• Create and maintain AWS Glue jobs, including Visual ETL workflows.
• Support large-volume data loads and batch processing, including ECS or Fargate.
• Write and maintain Redshift SQL organized into properly layered landing, staging, core, and mart structures, including tables and views.
• Develop efficient queries using joins, aggregations, and views against large datasets.
• Implement and maintain SQL-based data quality checks covering null values, duplicates, row counts, and schema change detection.
• Monitor, diagnose, and remediate pipeline and job failures using CloudWatch logs and job run histories.
• Work within supporting AWS services, including VPC, IAM, SSM Parameter Store, Secrets Manager, and KMS.
• Adhere to established AWS naming conventions and follow DEV/STAGE/PROD promotion patterns.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting assets in Amazon QuickSight, Tableau, or Power BI to support business stakeholders.
• Ingest and manipulate data in dashboards.
