Technical Lead for Water Information Systems within Hamilton's Public Works, overseeing data management and GIS projects. Leading initiatives to enhance software applications for asset management.
About the role
- Analytical contributor designing and building shared storage infrastructure for Autodesk Construction Solutions. Engaging in backend software engineering and API management to enhance project outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain the Structured Record Access API layer: the abstraction between engineering teams and the managed Postgres and DynamoDB fleet across all production regions
- Implement and operate Kafka-based semantic event emission from the SRS abstraction layer, replacing raw CDC stream consumption downstream
- Contribute to the schema catalog and runtime connection management service, giving teams consistent metadata access without environment-specific configuration
- Write code-first schema migrations with mandatory test coverage and validated rollback, deployed via the database platform API
- Build developer tooling and SDKs that reduce per-team provisioning and schema management toil
- Continuously assess cloud platform needs across the SRS fleet, identify risks and gaps before they become incidents
- Drive improvements in capacity management, monitoring/alerting, query tuning, load optimization, and data replication for reporting workloads
- Create and institutionalize best practices and health models across the database fleet, using observability tooling and AWS automation to enforce standards consistently
- Consult directly with engineering teams and group leads on storage readiness and risk
- Build a network of storage champions across the division to distribute expertise and raise the floor on database hygiene
- Curate training opportunities for engineering teams in database technologies and management
- Provide tactical support during production emergencies
Requirements
- 3+ years of backend software engineering in a distributed systems or platform context
- 3+ years of Kubernetes architecture at scale
- 5+ years of Terraform experience
- 5+ years of experience with cloud data technologies
- Strong hands-on experience with Postgres or DynamoDB: schema design, query optimization, migrations
- ORM experience in a backend platform context, particularly patterns that intercept entity state changes to drive semantic event emission
- Exposure to event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, or equivalent) in a production system
- Experience building and operating APIs in AWS: REST or gRPC, not just consumption
- Proficiency in Python, Go, or Java; fluency in one and willingness to work in others is acceptable
- Comfortable operating in a multi-region, multi-partition AWS environment
- Strong communication and organizational skills
Benefits
- Annual cash bonuses
- Commissions for sales roles
- Stock grants
- Comprehensive benefits package
