Data Engineer - Pipelines & Platform (AWS, Python)

We're looking for a Data Engineer to design, optimize, and operate the pipelines that power our AI models and real-time dashboards. You'll have Full Ownership of your pipelines. You build the plumbing, you keep it healthy in production, and you make sure the data lands clean, fresh, and reliable in the hands of the teams that depend on it.

Your Responsibilities

ETL/ELT pipelines — Design, implement, and optimize pipelines that ingest, transform, and manage large volumes of structured and unstructured data (Airflow, dbt, Glue).
AWS infrastructure — Architect and maintain a scalable data platform on AWS (ECS, EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda, Glue, Athena, Kinesis), provisioned as Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
Real-time — Work with event streams (Kafka/Kinesis) to deliver low-latency updates to dashboards and AI-powered recommendations.
Datasets for AI/ML — Partner with AI teams to prepare clean, versioned, reliable datasets ready for training and inference.
Observability & reliability — Wire up monitoring, logging, and alerting on your pipelines (Datadog) so production stays highly available.
DevOps & CI/CD — Automate deployments through GitLab CI/CD, apply GitOps practices, keep the build → test → deploy chain smooth.
Governance & security — Ensure compliance with data governance, security, and privacy policies.

‍

Technical Stack

Languages & pipelines

Python (primary), Java or Scala as needed
Airflow, dbt, AWS Glue (ETL/ELT)
Advanced SQL

AWS infrastructure

ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, Glue, Athena
Kinesis and Kafka (MSK) for streaming
Terraform (IaC)

Databases

PostgreSQL (relational, optimization, indexing)
MongoDB (document)

DevOps & delivery

Docker, Kubernetes
GitLab CI/CD, GitOps workflows
Datadog (observability, logs, traces, alerting)

Downstream of you (the teams you serve)

AI/ML teams (training, inference, agents).
Product teams (dashboards, data-driven features).
You build the platform they consume; you set the shape of the datasets and the contracts.

‍

Candidate Profile: "The Operator"

Reliability & production sense — A pipeline that works in dev but breaks in prod isn't a pipeline. You think observability, idempotence, and recovery from day one.
End-to-end ownership — You've already built and maintained production pipelines from A to Z. You know when to make the call yourself and when to pull in feedback.
Python (or Java/Scala) mastery for data — You write clean code, you test, you document the contracts between stages.
Solid AWS — ECS/EKS, Lambda, Kinesis, S3, Glue, Athena, RDS — you move comfortably and you know which service fits which need.
Field-tested DevOps — GitLab CI/CD, GitOps, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes — you don't need hand-holding on IaC.
Databases — Advanced SQL on PostgreSQL (execution plans, indexes, partitioning), comfortable with MongoDB for document workloads.
Data sense for AI/ML — You understand how to structure and prepare a dataset so it's useful to a model, not just clean.
Languages — French proficiency (oral and written) is required. Strong professional English is a real plus.

‍

Nice-to-Have

Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, Kinesis) at scale.
Background in real-time analytics or stream processing.
Exposure to AI/ML platforms (SageMaker, feature stores, vector DBs).
Sports, entertainment, or large-venue operations domain.
