Video Interview

Long Term Contract

JD::

Primary Objective: Modernize a legacy Operational Data Store (ODS) by converting legacy database schemas, refactoring data pipelines, and implementing AI-driven automation to build solutions from scratch.

This is primarily a Database Modernization / Data Engineering position rather than a traditional Full-Stack role.

The target environment involves transitioning from a legacy Sybase database to a modern cloud/relational architecture (PostgreSQL or Snowflake) using AI tools like Amazon Kiro.

Key Responsibilities & Outcomes

• Convert legacy database schemas and refactor data pipelines.
• Implement AI-driven automation to build components from scratch.
• Utilize Amazon Kiro (AWS s agentic AI IDE/environment) to automate code refactoring, spec generation, and schema conversions.
• Focus entirely on back-end data architecture and database migration (minimal to no frontend work).

Qualifications & Requirements

Required:

• 1-3 years of AI experience.
• 8 years of development experience.
• Deep database transformation and data engineering experience.
• Strong underlying database/data engineering capabilities (ability to learn Amazon Kiro on the job is acceptable if these core skills are strong).

Preferred:

• Prior hands-on experience with AI-assisted development or agentic tools.
• Experience with Java/Python (used primarily for scripting, data pipelines, or basic glue logic).
• Experience with Kafka (beneficial for understanding real-time streaming contexts).
