Job Description

We are seeking a talented AWS Data Engineer to join our dynamic Data Engineering team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable data pipelines and architectures in the AWS cloud environment. This role will collaborate closely with data scientists, analysts, and other business stakeholders to deliver robust data solutions.

Base Compensation Range: 150,000 - 170,000

The posted range is the hiring range for this role — a subset of the broader range available to employees over time — and reflects base salary across our national hiring scale. Final offers are based on several factors, including the candidate's skills and experience, internal pay equity, work location, market conditions for the role, and the specific scope and responsibilities of the position. The top of the range is reserved for candidates who notably exceed the requirements; the lower end applies to those with less experience or fewer preferred qualifications. For positions based in higher-cost zones (e.g., California, New York, New Jersey), actual compensation may exceed the posted range; your recruiter will share specifics during the process.
