Role description
JOB DESCRIPTION Employment Type – CONTRACT Client is looking for CITIZENS/GREEN CARD ONLY W2/1099 candidates Hybrid (2 days onsite- Tuesday and Wednesday, 4x10 shift- off every Friday) Important Skills: Python-focused data platform engineer with experience building reliable ingestion pipelines, SQL-backed metrics systems, backend APIs, and web-based dashboards for ML and experimentation workflows in AWS environments. Role Summary • The speaker wants a data engineer to optimize the workflow of getting data from vehicles/simulations into AWS. • The engineer should leverage AWS tooling for further processing, including metadata and lambda functions. • The role involves pre and post-processing data and tagging it. • The speaker wants a dashboard to manage data, as they currently use Notepad. • This is described as digital asset management. • The role is more back-end heavy, but with some light front-end development for usability. • SQL expectations are high. Data Schema • The team has some schema defined for each of the datasets they are imagining. • They currently use Google Sheets, but it is a "little bit janky when it comes to like sorting and retrieving the results." • Uploading is also a little janky. Strong collaboration and communication, ownership mindset, analytical problem-solving, adaptability, attention to detail, proactive initiative, and effective time management. Ability to multitask effectively and efficiently. Nice to have: experience with ML experiment tracking, data provenance systems, workflow orchestration frameworks, advanced data visualization, LLM-based automation, and cloud-deployed Python services. • 3–5 years of professional experience in software or data engineering roles would be reasonable.
