Data Integration Engineer, AVP

• Analyze, design, develop, test, and maintain large‑scale, cloud‑native data integration services using microservices and serverless patterns (e.g., Azure Functions). 

• Contribute to the design and implementation of core data integration platforms and services, with a focus on scalability, resiliency, operability, and performance. 

• Build and enhance APIs and services supporting batch, near‑real‑time, and event‑driven data ingestion and transformation workflows. 

• Collaborate closely with architects, business analysts, product managers, and partner engineering teams across CRIMS and the broader Alpha Platform to deliver simple, sustainable solutions to complex problems. 

• Develop, test, debug, and deploy software primarily using Java, SQL, and related cloud‑native technologies. 

• Perform code reviews and provide informed guidance on design and implementation decisions. 

• Write unit, integration, and automation tests to ensure a high‑quality, reliable platform. 

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in distributed, cloud‑based production systems, including root‑cause analysis for mission‑critical client implementations. 

• Support and enhance existing internal Java‑based import/export frameworks (built on Java and Pentaho Kettle) and enterprise integration frameworks built using Talend integrations as part of overall data platform ownership. 

• Participate actively in the agile development process, including daily standups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives. 

• Mentor and guide junior engineers, demonstrating increasing independence in design and development. 

• Produce and maintain technical documentation, design artifacts, and operational runbooks.
