About The Role

Synechron is seeking a hands-on AWS Cloud Data Engineer to build, maintain, and improve cloud-based data solutions, analytics pipelines, and reporting capabilities. This individual contributor role focuses on development, implementation, troubleshooting, and analytics enablement rather than enterprise architecture or people management. You will work with Databricks, Apache Spark, Python, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, MongoDB, and Microsoft Power BI, collaborating with developers, analysts, BI teams, and business stakeholders. The position is based in Piscataway, New Jersey. The listed base salary range is $110,000-$120,000 per year, with benefits; compensation may vary depending on geography and other factors.

Qualifications

Candidates should have at least eight years of experience in data engineering, cloud development, software development, or a related field. Strong hands-on skills in Databricks, Apache Spark, Python, and Power BI are required, along with practical experience building and supporting data ingestion and transformation pipelines. Experience with AWS services, particularly Lambda, S3, IAM, and CloudWatch, and working knowledge of serverless or event-driven integrations are expected. Candidates should also have experience with MongoDB and document-oriented data, GitHub source control, data modeling, data quality, and validation. Familiarity with GitHub Actions, CI/CD, Agile delivery, automated testing, and modern data lake or lakehouse platforms is important. Knowledge of Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Databricks Workflows, and Tableau is highly desirable. Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and collaboration skills are essential.

Responsibilities

Develop and support scalable data pipelines and workflows using Python, Databricks, PySpark, and AWS. Build ingestion, transformation, cleansing, enrichment, aggregation, and validation processes for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Create and maintain Databricks notebooks, jobs, and workflows, and improve performance through suitable partitioning, caching, and schema-management practices. Use Amazon S3 for data storage and staging, and AWS Lambda for serverless processing; apply appropriate logging, monitoring, error handling, and security practices. Integrate MongoDB and other sources with AWS and Databricks, addressing nested records, changing schemas, data quality, and reconciliation needs. Write modular, tested, documented Python code and resolve pipeline, processing, and integration issues. Build and maintain Power BI data models, DAX measures, reports, and dashboards; connect curated datasets, validate results, and troubleshoot reporting discrepancies. Support Tableau solutions where needed. Use GitHub for version control, pull requests, code reviews, and issue tracking. Contribute to GitHub Actions pipelines for automated testing and deployment of code and data components. Participate in Agile planning, stand-ups, demonstrations, and retrospectives, and deliver incremental, documented solutions with the team.

Benefits

Synechron offers competitive compensation and a benefits package that may include medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance; retirement savings plans; paid annual and sick leave; national holidays; and maternity and paternity leave. Additional offerings vary by region and may include commuter benefits and opportunities for international work. Employees can access higher-education certification support, extensive training, more than 5,000 curated Udemy for Business courses, and coaching through FinLabs and Centers of Excellence. Teams work on technology projects for leading banks, financial institutions, and insurers in a diverse, collaborative global culture.
