• Plan and execute data migration strategies using AWS DataSync and AWS DMS, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime. 

• Integrate services using API Gateway and manage secure access controls through IAM. 

• Handle large datasets and data models end-to-end — including data model design, data model creation, and development of data pipelines for ingestion, migration, and transformation. 

• Write, optimize, and maintain SQL Server queries and stored procedures to support data processing and reporting needs. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including architects, analysts, and business stakeholders, to translate requirements into robust technical solutions. 

• Ensure data pipelines and cloud infrastructure adhere to enterprise security, governance, and compliance standards. 

Mandatory skill sets: 

• 6–8 years of hands-on experience leading and performing development, with strong command of one or more programming languages such as Python, PySpark, etc. 

• 4–6 years of hands-on experience developing and deploying cloud-native solutions on AWS, including Compute (EC2, Lambda), Storage (S3), and Database (RDS, Aurora, Postgres, DynamoDB) services. 

• Hands-on experience with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow, Step Functions, and SNS. 

• Strong expertise in ETL/Analytics services (Glue, EMR, Athena, Redshift), Infrastructure (CloudFormation, CodePipeline), and Data Migration tools (AWS DataSync, AWS DMS). 

• Working knowledge of API Gateway and IAM for secure service integration and access management. 

• Expertise in handling large datasets and data models — including design, data model creation, and development of data pipelines for ingestion, migration, and transformation. 

• Strong hands-on experience with SQL Server and stored procedures. 

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to work independently and lead development efforts in a fast-paced environment. 

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and business stakeholders. 

Preferred skill sets: 

• Knowledge of APIs and API integration patterns.
