  • Collaborate with DevOps and engineering teams to design event-driven data flows using patterns such as outbox, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.
  • Partner with business stakeholders to translate reporting requirements into efficient data structures and pipelines.
  • Implement performance tuning and query optimization across databases and analytics tools.
  • Document data architecture, definitions, and policies to ensure long-term clarity and compliance.
  • Mentor engineers and analysts on data modeling, SQL best practices, and governance principles.

  • Strong knowledge of cloud-native data platforms such as AWS S3 / Parquet, Glue, Athena, Redshift; familiarity with Snowflake or Databricks is a plus.
  • Proficiency with ETL / ELT tools and pipelines, including AWS Step Functions, Lambda, or ECS workers.
  • Familiarity with data governance and compliance frameworks (FERPA, COPPA, SOX).
  • Solid understanding of event-driven architectures and streaming patterns.
  • Strong SQL skills; experience with Python or Scala for data processing is a plus.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills to effectively collaborate with both technical and business teams.
