Data Engineer (Python / AWS)
Intriq
We’re looking for a Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain reliable data infrastructure that powers analytics, financial models, and AI-driven products.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the data, cares about data quality and performance, and can translate messy real-world inputs into clean, trustworthy pipelines.
What You’ll Do
Design and build scalable data pipelines using Python
Ingest, transform, and validate data from multiple internal and external sources
Work with AWS services to store, process, and orchestrate data workflows
Ensure data quality, consistency, and observability across pipelines
Optimize performance, cost, and reliability of data infrastructure
Collaborate with backend, AI/ML, and product teams to support analytics and modeling needs
Maintain clear documentation and data contracts
What We’re Looking For
Must-Have
Strong Python skills (data processing, ETL/ELT, scripting)
Hands-on experience with AWS, such as:
S3, Lambda, EC2, or similar
GCP Experience
Experience building and maintaining production-grade data pipelines
Solid understanding of data modeling, schemas, and transformations
Familiarity with SQL and relational databases
Attention to data correctness, edge cases, and failure modes
Nice-to-Have
Experience with financial data, market data, or time-series datasets
Exposure to AI / ML workflows (feature pipelines, training data prep)
Experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, Step Functions, Prefect, etc.)
Streaming or near–real-time data (Kafka, Kinesis, etc.)
Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
Experience working in startup or fast-moving product teams
How We Work
Data quality over data volume
Simple, observable systems over over-engineering
Strong ownership and accountability
Close collaboration with product, engineering, and AI teams
Bonus Points
You think about data as a product
You proactively surface data issues before they become problems
You enjoy improving pipelines that already “work” but could work better
