The Role
Build and own an ETL pipeline replacing a third-party ingestion tool. Document legacy ingestion logic, integrate Amazon DSP and other digital advertising data sources, evaluate managed ELT tools, and align pipeline outputs with attribution, scoring, and dashboard requirements. Provide broader backend and application engineering support within AWS, collaborate with infrastructure and data science teams, and work with existing ECS, S3, and RDS environments.

ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to replace a third-party data ingestion tool with an owned ETL pipeline.
MUST HAVES
- 4+ years of strong SQL and large-scale data ingestion/pipeline experience (batch ETL, orchestration, schema design).
- Working knowledge of AWS data services (RDS/Postgres, S3, ECS) sufficient to build within an existing cloud environment.
- Practical experience with Claude Code or similar tools, and agents or MCP in real work.
- Ability to contribute to application and backend work beyond pure ETL to support broader platform needs.
- Familiarity with, or ability to quickly evaluate, managed ELT tools (such as Fivetran) against custom builds.
- Ability to ramp into existing attribution and scoring logic so ingestion output aligns with downstream dashboard needs.
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Direct or adjacent experience with digital advertising / DSP data (e.g., Amazon DSP, Amazon Advertising API, or comparable programmatic platforms).
- Experience replacing legacy third-party data pipelines with owned, custom infrastructure.
- Familiarity with MLOps pipelines and how data feeds predictive models.
- Experience working alongside part-time technical advisory leads to validate architecture decisions.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Document current ingestion logic inside the legacy tool, including sources, endpoints, schemas, and transformation logic.
- Build the ETL pipeline to replace the legacy system, handling ingestion from the Amazon API, other DSP platforms, and related digital data sources.
- Evaluate and decide between off-the-shelf solutions (e.g., Fivetran) and owned ETL systems alongside the Infrastructure Lead.
- Design the pipeline as a standalone, owned system to power client-facing dashboards.
- Provide flexible engineering support for application and backend work within the AWS environment when directed.
- Coordinate with data science teams to ensure ingestion output aligns with the attribution and scoring logic of downstream models.
- Work seamlessly within the existing AWS environment (ECS, S3, RDS) rather than standing up parallel infrastructure.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
- Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
- Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
