Department: Product Development

Reports to: Senior Manager, Data Engineering

Suvoda is seeking a recent graduate with a passion for data and a strong technical foundation to join our Product Development team. This is an opportunity to launch a data engineering career at Suvoda — a global clinical trial technology company where your work directly helps advance human health.

As a Data Engineer, you'll join a collaborative team building a modern, cloud-native data platform. You'll help build domain-oriented data products using GraphQL APIs and contribute to near real-time reporting through AWS DMS replication to Aurora PostgreSQL.

Responsibilities:

Assist in implementing a data mesh architecture using GraphQL APIs to expose domain-owned data products.
Help build and maintain an AWS-based data lake using S3, Glue, Lake Formation, Athena, and Redshift.
Develop and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines using AWS Glue and PySpark for batch and streaming data workloads.
Support AWS DMS pipelines to replicate data into Aurora PostgreSQL for near real-time analytics.
Follow best practices for data governance, quality, observability, and API design.
Collaborate with product, engineering, and analytics teams to deliver reliable data solutions.
Contribute to CI/CD and automation efforts for data infrastructure and pipelines.
Stay curious — explore emerging tools and share ideas that could make our platform even better.

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in technical fields such as Computer Science or Mathematics.
Strong foundational skills in Python and SQL — you're comfortable writing queries and scripts from scratch.
Academic or project experience with data engineering concepts: pipelines, data modeling, or ETL/ELT workflows.
Exposure to cloud platforms, particularly AWS (coursework, personal projects, or internships all count).
Familiarity with data structures, distributed systems, or database design — you understand the "why" behind the tools.
A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills — you ask good questions and explain your thinking clearly.
A genuine enthusiasm for data and a desire to keep learning in a fast-moving environment.

Nice to Have:

Master's degree or relevant certifications.
Experience with event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis).
Familiarity with data cataloging and metadata management tools.
Awareness of data privacy and compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
Exposure to agile development and DevOps practices.
