[Hiring] Lead Data Engineer @Dreamix Ltd.

Role Description

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Lead Data Engineer to drive the design, implementation, and evolution of cloud-native data platforms on AWS. In this role, you will own the end-to-end architecture of data ingestion, transformation, and delivery pipelines — from heterogeneous source systems through to executive-facing BI dashboards. You will combine deep technical expertise with strong stakeholder engagement to ensure data solutions are robust, scalable, and aligned with business needs.

Responsibilities

• Lead teams of data engineers and analytics professionals, providing technical direction and mentorship across the project lifecycle.
• Architect and implement cloud-native data platforms on AWS, designing schemas and ingestion pipelines that handle structured data from diverse sources including Excel feeds, legacy databases, and third-party systems.
• Design, develop, and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines using AWS Glue and Step Functions, ensuring reliable data transformation, validation, and quality enforcement at every stage.
• Own the infrastructure-as-code practice using Terraform — provisioning, versioning, and managing all cloud resources with full reproducibility and environment consistency.
• Deliver end-to-end reporting solutions through Power BI, translating complex data models into intuitive dashboards that provide stakeholders with actionable, near-real-time insights.
• Translate complex technical concepts and architectural decisions to non-technical stakeholders clearly and persuasively, facilitating informed decision-making at all levels.
• Establish and enforce best practices around data quality, pipeline monitoring, documentation, and incident response.
• Participate in pre-sales and discovery efforts, leveraging technical expertise to support scoping, estimation, and business development initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in data engineering, cloud infrastructure, or platform development, with a demonstrated track record of delivering production-grade data solutions.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS data services — particularly Glue, Step Functions, S3, RDS/Redshift, IAM, and CloudWatch.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python for data transformation, pipeline orchestration, and scripting.
• Solid experience with Terraform or equivalent IaC tooling for managing cloud infrastructure.
• Proven ability to design and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines for data ingestion from heterogeneous sources.
• Experience building dashboards and data models in Power BI (or equivalent BI tools such as Tableau or Looker).
• Strong understanding of data modeling, schema design, and data warehousing concepts.
• Exceptional communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills — comfortable leading technical discussions with engineering teams and presenting insights to C-level audiences alike.
• Strong leadership capabilities with experience mentoring engineers and driving best practices across teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with additional AWS services such as Lambda, Athena, Lake Formation, or EventBridge.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for data infrastructure (e.g., GitHub Actions, CodePipeline).
• Exposure to data governance, cataloging, or lineage tooling.
• Experience working in consulting or multi-client delivery environments.

Benefits

• A collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture built on transparency and mutual respect.
• Flexible working hours that allow you to balance your work and personal life.
• Unlimited home office to help you stay productive and focused.
• Opportunities for professional development, including certifications and training.
• Additional benefits for academic teaching and speaking engagements.
• Knowledge-sharing sessions where you can learn from our Dreamix team.
• Team and company-wide events that bring us together.
• Amazing week-long summer office and winter office initiatives.
• Additional health insurance and dental allowance to ensure your well-being.
• Multisport card to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.
• Office massages to help you relax and unwind.
