Title: AWS Data Engineer

• Design, build, and operate end-to-end data pipelines (ingestion → transformation → serving) on Databricks and/or Snowflake, following medallion/layered architecture patterns

• Configure and administer workspaces/accounts - compute policies, resource sizing, environment setup, and access hierarchy - per the SDP reference architecture

• Implement data governance controls: catalogue and schema design, RBAC, row/column-level security, data masking, and lineage tracking

• Set up CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code for pipeline deployment and environment promotion (dev → test → prod)

• Configure monitoring, telemetry, and audit logging to meet SDP's central observability and security posture requirements
