About The RoleOur data infrastructure was built from scratch on DigitalOcean with no managed services. Custom containerized microservices and hand-rolled message queues, manually maintained end-to-end. It works, but we've outgrown it, and the migration to AWS is underway.You'll join the Data team to keep the current platform running while leading the migration to AWS managed services. This is a dual mandate: maintain what exists and build what replaces it.This is a small team at a small company. You'll make architectural decisions with real consequences and work across the full data stack, from ingestion through modeling. This isn't a role for someone who wants deep specialization in one area.What You'll DoOwn the DigitalOcean-to-AWS migration: plan the transition from custom-built infrastructure to managed services and execute it without breaking productionKeep the lights on: while migrating, maintain legacy services, manage Docker containers, handle library and version updates across the existing platformBuild and evolve data pipelines: ingestion, processing, and modeling for cybersecurity intelligence data that feeds our Mercury analytics platform and analyst workflowsCollaborate with Threat Intelligence Engineers on data access patterns, tool integration, and source modifications as business priorities shiftShape the team's technical direction: with two engineers on the data side, your judgment carries weightWhat You BringExperience building infrastructure in resource-constrained environments: you've set up data systems from nothing, not only maintained or extended existing ones. This is the qualification we weigh highest.Cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure): you understand managed services well enough to decide when to use them and when not toPython as a working language for data engineeringGolang - working familiarity Docker and containerized services: deploying, debugging, and managing containers is routine for youMicroservices architecture or distributed systems: you've designed or maintained service-oriented systems, not only monolithsData engineering fundamentals: you can reason about data pipelines from ingestion through modelingComfort with AI-assisted development (Copilot, Claude, Cursor)You'll also need professional English proficiency (the team works across countries) and genuine comfort with startup ambiguity.
