Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in data and analytics engineering focus on leveraging advanced technologies and techniques to design and develop robust data solutions for clients. They play a crucial role in transforming raw data into actionable insights, enabling informed decision-making and driving business growth.

In data engineering at PwC, you will focus on designing and building data infrastructure and systems to enable efficient data processing and analysis. You will be responsible for developing and implementing data pipelines, data integration, and data transformation solutions.

Responsibilities:

1.Design and build robust streaming and batch data pipelines with AWS Glue, Lambda, Kinesis Data Streams/Firehose, Amazon MSK (Kafka), and Step Functions. 2.Architect end-to-end systems for real-time ingestion, processing, and analytics, leveraging Kinesis, MSK, Managed Flink, EMR, and Lambda for low-latency, high-availability operations. 3.Implement batch ETL pipelines using Glue, EMR (Spark/Hadoop), and S3, optimizing for cost and performance while handling large-scale datasets. 4.Integrate source systems (IoT, logs, transactional DBs, third-party feeds) and downstream destinations (Redshift, S3, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, Aurora, etc.). 5.Design and implement architectures supporting event-driven microservices, streaming analytics, materialized views, and near-real-time dashboards. 6.Ensure scalability, durability, ordering, and fault-tolerance in stream storage, using Kinesis/MSK and S3 for replay, backfill, and recovery scenarios. 7.Standardize patterns for Change Data Capture (CDC), late/duplicate data handling, data enrichment, stream normalization, and schema evolution. 8.Govern data security (encryption, access control, network isolation), ensure compliance, and embed monitoring/observability pipelines for SLA/SLO adherence. Required Experience and Skills 1.Experience in data engineering/architecture, including significant leadership in AWS cloud data platforms. 2.Expert in designing streaming architectures with Kinesis, Kafka (MSK), Managed Flink, Lambda, and Step Functions. 3.Strong proficiency in batch ETL (AWS Glue, EMR, Spark/Hadoop), large-scale data lake/lakehouse implementation (S3, Delta Lake, Redshift). 4.Hands-on experience architecting hybrid streaming/batch workflows for analytics, reporting, ML, and near-real-time applications. 5.Deep understanding of distributed computing, parallelization, and fault-tolerance strategies for high-velocity, high-volume data. 6.Familiarity with real-time dashboards, API publication (REST, WebSockets), and materialized views for user-facing analytics. Proficient in network/security controls, IAM design, encryption (KMS), and data governance. Experience with DevOps/IaC (CloudFormation, Terraform). 7.Excellent communication and stakeholder leadership; ability to translate business requirements to technical solution patterns.
