Role Description:
We are looking for an experienced API Data Engineer / Cloud Developer with strong expertise in building secure, scalable, and event-driven solutions on AWS. The ideal candidate will play a key role in transforming legacy on-prem systems to cloud-native, serverless architectures using services like AWS Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, RDS (Aurora), and API Gateway. This is a high-impact development role, not a maintenance or enhancement position.Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop RESTful APIs using AWS Lambda and Python, including secure API-to-API and API-to-application communication.
- Build event-driven architectures that respond to file uploads in S3, triggering a pipeline of Glue jobs with quality checks and conditional processing.
- Translate complex SQL Server stored procedures into modular, reusable AWS Glue (PySpark) jobs with dependency chaining using Step Functions.
- Implement data quality checks and preprocessing logic directly in S3 using PySpark before triggering downstream processing.
- Ensure end-to-end data pipeline security through AWS services such as KMS, tokenization, and secure access control.
- Develop reusable libraries and components to streamline Glue development.
- Monitor and log job executions using CloudWatch, implement alerting for job failures or performance issues.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including architecture, DevOps, business analysts, and data consumers to deliver production-ready solutions.
- Drive infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform to provision API and data services.
Required Skills and Experience:
- 5+ years of experience building enterprise-scale, cloud-native applications in AWS.
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS Glue, PySpark, Lambda, S3, Athena, and RDS (Aurora/Postgres).
- Proven experience in building secure REST APIs, including token-based security, API Gateway configuration, and monitoring.
- Experience working in event-driven and domain-driven architectures.
- Deep knowledge of SQL Server and experience translating complex stored procedures to AWS Glue.
- Expertise in designing modular, fault-tolerant Glue workflows using Step Functions.
- Proficient in Python and developing reusable code libraries for data processing tasks.
- Strong understanding of AWS security services (KMS, tokenization, IAM policies).
- Experience with CloudWatch, monitoring, alerting, and log tracing.
- Hands-on experience with Terraform for managing infrastructure as code.
- Experience with API documentation and lifecycle management.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with data tokenization, PII masking, or secure data handling in financial services.
- Background in data engineering, especially in handling complex transformations and pipeline orchestration.
- Strong understanding of data governance, metadata management, and quality frameworks.
