- 5+ years of experience in data engineering or a closely related software engineering role, with proven expertise in designing and delivering production-grade data solutions.
- Strong experience in data modeling, scalable batch data pipelines, and data lake or data warehouse patterns, with the ability to support near real-time use cases where required.
- Strong SQL skills and solid experience with relational databases, including schema design, performance optimization, and data access patterns.
- Strong programming skills in Python, with experience building and maintaining robust data processing code and reusable pipeline components.
- Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Prefect, or equivalent orchestration frameworks used for production data processing.
- Strong hands-on experience building and operating event-driven data pipelines across AWS services such as Lambda, ECS Fargate, Batch, Step Functions, Glue, Athena, EventBridge, and S3, using Python and Bash in cloud-native data processing workflows.
- Experience exposing data for analytics, reporting, or catalog use cases, with familiarity in Power BI and similar tools considered an advantage.
- Practical experience with data catalog, metadata, lineage, governance, and secure data handling practices in enterprise environments.
- Understanding of access control, consent-aware data usage, and secure data management in environments handling customer or operator data.
- Strong understanding of DevOps practices, Git-based development workflows, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines for reliable software and data delivery.
- Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly to support coding, documentation, analysis, and troubleshooting in line with security and governance requirements.
- Experience with containerization and platform technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, as well as monitoring, observability, and operational support in production environments.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with architects, product teams, R&D stakeholders, and data consumers to translate business or product needs into scalable data solutions.
- Experience working with raw and parsed datasets, dataset onboarding, migration, or data enablement workflows is considered a strong advantage.
- Experience in telecom, network analytics, product engineering, or similarly complex engineering domains is considered a strong advantage.
What will you do?
- Design, build, and optimize robust end-to-end data pipelines and reusable processing components that deliver trusted and timely data to product teams and other stakeholders.
- Develop, maintain, and operate AWS-based, event-driven data workflows and S3-backed data flows, ensuring secure, scalable, and reliable data movement across the delivery lifecycle.
- Build and evolve orchestrated data processing workflows using tools such as Prefect, with strong focus on quality, maintainability, and operational support.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, architects, and stakeholders to design scalable data solutions aligned with product, analytics, and operational needs.
- Drive implementation of data ingestion, transformation, validation, and quality assurance frameworks, including support for raw and parsed dataset workflows.
- Contribute to the evolution of data catalog, metadata, and lineage capabilities to improve discoverability, governance, and controlled data consumption.
- Support secure data handling, access control, and consent-aware ways of working in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and governance processes.
- Enable data consumption for analytics and reporting scenarios, including integration points that support cataloging, dashboards, and internal visibility of available datasets.
- Independently drive improvements to data platform capabilities, pipeline performance, testing, observability, and operational excellence.
- Use modern engineering practices and AI-assisted tools where appropriate to improve development efficiency, documentation quality, troubleshooting, and delivery excellence while following security and governance requirements.
- Take ownership of engineering standards, reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices for data engineering across the team.
- Communicate technical solutions, trade-offs, and delivery progress effectively to engineering teams, product stakeholders, and leadership in both technical and plain language.
- Mentor peers when needed and contribute to a strong engineering culture focused on quality, collaboration, continuous learning, and pragmatic adoption of better ways of working.
