Remote AWS Big Data Engineer

Inspire, Architect, and Scale Data Solutions—From Anywhere

Can you turn raw data into actionable insights that transform entire organizations? Here, data isn’t just numbers—it’s opportunity. As a Remote AWS Big Data Engineer, you’ll architect, optimize, and scale cloud-based data solutions that help our teams make smarter, faster decisions. With an annual salary of $145,500, your expertise will become the backbone for predictive analytics, automated reporting, and AI-powered products—all from the comfort of your chosen workspace.

Impact That Goes Beyond Pipelines

You won’t simply build data pipelines; you’ll empower business leaders to see trends before they become headlines. By designing robust ETL workflows and maintaining data lakes with best-in-class reliability, you’ll ensure that data scientists, analysts, and product owners have real-time access to insights that drive growth. Your work will fuel everything from customer experience improvements to revenue-generating strategies. Expect your technical recommendations to shape the priorities of entire departments—your voice will carry weight.

What You’ll Tackle Each Day

Design & Delivery of Scalable Data Architectures

Every day, you’ll harness AWS big data tools—think Glue, Redshift, EMR, S3, and Athena—to orchestrate end-to-end data journeys. Whether ingesting terabytes from streaming APIs or modeling data warehouses for analytics, you’ll always be a few steps ahead of business needs. Spot inefficiencies before they become bottlenecks and automate manual data processes into self-healing, reliable pipelines. We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely on building quality solutions.

Collaborate for Business Impact

Work closely with analytics, product, and engineering stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and effective collaboration. You’ll translate strategic questions into technical data solutions and ensure each team’s needs are not only met but anticipated. Imagine collaborating with UX designers to define what customer success means or working with finance to deliver automated reporting tools that save hundreds of hours per quarter. You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or a whiteboard app. Your ability to align across teams ensures our data architecture always reflects real-world business goals.

Optimize, Secure, and Innovate

Security and compliance aren’t afterthoughts—they’re built into every solution you design. You’ll monitor pipelines, perform root-cause analysis on data failures, and implement robust recovery strategies. Drive continuous improvement by evaluating new AWS features, adopting emerging best practices, and optimizing storage costs without compromising performance. You'll strike a balance between technical rigor and the flexibility required in remote, distributed work settings.

The Tools That Power Your Day

You’ll utilize AWS-native services for large-scale data management and integrate with tools such as Snowflake, Tableau, and Apache Spark as needed. Automation will be second nature—think Infrastructure-as-Code, such as CloudFormation or Terraform. Your approach to testing and validation will safeguard the quality and consistency of information at every stage of the data journey—from ingestion to reporting. The result? Reliable pipelines that allow everyone—from marketing to product—to trust the numbers and build confidently on top of your work.
