Senior Data Engineer - AWS Data Platform IRC307773

Description

Our client is a leading European bank and financial services institution committed to delivering modern, customer-centric digital banking solutions. Guided by strong values of simplicity, accessibility, and financial transparency, the organization serves consumer and commercial banking markets with a diverse range of lending, savings, and payment services.

This project is part of a strategic enterprise initiative to modernize and scale the bank's core data platform on AWS. The initiative focuses on migrating away from legacy data infrastructures into a modern, event-driven lakehouse architecture capable of supporting real-time streaming, advanced analytics, and strict regulatory reporting. You will join an established engineering team to accelerate production execution, establish engineering best practices, and deliver resilient data products in a secure financial environment.

Requirements

• Must-Have
  Advanced proficiency in Python, PySpark, and complex SQL for building high-performance, production-grade data pipelines.
• Extensive hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating solutions using key AWS services (e.g., S3, Glue, EMR, Lambda, Step Functions or MWAA/Airflow, Redshift, Lake Formation).
• Proven production expertise with Apache Spark for scalable data processing, combined with advanced dbt experience for modular data modeling, testing, and deployment.
• Practical experience implementing event-driven streaming solutions with Apache Kafka or AWS MSK, alongside Change Data Capture (CDC) workflows using AWS DMS, Debezium, or equivalent tools.
• Hands-on experience managing infrastructure via Terraform or AWS CDK, combined with automated CI/CD deployments and comprehensive testing frameworks (unit, integration, and data-quality/reconciliation testing).

Nice-to-Have

• 7+ years of dedicated data engineering experience; prior work in banking, fintech, or strictly regulated environments.
• Working knowledge of GDPR, PII protection, least-privilege IAM, encryption at rest/in transit, and financial auditability standards.
• Familiarity with lakehouse architectures, dimensional modeling, data contracts, and schema evolution.
• Experience setting up CloudWatch monitoring, alerting, automated lineage, and production incident recovery runbooks.
• Practical knowledge of schema registries, event replay, deduplication, and exactly-once/idempotent processing.

Job responsibilities

• Design, implement, deploy, and maintain robust batch, real-time streaming, and CDC pipelines on AWS.
• Build clean, maintainable, and production-ready data pipelines and transformation logic using Python, PySpark, SQL, and dbt.
• Create reusable, resilient ingestion patterns across diverse sources, including relational databases, APIs, flat files, and real-time event streams.
• Implement and operate Kafka/MSK streaming pipelines and CDC workflows using AWS DMS or Debezium.
• Develop optimized, standardized data models supporting both analytical consumption and operational data use cases within a lakehouse pattern.
• Migrate and refactor legacy ETL workloads into scalable, AWS-native serverless or distributed services.
• Implement automated data-quality controls, data reconciliation frameworks, monitoring, alerting, and end-to-end data lineage.
• Actively monitor pipelines, diagnose latency bottlenecks, resolve data anomalies, and maintain operational runbooks.
• Apply security-by-design principles to ensure all data handling adheres to strict financial compliance, encryption, and privacy standards.
• Manage platform infrastructure and continuous deployment pipelines using Terraform, CDK, and CI/CD tools.
