Job Description: Technical Lead Engineer

We are looking for a highly skilled Technical Lead Engineer with deep expertise in AWS cloud-native architecture and event-driven data platform engineering. This role leads the design and delivery of a complex AWS modernization program, migrating a legacy event pipeline to a modern architecture built on Amazon DynamoDB Streams, Amazon MSK (Kafka), and Amazon EKS. The Technical Lead will own end-to-end technical delivery — from architecture and pipeline design through integration testing, CI/CD setup, and documentation handoff.

· Backfill Pipeline Engineering: Build and lead execution of S3 and Lambda-orchestrated backfill pipelines; define per-stage validation criteria and rollback strategies.

· Integration Testing: Own end-to-end integration testing to validate data fidelity across distributed pipeline components; define acceptance criteria and sign off on fidelity targets.

· Container Migration: Lead migration of services from AWS Lambda to Amazon EKS; build and maintain CircleCI and ArgoCD CI/CD pipelines for containerised deployments.

· Technical Leadership: Contribute to and review all engineering deliverables; define Definition of Done criteria per phase; champion code quality, test coverage, and security standards across the team.

· Documentation & Handoff: Produce deployment runbooks, pipeline documentation, architecture diagrams, and AWS Well-Architected alignment summaries.

· Stakeholder Coordination: Coordinate cross-team technical dependencies; liaise with client engineering and AWS platform teams; escalate blockers promptly.
