What You Will Do
- Own end-to-end data migration execution: Drive the full OLAP/OLTP migration from GCP to AWS: data mapping, schema conversion, and hands-on lift-and-shift execution.
- Build rock-solid synchronization pipelines: Design and implement data sync pipelines with tight SLAs for latency, consistency, and error recovery. Zero ambiguity on failure modes.
- Bring the target architecture to life: Implement the AWS data architecture end to end, including driver personalization engines and production-grade dashboarding solutions.
- Migrate historical and time-series data at scale: Execute large-volume historical data migrations with rigorous integrity checks and minimal disruption to live operations.
- Build observability from the ground up: Create monitoring, alerting, and reconciliation frameworks that give the team real-time confidence in cross-cloud data fidelity.
- Elevate the team around you: Share your expertise freely. Mentor peers, unblock blockers, and raise the technical floor of the whole engagement.
- Partner closely with the client: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with stakeholders to nail data governance, access patterns, and analytics requirements.
