AWS Data Engineer

Tamazari • Contract • Seattle, WA, US • 3d ago

We are looking for a highly skilled AWS Data Engineer to design, build, and optimize large-scale data pipelines and analytics solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in cloud-based data engineering, hands-on experience with AWS native services, and a solid understanding of data lake, data warehouse, and real-time streaming architectures.

The Data Engineer will support a data lake implementation for a major utilities provider. The role will design and build the infrastructure and pipelines that enable organizations to collect, store, process, and analyze large volumes of structured and unstructured data efficiently and securely. They will be responsible for the end-to-end data lifecycle, from ingestion and transformation to storage and delivery for analytics, machine learning, and operational systems. They will ensure the data is reliable, high-quality, scalable, and accessible for business and technical stakeholders.

This is a 8 month contract, with potential for extension. The majority of the work can be done remotely, but there will be occasional onsite meetings, so the candidate must be local to Seattle, WA. No 3rd parties, direct applicants only.
