Day-to-day responsibilities include designing and implementing the lakehouse architecture, streaming ingestion pipelines, and ensuring robust data processing with tools like Iceberg/Delta on S3, Spark/Glue, Kafka, and CDC pipelines. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in modern lakehouse technologies, production depth in AWS data services, and proficiency in Python, Go, or Java. They should also have a track record of evolving live systems and leading major platform transitions while fostering collaboration across security, compliance, and consumer teams. This role demands hands-on coding on challenging problems and setting technical direction for the team.
