• Partner with the CDO team and data product leaders to implement the vision for an AWS‑based data platform that enables enterprise‑wide self‑service, unlocking data for AI, analytics, and innovation.
• Implement architectural decisions and establish best practices for data ingestion, transformation, and distribution frameworks that accelerate time‑to‑insight for data producers and consumers.
• Champion adoption of emerging technologies such as Agentic AI and Generative AI, integrating advanced capabilities into data workflows to enhance user experience and position the organization as “AI‑Ready.”
• Ensure operational excellence and reliability by proactively addressing complex data engineering challenges, implementing robust quality controls, and preventing production incidents.

You May be a Good Fit if:

• 3-5 years’ experience ‘hands‑on’ as a member of a highly technical data‑centric software engineers, preferably in financial services, in support of Data Lake houses (e.g. AWS, Databricks, Snowflake), data virtualizations solutions (e.g. Starburst), modern data catalogs & data quality capabilities (e.g. Collibra), and Master Data Management (e.g. Informatica)
• Experience working with master data concepts such as golden records, survivorship, reference data, and data stewardship in large‑scale enterprise environments.
• Exposure to building or operating master data pipelines and services that integrate with analytics, operational systems, and APIs.
• Proven AWS expertise (S3, EKS, Lambda, Glue, EMR, Redshift, S3, RDS/Aurora, Valkey/Redis, Step Functions, MSK/Kafka, Event Bridge).
• Experience applying AI/ML to boost engineering productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q).
• Strong Python for data engineering (Pandas, Spark/PySpark) and API Development (FastAPI or similar).
• Design and build high‑performance REST/GraphQL APIs with optimized query patterns, pagination, caching, and schema design to ensure low‑latency, performant reads at scale.

• Hands‑on experience building AI agents (e.g., using LangChain or LlamaIndex), implementing RAG over enterprise data, and enforcing robust guardrails through rigorous testing and evaluation.
• Applying AI/ML to boost engineering productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) and using agentic AI to automate workflows such as code reviews, test generation, data quality checks, and runbook execution.
• Experience working with AI connection protocols (e.g., MCP, A2A) that ensure secure, interoperable, observable, and vendor‑agnostic communication with authenticated, auditable messaging and robust error handling.
