When you apply for this position, you're taking the first step in a process that goes beyond the ordinary. We aim to align your passions and skills with our vacancies, setting you on a path to exceptional career development and success.

Senior AWS Data Engineer at BairesDev

In this role, you'll re-engineer an existing ingestion and lakehouse platform, redesigning retention, compaction, and recovery so restores are automated rather than manual. This is your opportunity to bring strong code-archaeology instincts to a real production challenge, introducing publish gates and automated recovery.

What You’ll Do:

• Read and re-engineer existing ingestion and lakehouse code across Lambda, Glue, EventBridge, and Step Functions.
• Manage Apache Iceberg tables in the Gold zone, including retention and compaction strategy.
• Redesign recovery processes to automate restores that were previously manual.
• Introduce write-audit-publish patterns to prevent bad writes from landing silently.
• Work with Kafka on MSK for event processing across the pipeline.

What we are looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering with AWS.
• Strong experience with Apache Iceberg table management.
• Experience with AWS Glue ETL.
• Proficiency in Python.
• Experience with Kafka.
• Strong code-archaeology instincts, with proven experience reading and re-engineering existing systems rather than building greenfield.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

Nice to have:

• Experience with AWS Lambda.
• Familiarity with Step Functions and EventBridge.
• Experience with write-audit-publish patterns.

How we do make your work (and your life) easier:

• 100% remote work (from anywhere).
• Excellent compensation in USD or your local currency if preferred
• Hardware and software setup for you to work from home.
• Flexible hours: create your own schedule.
• Paid parental leaves, vacations, and holidays.
• Innovative and multicultural work environment: collaborate and learn from the global Top 1% of talent.
• Supportive environment with mentorship, promotions, skill development, and diverse growth opportunities.
