting and analytics features in React/Ruby on Rails applications as needed.
• Conduct code/design reviews, mentor engineers, and promote data engineering best practices.
• Partner with Product, Analytics, and business stakeholders to translate reporting needs into technical solutions.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 7+ years of software/data engineering experience, with significant experience in data pipelines and BI/reporting.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS QuickSight or comparable BI tools such as Tableau or Looker, including dashboards, calculated fields, parameters, and embedded analytics.
• Strong SQL and relational database skills, including complex queries and performance tuning.
• Experience with AWS data services such as Redshift, Athena, Glue, S3, and Lambda.
• Experience with data modeling, data warehousing, ETL/ELT, and data governance.
• Experience designing scalable data systems and modern data architectures.
• Experience with Git, CI/CD, and Agile development.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work directly with business and analytics stakeholders.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with Snowflake or other data warehousing platforms.
• Python experience for data pipelines or automation.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK.
• Experience with event-driven architectures or enterprise-scale data platforms.
• AWS certification.
• Experience in media, advertising, customer analytics, or reporting products.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools or AI/ML capabilities in data/engineering workflows.
