ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a part‑time Data Engineering and Infrastructure Lead to audit AWS architecture, CI/CD processes, and ETL pipeline decisions in an advisory capacity. This person weighs managed tooling against custom builds, reviews SageMaker-based MLOps pipelines, and mentors the team on engineering standards. Evaluating AI‑assisted development workflows is part of the role.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Audit the current AWS architecture across live applications (MAT / Signal IQ and the Impact Engine), including ECS/ECR, RDS (Postgres), S3, VPC, CloudFront/SSO, and SageMaker-based MLOps pipeline design.
• Review the CI/CD process and end‑to‑end app development lifecycle, recommending SDLC governance layers (schema versioning, environment separation, release gating).
• Evaluate how the team uses Claude Code (PR generation, automated reviews, token/cost management) to confirm output meets professional engineering standards.
• Provide an early technical opinion on ETL / data‑ingestion pipeline architecture (managed ELT tooling vs. custom build).
• Mentor and accelerate the day‑to‑day infrastructure build team, focusing on AWS, DevOps, CI/CD, and data engineering practices.
• Set out recommendations and technical direction where the audit surfaces necessary changes to the current build.
• Report findings and recommendations directly to leadership, framing high‑level risk and readiness.

MUST HAVES

• 6+ years of deep, current hands‑on experience with AWS: ECS/Fargate, ECR, RDS (Postgres), S3, SageMaker, EventBridge, VPC/ALB/CloudFront, IAM.
• Fluency in Infrastructure-as-code, specifically Terraform.
• Proven track record designing or auditing CI/CD pipelines and SDLC governance (e.g., Alembic for schema/version control, environment separation, release gating).
• Strong data engineering depth to provide defensible opinions on ETL / ingestion architecture (managed tools vs. custom builds).
• Experience evaluating AI‑assisted / LLM‑assisted development workflows (e.g., Claude Code) from an engineering-quality and cost‑governance standpoint.
• Comfortable operating in a part‑time advisory capacity (50% stepping down to 25%) as a strong communicator who can mentor less experienced engineers.

NICE TO HAVES

• Prior experience working with small, fast‑moving engineering teams.
• Understanding of MLOps pipelines and data science infrastructure.
• Media/AdTech domain knowledge is helpful but not required.
