3. ETL Process Design

  • Build agile workflows for ingesting, wrangling, and transforming diverse data formats, including JSON, CSV, and text files.
  • Optimize ETL processes for scalability, performance, and error handling.


4. Spark-Based Reusable Code Development

  • Develop reusable, modular Spark code for data processing, transformation, and cleaning.
  • Ensure that code components are optimized for performance and scalable across multiple data sources.


5. Configuration-Driven Pipelines

  • Design ETL workflows that minimize coding requirements by leveraging configuration-based setups.
  • Collaborate with non-technical stakeholders to build user-friendly interfaces for configuring data pipelines.


6. Data Quality and Validation

  • Implement robust QA mechanisms to validate data integrity at every stage of the ETL pipeline.
  • Create automated validation scripts to ensure data accuracy and compliance with defined standards.


7. Collaboration and Leadership

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including data engineers, software developers, and product managers, to align ETL pipelines with business requirements.
  • Mentor junior team members in AWS Glue best practices and advanced ETL development techniques.


8. Monitoring and Maintenance

  • Integrate monitoring tools such as AWS CloudWatch to provide visibility into ETL job performance and ensure timely issue resolution.
  • Establish documentation for ETL processes, AWS Glue configurations, and reusable code components.


Qualifications:

● Proven experience with AWS Glue, including Data Catalogs, Crawlers, and ETL job configuration.

● Strong expertise in Apache Spark for data processing and transformation.

● Hands-on experience in building schema-on-read architectures and managing evolving data schemas.

● Proficiency with ingesting and processing heterogeneous data sources (e.g., JSON, CSV, text).

● Experience developing modular, reusable code for data wrangling and transformation.

● Deep understanding of data quality and validation strategies in ETL pipelines.

● Proficiency in Python or Scala for Spark and AWS Glue development.

● Familiarity with AWS services such as S3, Athena, and Redshift.
