- Design, build, and maintain data engineering workflows and platform services supporting the Vision platform and model delivery ecosystem.
- Develop and extend platform components responsible for data ingestion, transformation, validation, and routing across internal and external systems.
- Build robust Python-based services, APIs, and microservices supporting portfolio analytics, optimization workflows, and data pipelines.
- Design and optimize SQL-based data processing (PostgreSQL, SQL Server), including complex queries, performance tuning, and large-scale ETL workflows.
- Implement and support distributed, event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, asynchronous workflows) for scalable platform execution.
- Develop and maintain cloud-native applications on AWS (e.g., Lambda, S3, ECS/EKS, Step Functions, Aurora).
- Design and operate CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes to ensure reliable and repeatable releases.
- Ensure data quality, auditability, and observability through logging, monitoring, lineage tracking, and validation frameworks.
- Collaborate closely with investment teams to translate portfolio construction, risk, and analytics requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Continuously improve the platform through modern engineering practices, including testing, performance optimization, and AI assisted development.
- Participate in production support and on-call rotation as needed.
