IT accelerates the success of IDEXX employees and customers by providing scalable and innovative solutions and leadership. We are a global organization that supports all technology needed to deliver products and solutions to customers enabling them to focus on delivering high quality patient care.

In this role, you will...- Build and maintain streaming ingestion, API-based data workflows, and distributed data transformations using AWS services (Kinesis, Lambda, Glue/Spark, EMR, S3)
- Develop and maintain REST APIs for data ingestion and consumption
- Design and implement platform automation and standardized, repeatable deployment mechanisms (e.g., versioned releases, environment promotion, and deterministic deployment workflows)
- Develop and optimize data lake and operational data models for near-real-time use cases
- Work across both streaming (operational) and batch (analytical) layers to ensure consistent, high-quality data delivery
- Help improve reliability, automation, and observability across the RDE data platform
- Participate in an on-call rotation to help provide support for the team’s data systems and services
