Summary

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Developer specializing in AWS Glue and ETL to lead the integration and adoption of AWS Glue within our technology stack. This is a pivotal role focused on designing and implementing scalable, configuration-driven ETL processes for ingesting, wrangling, and transforming heterogeneous data sources into a centralized data lake. You will play a key part in enabling our team to build reusable, schema-on-read-based pipelines and robust data catalogs to support business-critical applications.


The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in AWS Glue, Spark-based data processing, and the development of reusable, modular code for complex ETL workflows.

• Design and implement schema-on-read architectures to enable downstream applications to dynamically interpret and map schemas.

• Create and maintain centralized data catalogs using AWS Glue to manage metadata for all ingested data sources.


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.
