We need a Senior Data Engineer to spearhead migration from SQL Server to AWS Redshift.

A technology and consulting company specializing in customer loyalty, personalization, data analytics, and AI-powered solutions for large enterprise brands across industries such as travel, hospitality, retail, and entertainment. The company combines consulting expertise with a SaaS loyalty platform, helping clients design, implement, and optimize loyalty programs, improve customer engagement, and use data and AI to deliver personalized experiences.

Requirements
