- Implement real-time and batch data synchronization pipelines between source systems and the Customer Data Platform (CDP).
- Support Azure data lake migration: conduct discovery, assess schemas and transformation logic, provision AWS target environments, execute migration via AWS DataSync, and perform data validation and reconciliation.
- Implement data lake security using AWS Lake Formation, including row-level security and column-level encryption.
- Build and maintain data models to support Customer 360 views, ML feature stores, and executive analytics dashboards.
- Ensure data quality, validation, and integrity across all pipeline stages and ML model outputs; support UAT for data-dependent features.
- Collaborate with Full Stack, DevOps/MLOps, and AWS engagement teams; contribute to architecture documentation, pipeline runbooks, and data governance documentation.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of data engineering or ML engineering experience, with at least 2+ years in AWS cloud environments.
- Strong proficiency in Python and SQL; experience with AWS data services including S3, Glue, Athena, Kinesis, and Step Functions.

- Experience with Azure Data Lake, Azure Data Factory, or Azure Synapse — particularly in cloud-to-cloud migration contexts.
- Familiarity with Amazon Entity Resolution for customer identity and deduplication use cases.
- Experience with MLOps practices including model monitoring, drift detection, and automated retraining on SageMaker.
- Experience with LLM prompt engineering, RAG architectures, or fine-tuning workflows on Amazon Bedrock.
- Knowledge of Amazon QuickSight for analytics dataset preparation and embedded dashboard development.
- AWS Certification (Machine Learning Specialty, Data Analytics Specialty, or Solutions Architect).
- Background in real estate, property management, marketing technology, or insurance industries.
