SAIC is searching for a motivated, career and customer-oriented Sr. AWS Data
Engineer who will lead the next phase of our healthcare data platform
modernization. This role is central to our evolution from an MSSQL XML object
store toward a scalable, cloud-native AWS data architecture — one that enables
business stakeholders and analysts to run performant, SQL-based reports and
queries against our healthcare data seamlessly. This person will help evaluate
and decide the right AWS data strategy for our platform. This is a 100% Remote
role.
Job Description:
Evaluate and recommend the optimal AWS-native data storage and query
architecture for our XML object store data — assessing options such as S3 +
Athena, Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift, and OpenSearch based on query patterns,
reporting needs, cost, and scalability
Design and build the reporting and query layer that allows business
stakeholders and non-technical users to run relational SQL queries against
healthcare data using familiar tooling
Architect the migration path for XML object store data from MSSQL into the
target AWS platform, defining storage formats, partitioning strategies, and
data organization for optimal query performance
Build and maintain AWS data catalog, schemas, and metadata management so that
object store data is discoverable and queryable by business users
Optimize query performance and cost across chosen AWS services —
partitioning, compression, file formats, and query pattern tuning
Work directly with business stakeholders and analysts to understand reporting
requirements and translate them into durable, performant data models and
query patterns
Collaborate with backend C#/.NET engineers to ensure data flows cleanly from
EDI processing pipelines into the new data layer
Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for data infrastructure using
AWS-native tooling (CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy)
Apply infrastructure as code (IaC) practices using AWS CDK, CloudFormation,
or Terraform
Document architecture decisions, data flows, and data dictionaries clearly
for both technical and non-technical audiences
