Your first assignment
Your first assignment is to build the pipelines that move a federal agency's data from source to warehouse on Amazon Web Services (AWS): ingest, process, store, and keep it clean and trustworthy at scale. The work is real, hard, and it matters. It is also where you start, not the shape of your career here: we hire people, not seats, and we move our best to where the hardest problems are.
What you'll build
- Ingest-process-store pipelines on AWS: Spark-based extract, transform, and load (ETL) with Glue, Amazon EMR, Lambda, and Step Functions, in Python and PySpark.
- A data lake that feeds the warehouse: S3 design (Parquet, partitioning, lifecycle) into Redshift, with event orchestration, secrets and monitoring, and data quality, validation, and lineage built in.
- In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.
Who you are
You are a data engineer who is serious about the craft and eager to go deeper. You care as much about whether the data is trustworthy as whether it arrives, and you do your best work alongside people who push you. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.
What you bring
- Hands-on data engineering on AWS: Spark ETL (Glue, EMR), Python and PySpark, and S3 data-lake design feeding a warehouse.
- A data lake that feeds the warehouse: S3 design (Parquet, partitioning, lifecycle) into data storage tools like Postgres, Iceberg, or Redshift, with event orchestration, secrets and monitoring, and data quality, validation, and lineage built in.
- The judgment to build in a regulated environment where accuracy and auditability are not optional.
